Piano questions
Can you take a piano from upstairs?
We carry everything out from inside, so you don't lift a thing. Show the stairs and the route out in your photos so we can price it properly.
Is my old piano worth anything?
Some are, many are not. If it is in good condition, try selling it or offering it to a school or community group. If not, book us.
Can I take it to the tip myself?
You can, but pianos are heavy and awkward. Check what your tip accepts first: see [Reading tips](/reading-tips/), [Wokingham tips](/wokingham-tips/) or [Oxfordshire tips](/oxfordshire-tips/).
