Weight, stairs and an honest yes or no
Piano removals in Rochdale are a specific job because of the weight and the buildings. An upright in a straight hall is straightforward. The same upright at the top of a terrace stair in the town, or a grand in a front room in Bamford or Norden, needs a look at the turns before anyone agrees a time. We protect floors and the instrument. We do not drag a piano around a corner it will not survive.
The photo for this service shows furniture wrapped in black film. A piano is wrapped and padded for the route, then loaded so it cannot shift. Tell us about loose veneer, a cracked board or a previous repair.
Other furniture, without a piano, is furniture removals. A piano as part of a full home is still worth naming on house removals so the crew is planned for it.
What we need from you
The make is useful, but the measurements and the stair matter more. Measure the width of the piano and the narrowest door, including the bottom of the stairs. Say which floor it is on and which floor it is going to. If it is a grand, ask your tuner whether the legs and lyre should come off before we arrive. We can work with a technician. We do not pretend to be one.
Check the floor at the destination. A piano wants a solid floor and a place out of strong sun and damp. We will set it where you ask if that spot is safe to reach.
Local houses
We collect from houses in Bamford, Norden, Littleborough and Wardle, and from other Rochdale addresses on the same basis. Parking on a hill, a shared path, or a car already in the way should be in the enquiry. Our listed address is 4 Swain Street, Rochdale OL12 0QW. Do not bring a piano there. It is not a public warehouse.

What affects the cost
Upright or grand
A grand is a different job from an upright, especially if the lid and legs have to come off.
Stairs and turns
A straight hall is quicker than a Rochdale terrace with a half landing.
Distance
Across town and a drive to another part of the UK are quoted differently.
Preparation
If a technician has to prepare the piano, that person's time is separate from our quote unless you ask us to include a wait.

Piano removals FAQs
Do you move digital pianos?
Yes. A digital piano is usually lighter, but it can still be awkward on a stair. Tell us the model size if you know it.
Will you tune it afterwards?
No. Tuning is a technician's job. A piano often needs time to settle in a new room before it is tuned.
Can you take a piano out of a cellar or down a tight terrace stair?
Sometimes. Send photos. If the turn is too tight, we will not force it. A technician may need to reduce a grand before it will leave the room.
Is the piano covered?
Insurance is provided. Ask us what is covered when you book, including goods in transit, and tell us if the instrument has a high value so we can say whether the cover is enough.
Can it travel with the rest of the house?
Often, yes, if the crew and the route are planned for it. Say so when you book house removals so it is not a surprise on the day.
