About the company

SW Piano Movers is a removals company that has been moving pianos for more than 16 years. It serves South London and the South of England. The company moves upright pianos and pianolas, organs, and grand pianos up to 6.5 feet in length. Pianos are insured in transit from first to last touch up to a maximum of £10,000, and the company holds public liability insurance cover.

The owner personally plans and attends every job and never contracts out work. SW Piano Movers works at weekends. It has retired from internal upwards stair work. The company carries heavy covers, padded blankets, boards, ramps, piano shoes and skids, and uses large pneumatic tyred trolleys for movement over rough terrain. It offers piano disposal.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

South London piano owners repeatedly describe a service built around the careful handling of valuable instruments, with grand and upright pianos moved between homes, and one family heirloom transported across the city. Stephen features often in accounts, working alongside colleagues named Steve and Joe; reviewers note that his knowledge of pianos is evident from the first conversation, and that the team explains each stage of the process clearly.

Punctuality is a recurring theme, with customers reporting arrivals at the agreed time and updates kept coming before, during and after the move. Several describe the physical work itself as disciplined and calm, with floors, walls and the instruments left unmarked despite tight entrances, scaffolding and staircases. Prices are called fair rather than inflated, and the booking process is described as quick, sometimes with a slot found within days.

The team's manner is noted as polite and respectful, and the advice given on the day, such as spotting a dehumidifier stored inside a piano, is mentioned as a sign of experience. Storage and delivery of grand pianos, piano moving and transportation service form the core of the work described, and the same names come up when customers explain why they would call again.

Absolutely brilliant experience from when i first picked up the phone to arrange the move to when the piano was safely delivered. These are serious professionals who are worth every penny and you can absolutely trust your piano with. Not a single mark on our floor or walls!

Compared to other companies I have contacted, they have been extremely professional from the very first call. They have been amazing, you can really see that they are thrust worthy, know what they are doing and they do it perfectly. We moved an upright piano from Woolwich to Elephant and Castle for a very fair price and with ease. I will surely contact them again if I need to move the piano. Thank you so much again Stephen and Joe, you really are amazing!

I had the pleasure of meeting the two Steve's (and the young lad, apologies I don't know his name) when they moved my piano on Saturday. What a fantastic experience from start to finish. I was contacted less than five minutes after they received my enquiry. I was quoted & booked in straight after that. 48 hours later and they were on site. They arrived when they said they would, they kept me informed every step of the way. This is what elite customer service looks like! Highly recommended & just wanted to say a massive thanks again!

Excellent service and competitively priced. Steve and Steve have this down to a fine art and obviously know what they're doing. Delivered the piano to friends on time and without any problems. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

Stephen provided an excellent service with our family’s heirloom piano being transported from my sister’s home to my own (SE London to SW London). He was able to fit in our piano move within 2 weeks of our contact with him and he provided us with clear communication around the timings of pick up and drop off. On the day of the move, Stephen and his team’s skill and expertise in piano moving was obvious and we felt that our piano was in very safe hands. I would highly recommend Stephen for anyone looking for a piano move, and will use him myself in the future if and when I need a piano mover.

Steve was a pleasure to deal with and clearly has a lot of pride and years of experience moving pianos. His communication and professionalism were top notch. My piano arrived perfectly without a scratch. I would not hesitate to recommend and would use again.
