About Our Piano Storage Service
Pianos are sensitive instruments that require stable temperature, controlled humidity, and protection from dust, vibration, and environmental extremes. Whether you’re moving house, renovating, downsizing, or simply need a safe place for your piano between homes, A1 Piano Removals provides specialist piano storage in our purpose-equipped facility in Gloucester.
Our storage facility maintains constant conditions year-round with industrial climate control systems, commercial-grade dehumidifiers, and 24/7 security monitoring including CCTV, alarm systems, and secure access control. With over 33 years of experience handling and storing pianos, we understand exactly what your instrument needs to remain in perfect condition.
Piano Storage by Type
Our climate-controlled facility accommodates all piano types, from compact uprights to full concert grands. Each piano receives individual assessment and tailored storage conditions.
Upright Pianos
Stored upright on reinforced platforms with individual protective covers. Climate control prevents soundboard cracking, key warping, and tuning pin corrosion. Ideal storage conditions maintained year-round.
Grand Pianos
Professional leg removal and horizontal storage on custom-padded cradles. Lid secured, pedal lyre wrapped individually. Extra spacing between units prevents accidental contact. Concert grands allocated dedicated storage bays.
Digital Pianos
Electronic pianos stored away from temperature extremes and electromagnetic interference. All cables and accessories catalogued and stored alongside the instrument. Dust covers and climate control protect sensitive electronics.
Antique & Valuable Pianos
Premium storage for high-value, antique, or historically significant instruments. Enhanced environmental monitoring, individual alarmed bays, and detailed condition reporting on intake and release.

What Our Storage Customers Say
Read authentic reviews from customers who've trusted us with their pianos.
Stored our Yamaha grand piano for 8 months during a house renovation. When it came back, it was in exactly the same condition — the tuner confirmed it barely needed adjusting. The climate control clearly works brilliantly.
We needed emergency piano storage when our house sale fell through. A1 collected within 48 hours and kept our upright safe for 3 months. Flexible contract terms made everything stress-free. First-class service.
As a piano teacher, my Steinway is my livelihood. Trusting it to storage was nerve-wracking, but A1's facility is genuinely impressive — proper climate control, security cameras everywhere, and they sent me condition reports. Highly recommend.
Stored our family heirloom piano — a 1920s Bechstein — for over a year while settling an estate. A1 treated it with tremendous care. The detailed intake photos and monthly checks gave us real peace of mind during a difficult time.
Used A1 to store two uprights from our music school during renovation. Both came back in perfect condition after 4 months. The team handled everything from collection to redelivery, even placing them back in the exact same rooms.
Absolutely faultless service storing our baby grand for 6 months. Collection was careful and professional, the facility is spotless and well-maintained, and delivery back was seamless. Worth every penny for the peace of mind.
