Overview
Furniture disposal in Lewisham SE13, explained
This page prices furniture disposal for Lewisham SE13 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 33% privately rented and 3,987 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Lewisham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How furniture disposal works in Lewisham
Five steps, the same on every SE13 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 Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern) 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 Lewisham customers book us
What follows is specific to Lewisham: its walls, its access and the paperwork Lewisham 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. Roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers.
Booked around your day
Same-week slots across every borough, with next-day cover common on single items and mattresses. Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE13 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Lewisham walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Lewisham, often with surface conduit, the reality on the streets around Lewisham Market on the High Street in SE13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Lewisham gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 75% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Lewisham actually produces.
Fixed prices
Furniture disposal prices in Lewisham
Fixed prices for SE13 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 Lewisham
The same scope across SE13, whether the job is a single item or a full room.

- Dismantling wardrobes, bed frames and tables in the room where access requires it, checked on every SE13 visit

Not included
- Fly-tipped items on land you do not own or control, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE13
- Asbestos-backed panels, paint, solvents and gas bottles, outside the fixed price on Lewisham bookings

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. We were extremely happy with the end result and am sure that… Read in full →

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 Lewisham
Lewisham SE13 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Lewisham — the numbers that actually change a furniture disposal quote.
3,987 households sit inside the SE13 neighbourhood covering Lewisham. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 75% of those homes are flats.
Because 33% of Lewisham is privately rented and 35% socially rented, a lot of SE13 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Lewisham, often with surface conduit, the reality on the streets around Lewisham Market on the High Street behind the plaster in SE13. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Lewisham gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 75% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Lewisham actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
The market, the shopping centre and a cluster of new residential towers. That character decides the practical detail of furniture disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Lewisham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers — 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 Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern).

Common questions
Furniture disposal in Lewisham SE13 — your questions.
How much does furniture disposal cost in Lewisham SE13?
Single item (armchair, chest of drawers, table) starts at £45 in Lewisham, with Lewisham parking rules in play — and 35% 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 for Lewisham (SE13) addresses, with 75% of homes here being flats.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Lewisham SE13?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions for Lewisham (SE13) addresses, with 3,987 households on this patch. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Lewisham most weeks, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Lewisham?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for Lewisham (SE13) addresses, with 36% one-person households here.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Lewisham doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near Lewisham Market on the High Street. With 75% of Lewisham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on SE13 jobs — and 35% social-rented stock nearby, with 75% of homes here being flats, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
What is not included in furniture disposal in Lewisham?
Fly-tipped items on land you do not own or control; Asbestos-backed panels, paint, solvents and gas bottles; Piano and safe removal on the Lewisham rounds — and a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, with Lewisham Market on the High Street a few streets away, which needs specialist lifting equipment; Storage — we collect for disposal or reuse, not for holding. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Lewisham SE13 price you agree is the price you pay for Lewisham (SE13) addresses, with 33% of SE13 homes being privately rented.
Who books furniture disposal in Lewisham SE13 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 33% of Lewisham privately rented and 32% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE13 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Lewisham bookings — and 36% one-person households here, with 75% of homes here being flats.
How quickly can you reach Lewisham from your Lewisham round?
Lewisham Market on the High Street is the marker we route to on this side of Lewisham, with 33% of SE13 homes being privately rented, and roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers. A SE13 slot added to an existing Lewisham round usually lands the same week rather than the next in this 75% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern).
