Piano moving across Islington
Islington is a dense borough of Georgian and Victorian terraced housing, most of it now converted into flats. From the wide streets around Barnsbury and Canonbury to the narrower rows near Angel and Pentonville, and the larger period houses in Highbury and Tufnell Park, the housing stock varies in access but is consistent in one thing: almost every move involves stairs.
We cover the whole N1 postcode, including Angel, Barnsbury, Canonbury, De Beauvoir Town and Hoxton, along with Highbury in N5 and Holloway and Tufnell Park in N7. Islington sits inside our central London coverage, and we run the N postcode on a set weekly schedule. The delivery day for Islington is Wednesday, so your move joins a planned route rather than a one-off trip.
- N1, N5 and N7 postcodes served on a set weekday, currently Wednesday
- Uprights, baby grands, grands, concert grands and digital pianos
- Fully insured, piano-trained crews
- Fixed price online, no site survey needed

PIANOS WE MOVE
Uprights, grands and digital pianos in Islington
We handle every type of piano in Islington. Upright pianos are the most common in N1 and N5, often in Victorian ground-floor flats or conversion living rooms where they were moved in decades ago and have not been touched since. Baby grands and full grands appear regularly too, particularly in the larger houses around Canonbury Square and Barnsbury Street, and in the occasional purpose-built apartment block near Angel.
Tell us the make and model when you book and we send the right crew with the right kit. We work on padded skid boards and use stair-climbing equipment for safe, controlled handling on steps and through tight turns. Grand pianos require the legs and pedals to come off before the move, so telling us the size at the time of booking means we plan the route, the crew size and the vehicle access before the day, not on it.


ACCESS AND PROTECTION
Stairs, tight access and transit protection in Islington
Almost every Islington address involves stairs. Victorian conversions from N1 to N7 typically have a short flight from the street to the front door, then a narrow staircase to upper-floor flats. Georgian terraces around Barnsbury and Canonbury can have steeper stairs with tight landings, while newer builds near Angel tend to have passenger lifts that are often too small for an upright piano. We look at each address individually, and where the stairs are not suitable for safe movement we arrange a crane lift instead.
Stairs are chargeable and calculated automatically when you book online, so the price you see reflects your exact access. Every piano travels in a top of the range, triple-thickness fitted transit cover rather than loose blankets. On grands and baby grands, the legs and pedals each come off and go into their own padded bag, stowed together in a heavy duty crate for transit. Parking is controlled across most of N1, N5 and N7, so we plan the loading bay and any restrictions in advance of the day.
