Piano moving across Edinburgh and the EH postcodes
Our van is in Edinburgh EH postcodes every Thursday. The Scottish capital is 310 miles from our London base and the Thursday route runs as a planned weekly schedule, so your move is built into a sequence of confirmed addresses rather than a one-off trip from London to Edinburgh.
EH1 covers the Old Town, including the Royal Mile, Lawnmarket and Grassmarket. EH2 takes in the New Town and the West End. EH3 spans Inverleith, Warriston, Tollcross, Fountainbridge and Canonmills. EH7 includes Craigentinny, Broughton, Restalrig, Lochend, Abbeyhill and Hillside. EH8 covers the South Side, Northfield, Meadowbank, Dumbiedykes, Piershill and Canongate. For addresses in EH4 to EH17 and the surrounding Lothian and Midlothian areas, book at https://book.pianospeed.com or call 020 7164 0000 and we will confirm coverage for your exact postcode.

TOWNS, VILLAGES AND DISTRICTS WE COVER AROUND EDINBURGH
Districts and neighbourhoods on the Thursday route
EH1 takes in the Old Town proper, including Old Town itself, Greenside and Roxburgh's Court. Old Town addresses on lanes and closes off the Royal Mile can involve steep approaches, low-ceilinged entries and tight doorways where advanced planning is worth doing before moving day. The Heart of Midlothian mosaic is inlaid in the High Street cobbles near St Giles' Cathedral, and the surrounding streets in this part of EH1 are among Edinburgh's oldest standing addresses; if your piano is on an upper floor of a close here, let us know at the time of booking and we will assess the route.
EH2 covers the New Town and West End, including streets of Georgian and Victorian properties with high ceilings and wide windows. EH3 runs from Inverleith and Warriston in the north through Tollcross, Fountainbridge and Canonmills. EH7 extends from Broughton and Abbeyhill east into Craigentinny, Restalrig, Lochend and Hillside. EH8 covers the South Side near the University of Edinburgh, plus Northfield, Meadowbank, Dumbiedykes, Piershill and Canongate along the foot of Arthur's Seat. Outer Edinburgh including Morningside, Bruntsfield, Marchmont, Leith, Portobello, Corstorphine and Colinton all sit within Thursday route coverage.
ACCESS AND STAIRS
Tenements, common stairs and Edinburgh's stone housing stock
The dominant housing type across most of Edinburgh is the tenement, a stone-built block of flats sharing a common stair. In Marchmont and Bruntsfield in EH9 and EH10, in Leith in EH6, in Newington and Sciennes in EH9, and in dozens of streets across EH7 and EH8, the common stair is the only route to an upper flat. Many are three or four storeys tall with stone treads and tight half-landing turns. We move pianos up and down these stairs regularly using piano-trained crews, padded skid boards and stair-climbing equipment. Where the stair is too narrow for the instrument we arrange a crane lift from the street.
New Town flats in EH2 and EH3 are a different challenge: high ceilings and wide reception rooms are welcoming for a piano, but first and second floor properties can involve many steps from street level, and the listed stone frontages restrict the options for crane access. For all access scenarios, floor level and access details are included in your online quote. Stairs carry an additional charge, calculated at the point of booking at book.pianospeed.com, so the price you see is the price you pay.
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PIANO
Transit protection on every Edinburgh move
Every piano travels on a padded skid board and is wrapped in a top of the range, triple-thickness fitted transit cover tailored to that instrument type. On grands and baby grands, the legs and pedals are removed, each wrapped individually in padded bags and placed inside a heavy duty crate for the 310-mile journey to or from Edinburgh. Clavinovas and stage pianos get crating suited to their build.
We are fully insured. Our Trustpilot rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 77 reviews, which you can verify before booking. Piano moves start from £125. The exact fixed price for your Edinburgh move is calculated at book.pianospeed.com based on your addresses, access details and the type of piano.

Questions
Which Edinburgh postcodes do you cover and on what day?
We cover all EH postcodes, including EH1 to EH17 and the surrounding Lothian and Midlothian areas. The set delivery day for Edinburgh is currently Thursday. Book at book.pianospeed.com or call 020 7164 0000 to confirm coverage for your exact address.
Can you move a piano up a common stair in an Edinburgh tenement?
Yes. Moving pianos up tenement common stairs is one of the most frequent jobs we do in Edinburgh. We use piano-trained crews, padded skid boards and stair-climbing equipment for all stair work. Stairs carry an additional charge, calculated automatically when you book at book.pianospeed.com. Where the stair is too tight for the instrument we arrange a crane lift from the street.
Can you move a grand piano in Edinburgh?
Yes. We move grands, baby grands and concert grands in Edinburgh on the Thursday route using piano-trained crews, padded skid boards and triple-thickness fitted transit covers, with the legs and pedals individually wrapped and crated. Tell us the make and overall length when you book so we send the right crew with the right kit.
How far ahead should I book an Edinburgh piano move?
Three to four weeks ahead is sensible, especially around university term times when demand for piano moves in Edinburgh picks up. You can check live Thursday availability and book at book.pianospeed.com.
Can I combine an Edinburgh piano move with storage?
Yes. Specialist climate-controlled piano storage is available through our sister company at PianoStorage.co.uk. If you need storage before or after an Edinburgh move, call 020 7164 0000 and we will coordinate both.
