Overview
Furniture disposal in Catford SE6, explained
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Catford, furniture disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 62% of Catford's 6,981 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE6 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How furniture disposal works in Catford
Five steps, the same on every SE6 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Catford stock goes, which is what a 62% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Catford actually produces 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 Catford customers book us
What follows is specific to Catford: its walls, its access and the paperwork Lewisham agents ask for.
Booked around your day
Same-week slots across every borough, with next-day cover common on single items and mattresses. Catford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Catford walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — the pattern behind 6,981 households inside the SE6 neighbourhood in SE6, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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.
Fixed prices
Furniture disposal prices in Catford
Fixed prices for SE6 and the rest of Lewisham. 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 Catford
The same scope across SE6, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE6 jobs: two crew who carry and load, including stairs and walk-ups, at no stairs surcharge, agreed on the doorstep in Catford before anything is unpacked
- In Catford: dismantling wardrobes, bed frames and tables in the room where access requires it, timed against the walk in from Catford (Southeastern)
- Reusable furniture offered to London reuse partners before anything is tipped, noted on the Catford job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, allowing for the 33% of SE6 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On SE6 jobs: floors and hallway protected, and the space swept before we leave, furniture disposal included
Not included
- Fly-tipped items on land you do not own or control, outside the fixed price on Catford bookings
- Asbestos-backed panels, paint, solvents and gas bottles, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE6
- Piano and safe removal, which needs specialist lifting equipment, which we refer on to the right trade in Catford
- Storage — we collect for disposal or reuse, not for holding, handled by London Borough of Lewisham 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 →

Catford SE6 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Catford — the numbers that actually change a furniture disposal quote.
Walk Catford from The Catford Cat outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 62% of the 6,981 households in SE6 live in flats, 38% in houses.
Private renting sits at 33% and owner-occupation at 42%; the first group books furniture disposal at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — the pattern behind 6,981 households inside the SE6 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Catford is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Anyone who knows Catford knows the pattern near The Catford Cat: the fibreglass cat, the Broadway theatre and the Rushey Green shops. We plan the SE6 visit around it. Catford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: south Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind. Catford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, 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 Catford SE6 — your questions.
How much does furniture disposal cost in Catford SE6?
Single item (armchair, chest of drawers, table) starts at £45 in Catford in this 62% flats neighbourhood, with 33% of SE6 homes being privately rented — and 6,981 households on this patch, 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 Lewisham, with The Catford Cat a few streets away.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Catford SE6?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions around Catford (Southeastern), with 33% of SE6 homes being privately rented. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Catford most weeks, with this being a short walk from Catford (Southeastern).
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Catford?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on Lewisham bookings, with this being a short walk from Catford (Southeastern).
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Catford doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Lewisham bookings. With 62% of Catford homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in Catford — and this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, with 25% social-rented stock nearby, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Is same-day or evening furniture disposal available in Lewisham?
Same-week slots across every borough, with next-day cover common on single items and mattresses in this 62% flats neighbourhood. Catford sits close to Catford (Southeastern), with 62% of homes here being flats, so we can usually add a SE6 job to an existing Lewisham round at short notice on this side of Lewisham.
Do you handle difficult access in Catford?
South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind on the Catford rounds. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Lewisham it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards for Catford (SE6) addresses — and 42% owner-occupation locally, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
Are your fitters insured for work in SE6?
Registered waste carrier. Upholstered items are separated for the POPs waste stream, mattresses are shredded at a licensed facility for Catford (SE6) addresses, with this being a short walk from Catford (Southeastern) — and 33% of SE6 homes being privately rented, and every collection leaves with a transfer note in your name. That paperwork is what most Lewisham letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat in Catford, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
