How to move with specialist items
Moving home can be challenging at the best of times, we know that and we do our best to make your removals in Christchurch as painless as possible. But if you have a specialist item, like a piano, that needs to travel with you to your new home, you’ll need specialist help to get it there safe and sound.
Pianos, in particular, often have a great deal of sentimental value for their owners, not to mention the fact that they’re large but delicate musical instruments. It’s not as simple as picking them up and putting them in the removal vehicle, they need to be handled with care.
This is something we know all too well as professional piano movers, and we always take the utmost care of your prized possessions.
Whether you’ve got an upright piano that has been handed down through your family, or a stunning baby grand piano that’s the focal point of your living room, we’ll treat it with care and respect.
Our team are fully trained to handle pianos of all shapes and sizes. We also have a selection of specialist equipment to ensure that your piano is moved out of one home and into the next safely. This ranges from protective piano covers to specialist trolleys to help us move the instrument smoothly.
We also have £50,000 in-transit insurance to protect your instrument as it travels from its old home to its new one, giving you complete peace of mind.
If you need somewhere safe to store your piano between moving out of one place and into the next, don’t worry, we can help there too. We can provide both short and long-term piano storage in a caring and safe environment.
Pianos aren’t the only specialist items you might need us to move though. Safes, air conditioning units and even generators are among the other bulky and challenging items we’ve helped to move in the past.
It certainly is worth getting help from our professional movers when it comes to specialist item removals. One columnist for the Argus recently revealed that she is going to hire a professional removal company for her upcoming move after a bad do-it-yourself moving experience.
Kim Mayo explained that she roped her brother in to help with her last move, and it didn’t go well: “In total it took 16 hours and by the time everything had been unloaded and roughly put in place we were barely on speaking terms.” She also revealed that she has a large vintage kitchen cabinet to move - not something you want to attempt on your own!
If you’re moving out of a flat, rather than a house, you might wonder how you’re going to get large and bulky items safely out of your home and into the removal vehicle. Don’t worry though, as we also have access to cranes and cherry pickers if necessary, so if going out of the door and down the stairs isn’t practical, there is another way.
When you come to us at Removals Unlimited, we’ll provide a free, no obligation quote for your move. That will include any specialist possessions you might have, and will factor in the specialist equipment we’ll require on the day. Your move really is in safe hands with us.
