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. Wide estate roads with parking bays, but gated developments need codes and lift slots.

How it works
How furniture disposal works in Surrey Quays
Five steps, the same on every SE16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Surrey Quays stock goes, and with 41% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 Surrey Quays customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE16 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Same-week slots across every borough, with next-day cover common on single items and mattresses. Surrey Quays (Overground) is the nearest station, so a SE16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Surrey Quays walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Surrey Quays, with metal stud partitions between rooms — measured on the walk in from Surrey Quays (Overground) rather than assumed from a map in SE16, 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 — with 24% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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 Surrey Quays
Fixed prices for SE16 and the rest of Southwark. 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 Surrey Quays
The same scope across SE16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE16 jobs: two crew who carry and load, including stairs and walk-ups, at no stairs surcharge, with 76% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Surrey Quays: dismantling wardrobes, bed frames and tables in the room where access requires it, the way it is done on Surrey Quays jobs
- Reusable furniture offered to London reuse partners before anything is tipped — including furniture disposal
- Standard on Southwark bookings: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, arranged with London Borough of Southwark where the kerb needs it
- On SE16 jobs: floors and hallway protected, and the space swept before we leave, furniture disposal prices included
Not included
- Fly-tipped items on land you do not own or control, and we will say so before the SE16 visit rather than on the day
- Asbestos-backed panels, paint, solvents and gas bottles, outside the fixed price on Surrey Quays bookings
- Piano and safe removal, which needs specialist lifting equipment, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE16
- Storage — we collect for disposal or reuse, not for holding, which we refer on to the right trade in Surrey Quays

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 →

Surrey Quays SE16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Surrey Quays — the numbers that actually change a furniture disposal quote.
Walk Surrey Quays from Greenland Dock outwards and the recent new-build pattern is obvious: 76% of the 4,588 households in SE16 live in flats, 22% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 36% in Surrey Quays, so alongside the 41% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Surrey Quays, with metal stud partitions between rooms — measured on the walk in from Surrey Quays (Overground) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Surrey Quays 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 — with 24% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Anyone who knows Surrey Quays knows the pattern near Greenland Dock: retail park, Greenland Dock moorings and quiet dockland streets. We plan the SE16 visit around it. Surrey Quays sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, wide estate roads with parking bays, but gated developments need codes and lift slots — 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 Surrey Quays (Overground).

Common questions
Furniture disposal in Surrey Quays SE16 — your questions.
How much does furniture disposal cost in Surrey Quays SE16?
Single item (armchair, chest of drawers, table) starts at £45 in Surrey Quays in this 76% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory — and a median age of 33 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 for Surrey Quays (SE16) addresses, with 41% of SE16 homes being privately rented.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Surrey Quays SE16?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in Surrey Quays, with 24% social-rented stock nearby. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Surrey Quays most weeks for Surrey Quays (SE16) addresses, with 22% of Surrey Quays homes being houses.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Surrey Quays?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for Surrey Quays (SE16) addresses, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Surrey Quays doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in this 76% flats neighbourhood. With 76% of Surrey Quays homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Southwark bookings, with Southwark parking rules in play — and 36% owner-occupation locally, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Who books furniture disposal in Surrey Quays SE16 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 41% of Surrey Quays privately rented and 36% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE16 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the Surrey Quays rounds — and 22% of Surrey Quays homes being houses, with 24% social-rented stock nearby.
How quickly can you reach Surrey Quays from your Southwark round?
Greenland Dock is the marker we route to, with this being a short walk from Surrey Quays (Overground), and wide estate roads with parking bays in this 76% flats neighbourhood, but gated developments need codes and lift slots. A SE16 slot added to an existing Southwark round usually lands the same week rather than the next around Surrey Quays (Overground), with 36% owner-occupation locally.
Is same-day or evening furniture disposal available in Southwark?
Same-week slots across every borough, with next-day cover common on single items and mattresses on the streets near Greenland Dock. Surrey Quays sits close to Surrey Quays (Overground) for Surrey Quays (SE16) addresses, with 76% of homes here being flats, so we can usually add a SE16 job to an existing Southwark round at short notice.
