Single items upwards · we carry it out for you
The new sofa is arriving on Saturday and the old one is still in the living room. We will take it — out of the house, down the stairs if that is where it is, and away for recycling. Single items or a full house of furniture, and we do the carrying.
Upstairs, loft, cellar or fourth-floor flat. Stairs and awkward turns are included, not surcharged.
Tell us when the new one is coming and we will clear the old one out of the way beforehand.
Furniture in decent condition goes on rather than into a wagon. Not everything is rubbish.
Mattresses need specific processing. We take them, we tell you the charge up front, and we do it correctly.
Most local authorities run a bulky waste collection and for a couple of items left at the kerbside it can be good value. The catches are the wait — often two to three weeks — and the fact that almost all of them require you to get the item out to the front of the property yourself. If the sofa is upstairs, or you are on your own, or the new one arrives on Saturday, that does not help.
We will come this week, often the same week you ring, and we will carry it out from wherever it is. That is the difference you are paying for.
Mattresses are the most awkward item in the domestic waste stream. They are bulky, they are made of layered materials that have to be separated, and disposal facilities charge a specific fee to process them. That is why nearly every waste company charges separately for them and why anyone quoting you the same price for a mattress as a chair either has not understood the question or is not planning to dispose of it properly.
We take them, we tell you the charge before you book, and they go to a facility that strips the springs, foam and textiles for recycling. If your mattress is going in a skip instead, mention it when you book that skip so we can add it correctly.
Sofas that came in through a window, wardrobes assembled in the room they stand in, and beds wider than the staircase turn are all things we deal with regularly. If an item genuinely will not come out whole, we will dismantle it — but tell us when you book so we send a crew with tools and enough time. It is not an extra charge, it is just a different job to a straight carry-out.
We put down protection on carpets and stairs where it is needed, and we take doors off their hinges rather than force something through a frame. Nothing gets dragged across a floor.
Furniture in genuinely usable condition — no rips, no damp, no damage — is passed on where there is somewhere for it to go. It is worth saying plainly that a lot of what we collect is past that point, and pretending otherwise would be dishonest. What cannot be reused is broken down at the transfer station: timber frames chipped, metal springs and frames to the metal stream, foam and textiles separated where the facility can take them.
One thing worth knowing if you are hoping to donate an upholstered item yourself: charities cannot take soft furnishings without an intact fire safety label. If the label has been cut off, no reputable charity will accept it, however good the condition. If yours still has its label and the item is in good shape, it is worth ringing a local charity before you ring us.
Desks, chairs, filing cabinets, shelving and partitioning from offices, shops and units. We can work outside business hours where a clearance would disrupt trading, and we will provide the waste transfer note your business needs. See commercial waste for ongoing arrangements.
Several of these we will still take away — just as a separate collection, because they have to go to a different licensed facility. Ring and ask.
One picture of the item and where it lives is usually all we need to price it.
You get a figure and a time window, not "sometime Tuesday".
Two-man team, doorways protected where needed, nothing scraped on the way through.
Timber, metal and foam separated for recycling. Usable items passed on.

I would highly recommend Smiths Waste Removals & Skip Hire, placed the enquiry on their site and someone was talking to me with in minutes. They went above and beyond by asking for photos on what i needed the skip for so they could advise on what size I needed, very friendly and helpful through out the whole experience, reasonably priced aswell, i wouldn't use anyone else now.
