Furniture removals

Single items and furniture moved without the drama

Sofas, wardrobes, dining tables, beds and appliances collected and delivered across Manchester and the North West — including Facebook Marketplace and store pickups.

  • Single items and part loads welcome
  • Facebook Marketplace and eBay collections
  • Blanket wrapping and strapping as standard
  • Dismantle and reassemble on request
What we do

One item or one room — same care either way

Not every job is a full house move. A huge share of our week is single-item work: a corner sofa bought in Warrington that needs to reach a flat in Manchester, a wardrobe going to a family member in Hindley, or a dining set collected from a store warehouse in Wigan the same afternoon.

Those jobs still deserve real removals treatment. Every item is blanket-wrapped and stretch-wrapped before it leaves the property, strapped to the load rails inside the van, and carried by people who know how to take a door off its hinges rather than force a sofa through the frame.

The Ford Transit LWB gives 15 cubic metres of space, so a sofa, an armchair, a mattress and half a dozen boxes travel comfortably in one trip. If you are combining a marketplace collection with a delivery elsewhere, we can route both into a single booking and you only pay for the time.

We also handle furniture disposal and charity drop-offs, so an old wardrobe can leave in the same visit that the new one arrives.

Questions

Furniture removals FAQs

How much to move one sofa?

A single item is usually a one man and van job at £45 per hour, or £70 per hour with two movers where the item is heavy or stairs are involved. Most local single-item jobs take one to two hours.

Can you collect something I bought online?

Yes. Give us the seller's postcode, a contact number and a collection window and we will handle it end to end, delivering straight to your door.

Will you dismantle furniture if it will not fit?

We carry tools as standard and can dismantle and reassemble most beds, wardrobes and flat-pack items at no extra charge beyond the time taken.

Do you take away old furniture?

We can drop items at a charity shop or licensed waste site on the same visit. Tip fees are charged at cost.

What does a furniture delivery to a flat cost?

The hourly rate plus a per-floor surcharge for flats: +£10 per person for the 1st floor, +£20 for the 2nd, +£30 for the 3rd and so on. If the building has a working lift there is no surcharge at all.

Is there a minimum charge?

Yes — two hours minimum, so £100 with one man and van or £160 with two. Anything beyond that is billed in 30-minute blocks.

How do I get a price for a single item?

Send us a photo, the collection and delivery postcodes and the floor level. That is usually enough for a firm price without a home visit, and we normally reply within the hour.

How far ahead should I book?

Next-day and even same-day slots are often available for single items. Saturdays and month-end dates fill fastest, so book those a week or two ahead.
