FAQs
Can you move a baby grand out of a Lancaster first-floor flat?▼
Usually yes with a two- or three-man crew and stair-crawler. Send photos of the hallway, doorways and stair-turn and we'll quote honestly — including if we think it's a full specialist job.
Will the piano stay in tune after the move?▼
Expect it to need retuning after transit. Standard practice is to let it settle 1–2 weeks in the new room, then book a tuner. We don't tune ourselves.
Do you insure a high-value grand?▼
Drivers hold driver goods-in-transit cover normally up to £5,000. For higher values, we can arrange one-off nail-to-nail cover through a broker — please flag at booking.
Are you insured?▼
Yes — up to £5,000 Goods-in-Transit and £1m Public Liability. A current certificate of insurance can be emailed before the first job.
Can I open a business account?▼
Yes. 5-minute application, subject to credit check. Book against a PO, get one consolidated invoice per month, 30-day terms.
How fast can you collect?▼
Urgent collection is typically 60–90 minutes from booking, depending on driver position. Flexi7 covers collection and delivery within seven days and is normally around 30% below the equivalent dedicated service where suitable and available.
