Book storageA building site is no place for a piano
Decorating one room is one thing. A real renovation is another. Walls come down, plaster goes up wet, floors are sanded, windows are out for days and the heating is off for weeks. A piano sitting in the middle of that takes the brunt of it, and the harm is often invisible until you sit down to play.
Fine plaster and sanding dust works past covers and settles into the action and on the strings. Wet plaster and an unheated, open house push damp into the wood and felt. Doorways come and go, and a heavy instrument in a working space is a hazard to itself and to the trades. Getting it out is almost always the right call.
Out of harm's way
We collect the piano before the work begins, so it never has to share a room with scaffolding, dust sheets and wet trades. Specialist piano crews wrap and protect it at your home and take it into a clean, dry, climate-controlled facility, where it sits at a steady temperature and humidity for the whole job.
While your house is cold, open and damp for months, your piano is somewhere that never is. No plaster dust, no condensation off bare walls, no heating going on and off. It simply waits, protected and monitored, until the room it is going back to actually exists again.
Renovations overrun
Almost no renovation lands on its original date. The wiring opens up something else, a part is on back order, a room reveals a surprise behind the plaster. We do not ask you to guess how long the work will take, because you cannot. There is no fixed term and clear weekly pricing, so the piano stays safe whether the job runs short or drifts on.
You pay only for the time you use, billed every four weeks, with the collection and the first stretch paid at booking. If the schedule slips, your piano is not the thing you have to worry about.
Back to a finished room
There is no rush to take it back into a room that is not quite done. Bringing a piano home to fresh, still-curing plaster or a newly painted room can undo the care you took to protect it. Wait until the work is genuinely finished and the room has had a chance to dry and air, then book the return.
One message arranges re-delivery on your postcode area's set day. The same kind of crew brings it back, sets it on the floor you have chosen and positions it where you want it. If the new layout means stairs, those are priced clearly in the booking up front.
Simple, transparent pricing
Prices include collection, climate-controlled storage and full insurance. Stairs without a lift and off-day collections are priced transparently in the booking. Re-delivery is quoted when you are ready for the piano back.
Questions
Covers help with the odd knock, but they do not stop fine plaster and sanding dust working into the action and strings, and they do nothing about damp or a heating system that is off for weeks. For anything beyond light decorating, getting the piano out of the room is the safer choice.
Three things. Dust from plaster, sanding and cutting that settles into the mechanism. Damp from wet plaster, bare walls and an unheated, open house. And temperature swings while the heating is off and windows are out. Storage removes the piano from all three.
Before the messy work starts, ideally before the trades arrive. The aim is for the piano never to share the space with dust, wet plaster or an open house. We collect on your postcode area's set day, so book the collection in around your project start date.
Not at all. There is no fixed term, so the piano simply stays safe and stable for as long as the work takes. You pay only for the weeks you use, and extending is easy with clear weekly pricing and no penalty for an overrun.
Yes. It is fully insured from collection to re-delivery and held in a facility that is monitored around the clock. It stays wrapped, protected and logged against your booking for the whole job, well away from the building work at home.
Yes. Fresh plaster and new paint give off moisture as they cure, and bringing a piano back too soon can undo the protection. Let the finished room dry and air first, then book the re-delivery with one message and we bring it home.
