If you're reading this, you already know that moving a piano with a traditional moving company can be extremely expensive. Depending on the type of piano and the number of flights of stairs, the price can even go up to £1,000…

Here, I'll first explain how much it would cost to move your piano with Yoojo, and then I’ll share all my top tips for easily finding the perfect movers on our platform.

Does that sound unbelievable? Yet, that's exactly what hundreds of people in your shoes have paid!
With traditional movers, the cost of moving a piano can range from £250 to over £850.
And let’s be honest, buying a piano is already a significant investment, so we'd rather not pay a similar amount just to move it!
Traditional moving services often add extra fees that easily inflate the final bill :
Extra charges for each flight of stairs without a lift
Additional costs depending on the weight of the piano
Price differences based on the type of piano (upright, grand piano, etc.
Additionally, movers often require you to book them for at least half a day, if not a full day!

How to post a perfect ad for the ideal mover
To post an ad for moving a piano, go to the furniture transport request form.
Fill in the required details so we can send your request only to the most qualified movers.
But most importantly, in the description section, I recommend giving precise information such as:
- the size of the piano
- its weight (if you know)
- whether there is a lift
- any other relevant details
Everything that helps the mover accurately estimate the cost of your job.
Don’t know your piano’s weight?
Here’s a comparison chart to give you an idea:
| Type of Piano |
Estimated Weight |
|---|---|
| Synthesiser |
5 - 10 kg |
| Digital upright piano |
20 - 50 kg |
| Student piano |
80 - 150 kg |
| Upright piano |
150 - 400 kg |
| Grand piano |
400 - 500 kg |
By adding the estimated weight of your instrument in your Yoojo ad, you'll help the movers gauge their pricing.
Since piano weights can vary significantly from one model to another, it’s always helpful to include photos.
