Family-owned Christchurch movers
Experienced piano movers in Christchurch
Bought or sold a piano? Moving house with one? A piano is one of the heaviest, most awkward and most valuable things in most homes. An upright can weigh well over 200 kg, and most of that weight sits high and towards the back, so it doesn’t behave like other furniture on a trolley or a ramp.
That’s why moving one takes more than a couple of strong arms. We’ve got the gear and the experience to get your piano where it needs to go, whether that’s across town or across the South Island.
We’re a family-owned Christchurch moving company with 480+ Google reviews. We’ll move your piano with care and deliver it in the same condition we picked it up, at a price you can afford.
Moving pianos
Upright, grand and everything in between
Most pianos in Christchurch homes are uprights. They’re compact, but they’re also heavy and top-heavy, so they need to be balanced and secured properly on the way down steps and up ramps.
Grand and baby grand pianos are a different job. They’re wider, more fragile at the legs and lid, and need to be prepared before they can go through a standard doorway.
Whatever kind of piano you have, we plan the move around its size and weight and the access at both ends, so there are no surprises on the day.
