Sofa Removal & Sofa Collection

All of the sofas and settees we collect are removed under a Waste Transfer Note. We provide these in a digital format which is sent immediately upon signing of the job. As well as emailing you a copy, we retain them on our system for a minimum of two years, should you ever be called upon to produce it in the future.

Out of the 125,000 jobs we complete annually, thousands of these include sofa collection and recycling. As the UK’s largest in-house rubbish clearance company, we are very experienced when it comes to removing and recycling your sofas.

We recycle over 95% of all the waste we remove. Our sofa recycling scheme ensures used sofas are taken to local Waste Transfer Stations designed to process the items we are transporting. In many parts of the country we can guarantee 100% landfill diversion, which includes most major towns and cities.

We collect sofas from inside or outside the property. We can also remove a sofa from upstairs as long as it is safe to do so. We send a two-person team who will carefully carry the sofas out of your property and into the vehicle.

As long as it is safe to do so and will not cause damage to your property, we are able to deconstruct a sofa before removing it from the property. We are not able to remove a door from its frame or lower the sofa out of a window due to health and safety risks.

If your sofa is in good condition and still has the fire labels attached, it could well be worth checking with a charity to see if they can organise a free collection. Not only will this save you money it will also ensure the sofa can be re-used, which is even better than recycling. We have included links to some of the national charities who can help below, including the British Heart Foundation and Shelter.

Excluding Northern Ireland, we offer a nationwide sofa pick-up service.

We offer a same-day or next-day service to most of the country. In large urban areas such as London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Bristol, Edinburgh and Glasgow we’ll usually be able to pick your sofa on the very same day, including Saturdays.

Not usually – although you may want to check nothing’s fallen down the back of your sofa. We wouldn’t want to be driving away with your TV remote control. We aren’t able to remove doors or windows, so if you think this is going to be necessary then you may need to organise this yourself. We’re happy to deconstruct sofas when required, however.

The prices we charge for these items are usually fixed. If you have a particularly huge variant or you know it won’t get out of the door without some serious work, please let us know in advance so we can cost and plan the collection appropriately. All standard sofas are removed for the fixed price specified.

We remove the sofa from inside the property, including from upstairs. You do not need to have the sofa outside, unless you plan to be out at the time of collection.

As the service is fixed-price, we do charge for the items in advance, which saves time on the day and ensures our collection team has enough space on the vehicle for your collection. If you’re not sure what is going to be removed or have a lot more waste, you can book a flexible ‘man and van’ collection and just pay the £59.99 call-out charge. However, this means that you won’t benefit from the reduced fixed price schedule which is applied to prepaid sofas.
