The item is only half the assessment
Weight and dimensions matter, but so do door widths, steps, landings, lift capacity, floor protection and the truck approach. Photos should show the full path at pickup and delivery.
Specialist handling
Extra planning and controlled handling for pianos, marble and stone tables, safes and other demanding pieces.
Quick answer
Pianos, marble, stone, glass, safes and unusually heavy furniture need an item-and-access assessment before booking. NextWave uses measurements and photos to plan the crew, equipment, wrapping and safe carry path.

Some pieces need extra people, specialist equipment or a different vehicle position. We explain those requirements before the move instead of adding an unassessed heavy item to an ordinary household plan.
What we can plan
Every quote starts with the route, timing, access and what needs moving. That information helps us assess vehicle space, equipment and labour without pretending two different moves are the same.
Before requesting a quote
Good information upfront reduces avoidable surprises later.
Send the item dimensions, approximate weight if known and clear photos.
Photograph steps, tight turns, doorways and both access paths.
Do not assume a heavy item can be included in a standard quote without assessment.
Route, access, timing and inventory.
Vehicle, equipment, handling and labour.
Using the confirmed plan and scope.
Common questions
Direct answers to the details customers usually need before requesting a quote.
Yes, subject to the piano dimensions, approximate weight and safe access at both properties. Send clear photos of the piano, steps, turns and entrances.
We assess stone furniture individually because top construction, weight, base removal and access affect the handling plan.
That depends on the item, stair width, turns, structure and safe handling method. A stair move cannot be assumed until the measurements and photos are reviewed.
