Sticking key
£20 · added to the tune
Usually damp, a swollen bushing or something dropped down the back. Often sorted while the front is off.
REPAIRS
Same visit. Only if it fits the run.
Minor work at the house
Added to the tune when the stop allows
Most small faults show themselves once the front comes off. Book a tuning on your run and tell me what the piano is doing; I’ll look while I’m there. If you only want the fault looked at, send the form below first.
Tap a repair to add it to your booking. The price joins the tune on your docket. If it turns out to need parts or more time than the visit holds, I explain the next step before anything is agreed.
Broken string
£35 · added to the tune
One string, matched and fitted. It will need a second tune once it settles.
Squeaky / loose pedal
£25 · added to the tune
Squeaks, knocks and wobbling pedals. Mostly a screw, a spring or felt that has given up.
Tight centre pin / sluggish action
£30 · added to the tune
Hammers slow to return, notes that won’t repeat. Usually a tight pin, eased where it sits.
Cracked ivory / fallen keytop
£15 · added to the tune
A lifted or cracked top glued back down. The ivory is not replaced, only kept.
“Key & Mile is a mobile service, not a restoration workshop. If the piano needs specialist rebuilding, transport or extensive parts, Martin will say so plainly rather than pretending it fits into a tuning visit.”
