Trust Us To Bring Your Piano Back To Life Following An Accident
A piano is more than just furniture; it has a unique voice and personality that a pianist learns to understand—it's like a friend. Losing this connection would be a tragedy, as a new piano could never replace the original.
Many pianos are family heirlooms, linking generations. Restoring a damaged piano is crucial to preserving these cherished memories. Fortunately, our dedicated team at 1066 Pianos has successfully rescued countless instruments deemed beyond saving, demonstrating our commitment to reviving these treasures.
To prevent further damage, arrange for the collection of your piano. Our expert craftsmen in Cambridge will provide a thorough assessment within a week, including a detailed report for insurance. Ensure your insurance policy accurately reflects the true value of your piano, as it should often be listed separately from standard household items due to its higher worth.
How We Treat Flood Damage
At 1066, we have specialised kilns for slowly drying water-damaged instruments, minimising damage and ensuring rebuildability. We carefully measure humidity levels and only begin work when they are appropriate, preventing ongoing issues. Our experience and attention to detail lead to successful outcomes every time.
When assessing water damage to a piano, the key question is its extent. Has the piano been submerged or just exposed to a damp environment? Swift action is crucial in either scenario.
If the piano has been submerged or soaked, immediate specialist attention is required. This typically starts with controlled kilning to stabilise the instrument and limit damage from fluctuating humidity. We also use drying facilities with infrared technology for deeper drying.

Our Fire Damage Restoration Process
Your piano may have escaped unscathed from the flames, but it's worth keeping in mind that smoke may have been absorbed in the wood, felts and finish (stains to the polish). To address this, we’ve developed a specialised de-fumigation and deep-cleaning process that removes lingering odours without compromising the piano’s delicate components.
It’s essential to treat and service a piano with a history of smoke or fire damage to ensure these traces are completely erased. With our care, your piano can return to your home exactly as you remember it, to help you forget the memory of the disaster.
