Piano moving in Budapest: why is it different?

Within Budapest, piano moving is not only a question of distance: the narrow, winding staircases of turn-of-the-century apartment buildings in the inner districts and the steep driveways of houses on the Buda hillsides require different preparation than a lift in a housing estate. That is why we discuss the site with you before every job.

Typical Budapest locations

• Old apartment buildings without a lift: in the inner districts, tall-ceilinged, multi-storey buildings without a lift are common. We charge a per-floor surcharge here; the width and turns of the staircase are decisive.
• Panel buildings: many have a lift, but the cabin may be small, so it is worth agreeing its dimensions in advance.
• Family houses and villas: on the Buda side, garden steps or steep driveways are common; it helps to show them in a photo.
• Schools, music schools, restaurants and event venues: we also move instruments for companies and institutions.

Timing and parking

We work seven days a week, including weekends and public holidays. In the city centre, parking and access can affect how the job goes, so for tricky locations we agree on the details in advance.
