WHAT WE DO

Specialist crating for valuable instruments

Our piano crating service gives valuable instruments the highest level of protection for transport. We measure each piano and build a bespoke wooden crate around it, so the instrument is held firmly and shielded from knocks and movement on the road.

We handle the whole job from start to finish. We collect the piano from your location, crate it under controlled conditions, and deliver it securely to the address you give us. The work is carried out by trained crews using purpose-built equipment, and every job is fully insured.

HOW IT WORKS

A complete crating service

We keep the process simple. You tell us what needs crating and where it is going, and we take care of every stage.

WHY PIANOSPEED

Why choose our crating service

Crating a piano is not a job for a general remover. The instrument has to be braced correctly, padded in the right places, and enclosed in a crate built to the right dimensions. We have spent years doing exactly that work for high-value pianos and other fragile items.

  • Specialist expertise handling fragile, high-value pianos and delicate items.
  • Custom wooden crates built for strength, durability and shock protection.
  • Flexible service. We can crate not only pianos but also furniture, antiques and artwork.
  • Trained crews and purpose-built equipment on every job.

Questions

What can you crate apart from pianos?

We crate pianos of all sizes, and we can also build crates for furniture, antiques, artwork and other sensitive items. Each crate is measured and built around the item it holds.

Do you collect and deliver, or just build the crate?

We handle the whole job. Our team collects the piano or item from your location, builds the bespoke crate, and delivers it securely to your chosen onward destination. Every job is fully insured.

How is the crate built to protect the piano?

Each piano is measured first, then packed into a custom-built wooden crate designed for strength, durability and shock protection. The instrument is braced and padded so it cannot shift in transit.

Where do you provide crating?

We provide crating, collection and delivery across the GB mainland and Belfast and Northern Ireland. Book online at https://book.pianospeed.com or call 020 7164 0000 to arrange a job.
