If you are considering moving a piano then I recommend hiring a piano mover (unless you’re moving the piano from one room to another on the same floor, have a team with you and really know what you’re doing). I have never hired a piano mover in Sheffield so I’m not sure of the cost or any companies in the local area of South Yorkshire, but piano removals cost me £100 last time I had a second hand piano brought to my house (from one side of Sheffield to another).

Being the fragile things that they are, pianos will go out of tune while they are being moved, so unless you want to sound like you’re playing in a 1870s western salon, then you will have to hire a piano tuner after the piano has been moved. It’s something to keep in mind if you have recently had your piano tuned, perhaps it might be an idea to wait 6 months before moving it!
