Furniture disposal in Plumstead SE18, explained

How it works
How furniture disposal works in Plumstead
Five steps, the same on every SE18 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SE18, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — and with 27% one-person households in Plumstead, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Send a photo
One photo of the item and your postcode is normally enough for a fixed price.
Step 2
Book the slot
Timed to your delivery window so the old piece leaves before the new one arrives.
Step 3
Protect the route
Hallway and lift lobby sheeted; concierge and loading bay booked where the block requires it.
Step 4
Dismantle and carry
Taken apart in the room if it will not clear the door, then carried out by two crew.
Step 5
Reuse, recycle, receipt
Usable furniture to a reuse partner, the rest separated, transfer note handed over.
Why choose us
Why Plumstead customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE18 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Plumstead walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in SE18, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Plumstead stock goes, with 27% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Insured and documented
Registered waste carrier. Upholstered items are separated for the POPs waste stream, mattresses are shredded at a licensed facility, and every collection leaves with a transfer note in your name.
Crew sized to the job
Two crew and a Luton van; three where a wardrobe or corner sofa has to come down a shared stairwell. Very steep hills, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the station.
Fixed prices
Furniture disposal prices in Plumstead
Fixed prices for SE18 and the rest of Greenwich. Item count, the floor it is on and whether it must be dismantled set the price — not the weight.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single item (armchair, chest of drawers, table) | £45 | 20–40 min | Priced per item because most London calls are one piece being replaced on a delivery day, not a whole room. |
| Two- or three-seat sofa | £75 | 30–60 min | Two crew as standard: London sofas usually come out of a first-floor flat or need the feet off before the front door. |
| Mattress and divan base | £65 | 30 min | Mattresses are shredded at a dedicated facility rather than tipped, and that gate fee is charged per unit. |
| Bedroom or living-room set (quarter load) | £120 | 1–2 hrs | Wardrobe, bed frame and drawers together, dismantled on site where the stairwell will not take them whole. |
| Full flat refurnish clear-out (half load) | £210 | 2–3 hrs | Old furniture out ahead of a delivery slot, timed around the building's booked lift or loading bay. |

Scope
What's included in Plumstead
The same scope across SE18, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Plumstead: two crew who carry and load, including stairs and walk-ups, at no stairs surcharge, sized for the very steep hills, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the station
- On SE18 jobs: dismantling wardrobes, bed frames and tables in the room where access requires it, furniture disposal prices included
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: reusable furniture offered to London reuse partners before anything is tipped, with 9,964 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, checked on every SE18 visit
- In Plumstead: floors and hallway protected, and the space swept before we leave, the way it is done on Plumstead jobs
Not included
- Fly-tipped items on land you do not own or control, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE18
- Asbestos-backed panels, paint, solvents and gas bottles, outside the fixed price on Plumstead bookings
- Piano and safe removal, which needs specialist lifting equipment, and we will say so before the SE18 visit rather than on the day
- Storage — we collect for disposal or reuse, not for holding, handled by Royal Borough of Greenwich or a specialist contractor instead

Thankyou to Nicole and Marius and colleagues for a superb clean of our family home. It was done under difficult circumstances with removal people still emptying the property of furniture and boxes around them as we were moving out after nearly 40 years.

I booked the services for putting together some new bedroom furniture. This was agreed for 3 pm. I got a call at 3pm to say they were going to be late and be there at 5, they arrived at 5:30. The workmanship and the guys who fitted it was excellent and they were very friendly… Read in full →

Working in Plumstead
Plumstead SE18 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Plumstead — the numbers that actually change a furniture disposal quote.
9,964 households sit inside the SE18 neighbourhood covering Plumstead. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 33% of those homes are flats.
Because 32% of Plumstead is privately rented and 27% socially rented, a lot of SE18 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in SE18. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Plumstead stock goes, with 27% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the fault we are called back to undo.
Plumstead is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — terraced streets climbing steeply from the high street to the common — which is why a SE18 quote is not a Greenwich average.
On access, very steep hills, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the station — one reason two crew and a Luton van; three where a wardrobe or corner sofa has to come down a shared stairwell. Fitters travelling in use Plumstead (Elizabeth line).

Common questions
Furniture disposal in Plumstead SE18 — your questions.
How much does furniture disposal cost in Plumstead SE18?
Single item (armchair, chest of drawers, table) starts at £45 in Plumstead — and this being a short walk from Plumstead (Elizabeth line), with 27% social-rented stock nearby, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Item count, the floor it is on and whether it must be dismantled set the price — not the weight on this side of Greenwich, with 27% one-person households here.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Plumstead SE18?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Greenwich, with 67% of Plumstead homes being houses. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Plumstead most weeks, with 27% social-rented stock nearby.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Plumstead?
In Plumstead, 5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on Greenwich bookings, with Greenwich parking rules in play. That covers furniture disposal on Plumstead jobs too.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Plumstead doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near Plumstead Common. With 33% of Plumstead homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Plumstead (SE18) addresses, with 32% of SE18 homes being privately rented — and this being a short walk from Plumstead (Elizabeth line), so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
What is not included in furniture disposal in Plumstead?
Fly-tipped items on land you do not own or control; Asbestos-backed panels, paint, solvents and gas bottles; Piano and safe removal for Plumstead (SE18) addresses — and this being a short walk from Plumstead (Elizabeth line), with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, which needs specialist lifting equipment; Storage — we collect for disposal or reuse, not for holding. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Plumstead SE18 price you agree is the price you pay in this 33% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood.
Who books furniture disposal in Plumstead SE18 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 32% of Plumstead privately rented and 41% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE18 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across SE18 — and this being a short walk from Plumstead (Elizabeth line), with 32% of SE18 homes being privately rented.
How quickly can you reach Plumstead from your Greenwich round?
Plumstead Common is the marker we route to in Plumstead, with 9,964 households on this patch, and very steep hills, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the station. A SE18 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next for Plumstead (SE18) addresses, with 27% one-person households here.
