Specialist moving services: pianos, art and office booths
Some things don't fit in a moving box: a piano, a framed painting, a soundproofed phone or meeting booth. Before anyone lifts them, they need measurements, a planned route and the right protective layer.
In short
Paradiso Umzüge provides specialist moving services in Berlin: pianos; artwork in specialist packaging; and soundproofed office, meeting and phone booths, including dismantling and reassembly. For a quote, we need dimensions, photos and details on the floor, stairwell and access at both addresses. If anything is still unclear after that, we do an on-site survey. We tell you the binding final price in the quote, before you commit.
Our specialist moving services
Piano moving
A piano is heavy, top-heavy and often only just fits through the stairwell. Whether the move goes smoothly usually comes down to the stairs, the doors and the carrying route.
- The piano's dimensions, the floor and the narrowest point of the stairs
- Landings, door widths and the lift, if there is one
- Tuning after the move, which is a job for a piano tuner
Art transport
We pack paintings, framed pictures and sculptures in wrapping paper, bubble wrap and boxes and add extra protection with foam and air-cushion packaging. With art, it is less about strength and more about the right protective layer and a steady position in the truck.
- Document each piece's condition with photos beforehand
- Pictures travel upright on their edge, never stacked flat
- Detachable parts such as pedestals are packed and labelled separately
Office, meeting and phone booths
Soundproofed booths are built from heavy wall, glass and ceiling panels. We dismantle office, meeting and phone booths, move them and reassemble them at the new location. Dismantling and reassembly can also be scheduled outside business hours.
- Model, outside dimensions, photos and, ideally, the assembly instructions
- Lift, doors and corridors at the old and the new location
- Power by plug only; hardwired connections are a job for a qualified electrician
What makes delicate items different
- Dimensions and route
- With bulky items, the route decides everything: the stairs at their narrowest point, the free space on each landing, the clear width of the doors and the inside of the lift car. Measure first, and moving day holds no surprises.
- Protection
- Delicate surfaces, corners and glass first get a smooth layer that won't stick and doesn't trap moisture. Padding and a sturdy outer shell go on top of that.
- Handling
- Heavy and top-heavy items are kept as upright as possible and moved without jolts. In the truck, they are placed so they can neither slide nor tip over.
- Placement and set-up
- At the destination, the spot comes first, then the item. Booths go back together in the order of the assembly instructions, a piano needs time and a tuning after the move, and a painting goes up only once the wall and the hanging hardware are right.

Questions about specialist moving services
What do Paradiso Umzüge's specialist moving services include?
This page brings together three services: piano moving, art transport in specialist packaging, and the dismantling, moving and reassembly of office, meeting and phone booths. If you have another delicate or bulky item, describe it in your request.
What information do you need for a quote?
The item's dimensions, photos, the floor, and details about the stairwell, doors and lift at both addresses. For booths, also the model and, ideally, the assembly instructions; for a piano, the narrowest point of the stairs.
Do you come out for an on-site survey first?
Send us the dimensions and photos first. If anything is still unclear after that, such as a very narrow stairwell or a large booth, we do an on-site survey.
Can I combine a specialist move with my home move?
Yes. List the item with its dimensions and floor in your moving request, and we will plan the crew and time for it.
How much do specialist moving services cost?
That depends mainly on the item, the floor, the stairwell, the carrying route and the distance, and for booths also on dismantling and reassembly. We put together a quote from your dimensions and photos, and we tell you the binding final price before you commit.
