About this service
What piano removal bristol actually looks like.
Pianos are weight in one very awkward box. A standard upright is 200–250kg of metal frame and wood concentrated into a piece of furniture that doesn’t want to turn corners. Piano moves are always two-man at £110/hr — one person isn’t safe or legal on that weight. Most Bristol piano jobs land in 1–3 hours depending on access. I’ll estimate from the piano type, floors and parking you describe, and confirm on arrival. No VAT, no call-out. If the job really needs a specialist piano crew (crane jobs, concert grands), I’ll tell you before I quote.
What I’ll take on
Upright pianos (modern and antique), digital pianos (the easy ones), and small baby grands where access is realistic and there’s ground-floor or near-ground access at both ends. Full concert grands and any piano requiring a hoist through a window I’ll refer on — that’s specialist work and the right tool is a piano-specific crew with a crane, not a man and van.
Stairs, turns and honest walks
Old houses often have pianos that were installed before anyone thought about how they’d leave. If it came in 40 years ago through a window that’s since been bricked up, it’s not going down a Victorian staircase without damage. I’ll walk the route before committing. If it’s achievable with a piano board and good technique, I’ll quote. If it’s not, I’ll tell you who to call instead rather than pretend it’ll be fine.

About us
Checkatrade — 9.8/10 · 164 ReviewsBristol Local Van Man — removals and clearance in Bristol.
Bristol Local Van Man is run by Nigel, a Nailsea-based owner-operator with 15+ years in removals and clearance across Bristol, Bath and the wider South West. We handle removals, rubbish clearance, house clearance and office clearance under one roof.
Most jobs are done by Nigel direct. Busy weeks and larger jobs bring in trusted local drivers Nigel has worked with for years — every one carries the same waste-carrier paperwork and works to the same fixed-price standard.
Waste is carried away under our UK registered waste carrier licence (CBDU445737), so items taken off your property go to a licensed facility rather than a side street.
Whether you’re moving a one-bed flat in central Bristol, clearing a probate property in Bath, or stripping out an office in Weston-super-Mare, get a price up front before anything is loaded.

Frequently asked
Piano Removal Bristol— common questions.
How much does piano removal in Bristol cost?
£110/hr for a two-man team — piano moves are always two people. Most Bristol jobs run 1–3 hours depending on stairs, parking and distance. I’ll estimate from the specifics and confirm on arrival.
Can you dispose of an old piano that no one wants?
Yes. Old uprights past repair get stripped for metal and timber at a licensed facility — pricing follows the disposal side rather than the move rate, so call and I’ll quote for the specific piano.
Why always two people?
Pianos are 200kg+ in one awkward shape. One person can’t balance that on stairs safely, and it’s also not how insurance works on that kind of weight.
