Protecting Your Instrument, Your Home, and Your Peace of Mind
Moving a piano isn’t just another job on your to-do list—it’s a delicate operation that demands skill, precision, and care. Whether you own a treasured family upright or a concert-quality grand, your piano deserves more than a standard removals service. Choosing a specialist piano removals company in Kent isn’t simply a smart decision—it’s essential to protect your investment and ensure peace of mind.
More Than Just Furniture: The Emotional Value of Your Piano
A piano is far more than an instrument. It often holds a lifetime of memories—your child’s first music lesson, family singalongs, or the calming sound of familiar melodies after a long day. The sentimental and financial value of a piano can’t be replaced, which is why it must be handled with exceptional care.
At Colin Batt Removals, we understand that moving your piano isn’t just about logistics—it’s about trust. For over 45 years, we’ve helped families and musicians move their most precious instruments safely and securely, treating every piano as if it were our own.
Why Specialist Piano Removals Matter
1. Pianos Are Heavy—Yet Incredibly Delicate
A typical upright piano can weigh over 200kg, while a grand piano can exceed 500kg. Despite their size, they contain intricate internal mechanisms, fine finishes, and sensitive components. A single bump or jolt can cause costly internal damage or tuning issues.
Our trained piano removals team uses purpose-built equipment, heavy-duty protective padding, and precise lifting techniques to ensure your piano is moved without stress or strain.
2. Your Home Deserves Protection Too
Moving a piano through narrow hallways, stairs, or tight corners can easily lead to scratched floors, chipped paint, or dented doorframes. We take every precaution to protect your home—laying floor coverings, wrapping furniture, and planning each route before the move begins.
3. Insurance and Peace of Mind
Accidents during a piano move can be devastating. That’s why we’re fully insured, hold three Bristish Standards and are proud members of the British Association of Removers (BAR), giving you total confidence that your piano—and your property—are protected every step of the way.

“A huge thank you to everyone concerned! I chose Colin Batt Removals as I wanted a company with specific experience of moving pianos…and I was thoroughly impressed by how they delivered my ‘new baby’ grand piano! The removal team were extremely friendly and more than proficient in the way they safely manoeuvred my Dad’s piano, which I’ve recently inherited. Dad would be proud to see it still being used in its new home!”
