Our process
How We Handle Your Piano Safely
We treat every piano with utmost care, using expert techniques and high-quality equipment. From secure packing to careful transport, our team ensures your instrument reaches its destination safely, on time, and in perfect condition, giving you complete peace of mind.
Step 1: Initial Contact and Custom Quote Generation
Connect with us today by calling +61 489 292 094 or filling out the simple form on our website at expertmovers.au to begin your seamless piano moving journey. We immediately gather essential details about your instrument—model, location, and destination specifics—to understand the unique logistical challenges involved. Subsequently, our team uses this information to craft a clear, comprehensive, and affordable moving quote tailored precisely to your needs, ensuring full transparency from the very first step.
Step 2: Detailed Pre-Move Planning and Scheduling
Once you approve the quote, our planning phase commences with meticulous detail. We confirm the most suitable moving date and time, coordinating schedules with you proactively. Furthermore, our experts determine the exact equipment required—specialised dollies, ramps, padding—and plan the safest route within your property. This crucial preparation minimizes on-site delays and ensures that our fully prepared team arrives ready to execute the move efficiently and without incident.
Step 3: Expert Preparation and Secure Loading
The moment our trained crew arrives, the physical protection of your piano becomes our absolute priority. In fact, your instrument is carefully wrapped using premium, multi-layered padding and secured firmly with heavy-duty straps. For uprights, this often involves a piano skid board; for grands, careful disassembly of legs may occur. Therefore, the piano is then expertly maneuvered using appropriate leverage and lifting techniques onto our dedicated, climate-controlled transport vehicle for maximum stability.
Step 4: Safe Transit Across Melbourne
With your piano securely loaded and safely stowed, the journey begins. Our professional drivers navigate Melbourne’s roads with precision, respecting all traffic regulations and safety protocols. Moreover, the vehicle is equipped to minimise vibration and sudden movements that could affect the piano’s delicate internal mechanisms or finish. Throughout the transit, we maintain focus on maintaining the stable conditions established during the secure loading process.
Step 5: Careful Onsite Placement and Final Checks
Upon arrival at your new Melbourne destination, our team reverses the loading process with the same level of meticulous care. We expertly position the piano exactly where you desire, taking into consideration room orientation and floor protection. Consequently, after uncrating (if applicable) and removing protective wrappings, a final inspection is performed collaboratively with you to confirm that every aspect of the relocation meets our high standards and your complete satisfaction.
