Types of Pianos We Move in Portsmouth
Not all pianos are created equal, and moving each type requires different planning and equipment. At GoMove, we handle them all:
Upright Pianos
A favourite in homes and schools, upright pianos are compact but surprisingly heavy. We ensure your upright is carefully wrapped, strapped, and maneuvered with precision through any space.
Baby Grand Pianos
Baby grands require extra care due to their size and shape. Our movers often dismantle parts such as legs, pedals, and lids to ensure safe transit. We then reassemble your piano securely at its new location.
Full-Size Grand Pianos
Large grand pianos demand a specialist approach. Using dollies, skids, and additional manpower, we carefully dismantle, transport, and reinstall your instrument.

How We Move Your Pianos Our 4-Step Process
Planning & Assessment
We begin by understanding the type and size of your piano, as well as the access points at both collection and delivery addresses. Our team checks for potential challenges such as narrow corridors, staircases, or limited lift access. By planning ahead, we can decide on the right equipment and manpower, ensuring the move runs smoothly from start to finish.
Protective Preparation
Your piano is fully secured before any lifting begins. We wrap it in padded blankets, protect delicate parts like pedals and the keyboard, and place covers on floors and walls where needed. This prevents scratches, dents, or other damage to both your instrument and your property, giving you peace of mind before we even start the move.
Specialist Handling
Using professional moving tools such as piano skids, dollies, ramps, and heavy-duty straps, our trained movers carefully manoeuvre the piano through any space. Whether it’s being carried down stairs, guided through a tight doorway, or loaded into a lift, every step is handled with precision and teamwork to ensure maximum safety.
Secure Transport & Setup
Once inside our removals vehicle, your piano is strapped securely to prevent any shifting during transit. Our vans are equipped for heavy, delicate instruments, so you can trust it will arrive in perfect condition. On delivery, we position it exactly where you want it and reassemble any parts, such as the legs or lid of a grand piano, so it’s stable and ready to play.
