Overview
Furniture disposal in Old Street EC1V, explained
This page prices furniture disposal for Old Street EC1V specifically: post-war stock, 28% privately rented and 4,949 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Islington permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How furniture disposal works in Old Street
Five steps, the same on every EC1V job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — measured on the walk in from Old Street (Northern, Great Northern) rather than assumed from a map 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 Old Street customers book us
What follows is specific to Old Street: its walls, its access and the paperwork Islington agents ask for.
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. Red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards.
Booked around your day
Same-week slots across every borough, with next-day cover common on single items and mattresses. Old Street (Northern, Great Northern) is the nearest station, so a EC1V visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Old Street walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, the reality on the streets around Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground in EC1V, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Old Street gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
Furniture disposal prices in Old Street
Fixed prices for EC1V and the rest of Islington. 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 Old Street
The same scope across EC1V, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Islington bookings: two crew who carry and load, including stairs and walk-ups, at no stairs surcharge, allowing for the 28% of EC1V homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Dismantling wardrobes, bed frames and tables in the room where access requires it, noted on the Old Street job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Old Street: reusable furniture offered to London reuse partners before anything is tipped, timed against the walk in from Old Street (Northern, Great Northern)
- On EC1V jobs: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, agreed on the doorstep in Old Street before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Islington bookings: floors and hallway protected, and the space swept before we leave, arranged with London Borough of Islington where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Fly-tipped items on land you do not own or control, outside the fixed price on Old Street bookings
- Asbestos-backed panels, paint, solvents and gas bottles, and we will say so before the EC1V visit rather than on the day
- Piano and safe removal, which needs specialist lifting equipment, which we refer on to the right trade in Old Street
- Storage — we collect for disposal or reuse, not for holding, quoted separately if you need it arranged in EC1V

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 →

Old Street EC1V at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Old Street — the numbers that actually change a furniture disposal quote.
Old Street EC1V is post-war and social-housing-led: 98% of homes here are flats and 2% are houses, across 4,949 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 28% private renting against 19% owner-occupied, most EC1V bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, the reality on the streets around Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground, so the fixing that matters in Old Street is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Old Street gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
The roundabout, tech offices and warehouse conversions on the City fringe. That character decides the practical detail of furniture disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Old Street sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards. Nearest station is Old Street (Northern, Great Northern), and two crew and a Luton van; three where a wardrobe or corner sofa has to come down a shared stairwell.

Common questions
Furniture disposal in Old Street EC1V — your questions.
How much does furniture disposal cost in Old Street EC1V?
Single item (armchair, chest of drawers, table) starts at £45 in Old Street on this side of Islington, with 4,949 households on this patch — and a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, 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 EC1V jobs, with 39% one-person households here.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Old Street EC1V?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on EC1V jobs, with this being London Borough of Islington territory. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Old Street most weeks on the Old Street rounds, with 98% of homes here being flats.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Old Street?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on Islington bookings, with 98% of homes here being flats. On Old Street jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Old Street doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Islington bookings. With 98% of Old Street homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 98% flats neighbourhood — and 19% owner-occupation locally, with 39% one-person households here, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
What is not included in furniture disposal in Old Street?
Fly-tipped items on land you do not own or control; Asbestos-backed panels, paint, solvents and gas bottles; Piano and safe removal on this side of Islington — and 28% of EC1V homes being privately rented, with 39% one-person households here, which needs specialist lifting equipment; Storage — we collect for disposal or reuse, not for holding. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Old Street EC1V price you agree is the price you pay in this 98% flats neighbourhood, with Islington parking rules in play.
Who books furniture disposal in Old Street EC1V — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 28% of Old Street privately rented and 19% owner-occupied, roughly half the EC1V diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across EC1V — and 19% owner-occupation locally, with 39% one-person households here.
How quickly can you reach Old Street from your Islington round?
Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground is the marker we route to on EC1V jobs, with 2% of Old Street homes being houses — and a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, and red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards. A EC1V slot added to an existing Islington round usually lands the same week rather than the next on the streets near Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground, with Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground a few streets away.
