Moving in London — what to know
Local considerations for your piano removal in London.
- ✓Most of Greater London is inside the ULEZ zone — ask your driver if their van is compliant (non-compliant vans pay £12.50/day). The Congestion Charge (£15/day) applies if your route passes through central London.
- ✓Residential street parking in inner London is almost always permit-only. For loading outside your property, you'll need a parking bay suspension — apply to your borough council at least 5 working days ahead.
- ✓Many London properties are converted Victorian houses with narrow staircases and no lift. Mention any access issues in your job description so drivers can price accurately.
- ✓End-of-month dates are the most popular for London moves due to tenancy cycles. Book at least 3 weeks in advance for Friday or Saturday moves.

Piano Removal in London — FAQ
How much does piano removal cost?
A local upright piano move typically costs £150–£400 depending on access, stairs, and distance. Grand piano moves are usually more expensive due to disassembly requirements. Posting on We Got The Move lets specialist drivers compete for your job.
Do I need a specialist to move my piano?
Yes — pianos are extremely heavy (an upright can weigh 200–500kg) and require specialist equipment and experience. Attempting to move a piano with standard removal staff risks damage to the instrument and injury to your movers.
How is a grand piano transported?
Grand pianos are partially disassembled — the legs and pedal lyre are removed, the lid is secured, and the piano is tilted onto a specialist piano board. Specialist drivers have the experience and equipment to do this safely.
Will moving affect my piano's tuning?
Any move will affect tuning slightly. We recommend having your piano tuned 2–4 weeks after the move once it has acclimatised to its new environment. Allow 4–6 weeks if moving from a centrally-heated to a non-heated space.
Can pianos be moved up or down stairs?
Yes, but it requires specialist equipment (piano skates, stair climbers) and experienced handlers. Describe your staircase in detail when posting — width, number of steps, and any tight turns — so drivers can assess and quote accurately.
How far in advance should I book a piano removal?
Specialist piano removal drivers are in high demand. We recommend posting at least 2–3 weeks before your required date, especially for grand pianos or complex moves involving stairs.
