Yes, we offer specialist piano removals across South Wales. Upright and grand pianos require specialist handling and equipment — our team is experienced in safely moving pianos in and out of all types of property.
Do you provide storage?

Booking & Availability
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance, particularly during busy periods such as summer months and end-of-month dates (popular completion days). However, we do our best to accommodate short-notice bookings — call us to check availability.
Do you offer same-day or last-minute removals?
Yes, subject to availability. If you need an urgent or same-day removal, call us directly on 07474 660200 and we will do our best to accommodate you. Same-day bookings are often possible during quieter periods.
Are you available at weekends and bank holidays?
Yes, we operate 7 days a week including weekends and bank holidays. Saturday moves are available throughout the day. Sunday moves are available from 9am to 5pm.

Moving Day
What should I do to prepare for moving day?
Label all boxes clearly with the room they belong to. Disassemble flat-pack furniture in advance if possible (or ask us to do it). Make sure pathways are clear and access to the property is unobstructed. Reserve parking for our van if on a busy road. Have an essentials bag ready with items you need on the day.
What if access to my property is difficult?
We handle all types of access — narrow streets, terraced houses, flats without lifts, and properties with limited parking. Just let us know when booking so we can plan accordingly and bring the right size vehicle.
