Specialist Removals London — For the Items That Can't Be Replaced
Whether it’s a grand piano, a family heirloom, or a piece of artwork that’s been in your home for decades — we treat it with the care its value demands.
Specialist removals in London require more than a van and a willing pair of hands. At Ronko Removals & Storage, we’ve built a reputation for moving the items most removal companies won’t touch — or won’t touch properly. From pianos and antiques to large appliances and valuable wine collections, our team brings the right equipment, the right materials, and the right experience to every specialist job. Based in Streatham, we operate across London and South London with the care and precision your most valued possessions deserve.
What Do We Move as a Specialist Item?
Pianos & Grand Pianos
Uprights, baby grands, and full grands all require specialist moving boards, straps, and team co-ordination. We assess access routes in advance so nothing gets forced.
Wine Collections
Temperature-stable transit matters. We pack wine collections in specialist crating, transported carefully to avoid vibration and breakage.
Artwork & Mirrors
Large canvases, framed prints, mirrors, and sculptures are wrapped in acid-free tissue, corner-protected, and transported upright or flat depending on the piece.
Heavy Safes & Cabinets
We have the equipment and the people to move large, heavy safes and cabinets safely — including up and down stairs and through tight corridors.
Antiques & Heirlooms
Items with historical or sentimental value that can't be replaced. We use custom wrapping, corner guards, and padded blankets to protect every surface and edge.
Large Appliances & White Goods
American-style fridge freezers, range cookers, washing machines, and other large appliances require specialist handling and transport.
How Our Specialist Removal Works
Step 1: Tell Us What You're Moving
Get in touch by phone or via our quote form and describe the item or items. The more detail the better — dimensions, weight, access, and destination all help us give you an accurate quote first time.
Step 2: Pre-Move Assessment
For larger or more complex items, we'll carry out an assessment before move day. We look at access routes at both ends, any tight corners or level changes, and what specialist materials or equipment we'll need.
Step 3: Specialist Packing & Protection
On move day, we pack and protect your items using the right materials for the job. We don't rush this step — proper preparation is what prevents damage.
Step 4: Safe Delivery
We move your item carefully, manoeuvre it through whatever the building throws at us, and place it exactly where you want it at the other end. We don't leave until you're satisfied.
Our Approach to Specialist Moves
Detailed Move Assessment
Before we move a single item, we assess. We visit or review access points, doorways, staircases, and delivery routes. If there are obstacles — narrow corridors, awkward angles, tight frames — we plan around them before move day. No surprises, no improvisation.
Specialist Packing Materials
Standard blankets and boxes aren't enough for high-value items. We use custom timber crating where required, acid-free tissue wrap for artwork and antiques, corner guards for mirrors and frames, and purpose-made strapping for pianos and heavy cabinets.
Trained Handling Team
Our team aren't just movers — they're trained in the handling of fragile, heavy, and high-value items. They know how to read a space, communicate during a lift, and take their time when it counts.
Fully Insured
Every specialist removal we carry out is covered. If you have additional insurance requirements for particularly valuable items, let us know when you get in touch — we'll make sure everything is in order before we start.
When Other Companies Said It Couldn't Be Done
A customer recently needed a large fridge-freezer delivered to their home. A major national retailer had attempted the delivery and turned back — they said the access was impossible. The customer called Ronko.
We assessed the route, removed the front door to give us the clearance we needed, carefully navigated tight internal corridors, and where one internal door frame was preventing access, we chiselled it back — precisely and cleanly — to get the appliance through. It was delivered without a single scratch.
That’s not unusual for us. It’s just how we work. When a job is difficult, we plan harder. We don’t give up on a delivery because the access is awkward — we find the way through.

Yes. We move upright pianos, baby grands, and full grand pianos across South London and the wider London area. Piano removal requires specialist equipment — including piano boards, heavy-duty straps, and a trained team — and a pre-move assessment of the access at both ends.
