How it works
Step 1
A photo of each item and which room or floor it is on is enough for a fixed per-item price.
Step 2
The price covers carrying the item out of the property; you never have to move it yourself.
Step 3
Next-day is standard; same-day is available for two or more items booked before mid-morning.
Step 4
Sound furniture is assessed for reuse before it is loaded as waste, which is often the fastest way to move it on anyway.
Step 5
Emailed the same day, whichever route the item took.
Why choose us
Next-day across every borough, with same-day slots for two or more items booked before mid-morning. Colliers Wood (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SW19 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in SW19, with solid brick on the party and external walls, measured on the walk in from Colliers Wood (Northern) rather than assumed from a map in SW19, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in SW19, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, and with 44% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Registered waste carrier issuing a transfer note for every collection; items suitable for reuse are logged and passed to a London reuse partner with a receipt rather than tipped.
One or two crew depending on the item — a sofa or mattress needs two people on a London staircase regardless of how light the piece is. High Street red route, riverside estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sofa or armchair | £50 | 20–30 min | Priced per item because a single sofa does not need a full van booked against it. |
| Bed frame and mattress | £55 | 20–30 min | Covers dismantling a divan or frame and carrying the mattress separately, since the two are usually collected together. |
| Wardrobe or set of drawers | £45 | 20–30 min | Most flat-pack wardrobes have to be part-dismantled to clear a stairwell, which is why this sits above a loose item. |
| Dining table and up to 4 chairs | £60 | 30 min | Table legs are usually unscrewed to get the piece down a narrow London staircase. |
| Second item on the same visit | £30 each | Added to visit | One call-out, one carry route surveyed — each extra piece only adds the carrying time, not a second job. |
| Same-day booking (2+ items) | £90 | Within hours | A fixed same-day rate for two or more bulky items, cheaper per item than booking two single collections. |

Domestic prices are the total you pay. Landlord and letting-agent invoices are quoted plus VAT at 20%.

The cleaners Constantin and arrived in time and never stopped until the work was completed to the best of their ability. I would recommend a more upgraded carpet cleaner as I was hoping for a hot steam cleaner to penetrate areas or heavy foot traffic on the carpet. They never gave up until the look… Read in full →
