When it comes to moving pianos, experience and expertise are non-negotiable. At A1 Piano Removals, we are proud to be Gloucestershireās premier piano moving specialists. With over 25 years in the industry, we offer a full range of professional services tailored to the unique challenges of piano transportation. Whether you’re moving across the street or across the country, we ensure your treasured instrument is handled with precision, care, and respect.
Unlike general removal companies, we focus exclusively on pianos. Our team is trained to handle upright, baby grand, and full grand pianos with the specialised knowledge these instruments require. We understand their delicate inner mechanics and how to protect them during transport.
We invest in the best tools for the job. Our removal team uses:
Heavy-duty piano trolleys
Stair climbers for tricky multi-storey moves
Custom-built padded covers
Lifting straps and hoists where needed
This equipment ensures your piano is moved safely through tight spaces, staircases, or uneven terrain.
Weāre covered with full public liability and goods-in-transit insurance, giving you peace of mind during every stage of the move. Our team also follows all health and safety protocols to protect both your property and our staff.
From Cheltenham to Bristol, Stroud to Bath, and across the UK, we provide reliable transport for all types of pianos. Weāre familiar with the terrain and access points of many Gloucestershire propertiesāsaving time and avoiding damage.
Perfect for homes, schools, and churches, upright pianos are compact but heavy. Our movers have the expertise to shift them safely without scratching floors or damaging walls.
These larger pianos demand strategic disassembly and reassembly. We protect the legs, pedals, and lid, ensuring everything arrives in perfect condition. Weāve worked in theatres, hotels, music studios, and private homes.
Whether you’re a concert venue, music academy, or piano shop, we offer flexible scheduling and expert logistics to minimise disruption and ensure safe delivery.
Pianos donāt last forever. When it’s time to say goodbye, we dispose of your piano responsiblyāsalvaging parts, donating usable items, and recycling wood and metal where possible.
Need a place to store your piano temporarily during a home renovation or move? Our temperature- and humidity-controlled storage facilities protect your piano from warping, cracking, and dust damage.
Not moving house but need to relocate your piano to another room or floor? We manage internal moves in homes, schools, and public venues.
