Overview
Furniture disposal in New Cross SE14, explained
Furniture disposal in New Cross SE14 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Lewisham, most of them mainly Victorian. 11,771 households sit inside this SE14 patch, 73% of them flats, so we quote on access near Goldsmiths, University of London rather than a London average.
How it works
How furniture disposal works in New Cross
Five steps, the same on every SE14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — the pattern behind 11,771 households inside the SE14 neighbourhood 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 New Cross customers book us
What follows is specific to New Cross: 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. September student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets.
Booked around your day
Same-week slots across every borough, with next-day cover common on single items and mattresses. New Cross (Overground, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
New Cross walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in New Cross, often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SE14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is New Cross 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 New Cross
Fixed prices for SE14 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 New Cross
The same scope across SE14, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: two crew who carry and load, including stairs and walk-ups, at no stairs surcharge, with 11,771 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Dismantling wardrobes, bed frames and tables in the room where access requires it, checked on every SE14 visit
- In New Cross: reusable furniture offered to London reuse partners before anything is tipped, sized for the september student turnover, new cross road red route and narrow permit-only streets
- On SE14 jobs: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, furniture disposal included
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: floors and hallway protected, and the space swept before we leave, allowing for the 34% of SE14 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Fly-tipped items on land you do not own or control, which we refer on to the right trade in New Cross
- Asbestos-backed panels, paint, solvents and gas bottles, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE14
- Piano and safe removal, which needs specialist lifting equipment, and we will say so before the SE14 visit rather than on the day
- 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 →

New Cross substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in New Cross, often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because New Cross 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 is the mistake that costs a SE14 customer twice.
Goldsmiths' campus, the Venue and student-heavy Victorian streets. That character decides the practical detail of furniture disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. New Cross is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, september student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets — 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 New Cross (Overground, Southeastern).

Item count, the floor it is on and whether it must be dismantled set the price — not the weight across SE14, with 11,771 households on this patch.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in New Cross SE14?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions around New Cross (Overground, Southeastern), with Goldsmiths, University of London a few streets away. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in New Cross most weeks on SE14 jobs, with 27% of New Cross homes being houses.

5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around New Cross (Overground, Southeastern), with 34% of SE14 homes being privately rented.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a New Cross doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the New Cross rounds. With 73% of New Cross homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Lewisham bookings, with 36% social-rented stock nearby — and 34% of SE14 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
How quickly can you reach New Cross from your Lewisham round?
Goldsmiths, University of London is the marker we route to on SE14 jobs, with this being a short walk from New Cross (Overground, Southeastern), and september student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets. A SE14 slot added to an existing Lewisham round usually lands the same week rather than the next around New Cross (Overground, Southeastern), with 30% owner-occupation locally.
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 on SE14 jobs.

Do you handle difficult access in New Cross?
September student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets on the streets near Goldsmiths, University of London. 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 on Lewisham bookings — and this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, with 11,771 households on this patch.
