Valuable Grand Piano Successfully Moved And Installed On Thames Island

July 21, 2015 - PRLog -- With close to a quarter of a century of service, the only thing which the TFM Removals team has yet to see is the last of complex and difficult home moving challenges. This proved to be the case when the team were contracted to move a concert grade grand piano across London. It was valued at several thousand pounds and needed to be treated with extreme care. To make moving the piano all the more of a challenge, it wasn't just any ordinary address in London it was being moved to - the piano needed to be transported to one of the several islands found running through the middle of the Thames.

For founder Ralph Coleman, the challenge of moving this piano perfectly illustrated what drove him to establish TFM Removals in the early 1990s. In his experience, removals companies were all too eager to tell potential clients what they couldn't offer. For Ralph this was the wrong way around, with his belief being that companies should always work out what they need to do to serve their customers best rather than put limitations on what they were prepared to do. This approach, coupled with the superior service they provide, has seen them trusted to be the removal company to move high value, fragile items, objects and works of art all around the world.

Access to a Thames island, it may well perhaps go without saying, is limited at best. The access links to them were not constructed with a view of ever needing to drive a truck or van onto them. Ralph and the team planned the move carefully, working out the closest they could get to the island with the furniture, items and piano that needed to be moved, in a way that would make for the easiest means of carrying them one by one to the property. As a result, everything was moved quickly and efficiently, without a single item being damaged.

The piano owner was delighted with the work carried out. They had resigned themselves to the fact that some damage might be inevitable, but thanks to the TFM Removals way of doing things there wasn't a single mark or blemish on it. Best of all, as the removals team got to hear, the grand piano was placed and in perfect enough tuning for them to enjoy a song when the move was done. The owner was happy to be quoted as saying "I really couldn’t recommend them highly enough … I’d trust TFM to move me to Outer Mongolia with the grand piano.".

Moving home is seldom as simple as moving from A to B in a straight line. Anyone who has ever tried to do so alone will, in most cases, testify that the main thing which they learned from the experience is to call in the professionals next time. From their removals and storage base in Essex, time and again TFM Removals have proven to be the best of the professionals. They operate across the UK, arranging perfect removals, packing and shipping anywhere from across the street to across to the other side of the world.
