Overview
Furniture disposal in Battersea SW11, explained
This page prices furniture disposal for Battersea SW11 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 33% privately rented and 6,832 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Wandsworth permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How furniture disposal works in Battersea
Five steps, the same on every SW11 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Battersea stock goes, where 38% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year 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 Battersea customers book us
Four things decide whether a SW11 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. Battersea Power Station (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SW11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Battersea walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SW11, 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 — the pattern behind 6,832 households inside the SW11 neighbourhood.
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 Battersea
Fixed prices for SW11 and the rest of Wandsworth. 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 Battersea
The same scope across SW11, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SW11 jobs: two crew who carry and load, including stairs and walk-ups, at no stairs surcharge, agreed on the doorstep in Battersea before anything is unpacked
- In Battersea: dismantling wardrobes, bed frames and tables in the room where access requires it, timed against the walk in from Battersea Power Station (Northern)
- Reusable furniture offered to London reuse partners before anything is tipped, noted on the Battersea job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Wandsworth bookings: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, allowing for the 33% of SW11 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On SW11 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, which we refer on to the right trade in Battersea
- Asbestos-backed panels, paint, solvents and gas bottles, handled by London Borough of Wandsworth or a specialist contractor instead
- Piano and safe removal, which needs specialist lifting equipment, and we will say so before the SW11 visit rather than on the day
- Storage — we collect for disposal or reuse, not for holding, outside the fixed price on Battersea 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.

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 →

Battersea SW11 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Battersea — the numbers that actually change a furniture disposal quote.
Walk Battersea from Battersea Power Station outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 87% of the 6,832 households in SW11 live in flats, 13% in houses.
33% of households rent privately and 38% own, which is why furniture disposal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Battersea substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — the pattern behind 6,832 households inside the SW11 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a SW11 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Battersea knows the pattern near Battersea Power Station: the rebuilt power station, riverside towers and Victorian streets around the park. We plan the SW11 visit around it. Battersea is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Estate loading docks booked in advance, Nine Elms construction diversions and tight terraced streets. Nearest station is Battersea Power Station (Northern), 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 Battersea SW11 — your questions.
How much does furniture disposal cost in Battersea SW11?
Single item (armchair, chest of drawers, table) starts at £45 in Battersea on SW11 jobs, with Wandsworth parking rules in play — and 38% owner-occupation locally, 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 the Battersea rounds, with 13% of Battersea homes being houses.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Battersea SW11?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in this 87% flats neighbourhood, with 87% of homes here being flats. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Battersea most weeks on Wandsworth bookings, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Battersea?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the streets near Battersea Power Station, with 87% of homes here being flats.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Battersea doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in around Battersea Power Station (Northern). With 87% of Battersea homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in Battersea, with 38% owner-occupation locally — and 33% of SW11 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Are your fitters insured for work in SW11?
Registered waste carrier. Upholstered items are separated for the POPs waste stream, mattresses are shredded at a licensed facility on this side of Wandsworth — and 13% of Battersea homes being houses, with Wandsworth parking rules in play, and every collection leaves with a transfer note in your name. That paperwork is what most Wandsworth letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat in Battersea, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
What is not included in furniture disposal in Battersea?
Fly-tipped items on land you do not own or control; Asbestos-backed panels, paint, solvents and gas bottles; Piano and safe removal around Battersea Power Station (Northern), with 28% social-rented stock nearby, which needs specialist lifting equipment; Storage — we collect for disposal or reuse, not for holding. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Battersea SW11 price you agree is the price you pay in Battersea, with 13% of Battersea homes being houses.
Who books furniture disposal in Battersea SW11 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 33% of Battersea privately rented and 38% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW11 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of Wandsworth — and Battersea Power Station a few streets away, with 33% of SW11 homes being privately rented.
