Overview
Furniture disposal in Custom House E16, explained
Furniture disposal in Custom House E16 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Newham, most of them post-war. 3,330 households sit inside this E16 patch, 50% of them flats, so we quote on access near Custom House station and Victoria Dock rather than a London average.
How it works
How furniture disposal works in Custom House
Five steps, the same on every E16 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 Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) 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 Custom House customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Custom House wall.
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. Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts.
Booked around your day
Same-week slots across every borough, with next-day cover common on single items and mattresses. Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, so a E16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Custom House walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, the reality on the streets around Custom House station and Victoria Dock in E16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Custom House gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 50% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Custom House actually produces.
Fixed prices
Furniture disposal prices in Custom House
Fixed prices for E16 and the rest of Newham. 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 Custom House
The same scope across E16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Newham bookings: two crew who carry and load, including stairs and walk-ups, at no stairs surcharge, with 3,330 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 E16 visit
- In Custom House: reusable furniture offered to London reuse partners before anything is tipped, sized for the construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts
- On E16 jobs: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, furniture disposal prices included
- Standard on Newham bookings: floors and hallway protected, and the space swept before we leave, allowing for the 24% of E16 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, handled by London Borough of Newham or a specialist contractor instead
- Asbestos-backed panels, paint, solvents and gas bottles, which we refer on to the right trade in Custom House
- Piano and safe removal, which needs specialist lifting equipment, outside the fixed price on Custom House bookings
- Storage — we collect for disposal or reuse, not for holding, and we will say so before the E16 visit rather than on the day

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 →

Custom House E16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Custom House — the numbers that actually change a furniture disposal quote.
3,330 households sit inside the E16 neighbourhood covering Custom House. The build is post-war, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 50% of those homes are flats.
Because 24% of Custom House is privately rented and 49% socially rented, a lot of E16 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, the reality on the streets around Custom House station and Victoria Dock behind the plaster in E16. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Custom House gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, which is what a 50% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Custom House actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
Regeneration streets between the docks and Canning Town, transformed by the Elizabeth line. That character decides the practical detail of furniture disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Custom House is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts — 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 Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR).

Item count, the floor it is on and whether it must be dismantled set the price — not the weight in this 50% flats neighbourhood, with 49% social-rented stock nearby.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Custom House E16?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in this 50% flats neighbourhood, with 26% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Custom House most weeks for Custom House (E16) addresses, with this being a short walk from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR).
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Custom House?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on E16 jobs, with this being a short walk from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR).
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Custom House doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in across E16. With 50% of Custom House homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the streets near Custom House station and Victoria Dock, with Custom House station and Victoria Dock a few streets away — and 24% of E16 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
How quickly can you reach Custom House from your Newham round?
Custom House station and Victoria Dock is the marker we route to on this side of Newham, with 49% social-rented stock nearby, and construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. A E16 slot added to an existing Newham round usually lands the same week rather than the next in this 50% flats neighbourhood, with 50% of Custom House homes being houses.
Is same-day or evening furniture disposal available in Newham?
Same-week slots across every borough, with next-day cover common on single items and mattresses in Custom House. Custom House sits close to Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) around Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR), with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood — and 24% of E16 homes being privately rented, so we can usually add a E16 job to an existing Newham round at short notice.
Do you handle difficult access in Custom House?
Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts in this 50% flats neighbourhood. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Newham it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on Newham bookings — and 26% owner-occupation locally, with this being London Borough of Newham territory. With 50% of homes in Custom House being flats, we plan the route up front.
