Great service Came at the time I asked them to Highly recommend them

The Rubish Removers get full marks from me. What seemed like an impossible task of removing my late dad’s shed and its contents, was made easy by this company. This was no ordinary shed, it had been lovingly built by dad in a way only he could do… there were some surprises uncovered along the way as dismantling progressed. But the 3, may I say delightful gentleman doing the work, took all in their stride. The guys were professional, hard working, friendly but also in-tune to the fact that this job had an emotional aspect to it for us and for my 92 year old mum. Again, the respect the guys gave mum was so warming to see. I wanted to also say that the job starts on that first enquiry made and despite it being a Sunday, I received an email from Kane in Operations which was very impressive. This level of service from him continued right up to completion of the work. So to recap, 10/10 for the team at The Rubbish Removers.

The Rubbish Removers were superb and are fully licenced waste carriers. They were polite on the phone and in person. They quoted a reasonable price for removal of a 3 seater Chesterfield and 2 armchairs. They rang 30 mins before arrival. They expertly removed the items through an awkward mid-terrace house. Very happy with the service, would use again and would recommend them to anyone needing sofas removed. Thank you very much.

Sofa Removal in Cheshire West can be a logistical challenge, particularly when dealing with the narrow Roman streets inside the city walls or the limited parking availability in busy suburban areas like Hoole.

Therefore whether you need to dispose of a large corner unit from a heritage townhouse or a three piece suite from a suburban semi, our uniformed two man teams handle everything for you.

As a fully licensed Upper Tier Waste Carrier (CBDU409710), we provide a legal, ethical, and efficient alternative to skip hire. Moreover we are proud to be a Which? Trusted Trader and a member of the Trading Standards Approved “Buy With Confidence” scheme, giving you peace of mind that your old furniture will be handled responsibly.

Attempting to move a heavy sofa yourself is not only physically demanding but can be risky for your property, especially in Cheshire West’s diverse mix of housing. From the ancient city centre properties to large suburban villas, our team is trained to navigate tight corners and staircases safely.
We Collect From Inside: Unlike the local council, which strictly requires items to be left on the curb side, we come directly into your lounge, conservatory, or apartment. This is vital in areas like The Rows or pedestrian zones where leaving furniture outside is simply not an option.
Protection & Care: Furthermore we treat your home with respect. Our teams are experienced in manoeuvring bulky items without marking walls or damaging door frames, floors, also walls.
Same-Day Service Available: If your new sofa is arriving today and you need the old one gone immediately, we can often help. We also act as an “Emergency Service” for waste, providing rapid response times.
All Styles Taken: We have the vehicles and manpower to handle everything from heavy electric recliners and American style sectionals to sofa beds and traditional Chesterfields.
While the council offers a collection service, it is often not suitable for residents who need a quick or convenient solution.

-Electric and Manual Recliners
-Chesterfield Sofas and Armchairs
-Sofa Beds (including heavy metal mechanisms)
-Footstools, Ottomans, and Bean Bags

We also operate a transparent pricing model based on volume and weight. Therefore you only pay for the space your items fill in our truck, ensuring you don’t waste money on “fresh air” as you would with a skip.
Single Item: Prices start from £80+vat. Ideal for a standalone bulky item like a 2-seater sofa or a large armchair. This is faster and far more convenient than waiting for a council slot.
Quarter Van Load: Roughly 2-3 cubic yards. Perfect if you are clearing a 3-piece suite plus a coffee table or a rug.
Half Van Load: Roughly 6 cubic yards. Comparable capacity to a standard builders’ skip. Great for a full living room clearance or removing multiple large items.
Full Van Load: 12-14 cubic yards. Equivalent to roughly 2 x standard 8-yard skips. Suitable for large house clearances or clearing furniture from multiple rooms.

We are in the area daily. Here are a few examples of recent furniture removals we have completed:
We collected a large leather sofa from a second floor apartment near The Rows. Using a “Wait & Load” approach, we also navigated the pedestrian zone restrictions and removed the item without blocking tourist access.
A customer in a Victorian villa needed a heavy corner unit removed before a delivery. We additionally dismantled the unit to ensure it passed through the narrow hallway without scratching the high value paintwork.
We cleared an entire living room set, including a sofa bed and two armchairs, for a resident preparing for a renovation. The job was also completed within 24 hours of the enquiry.

2. We Arrive: Our professional 2 man team arrives in a specific 2 hour window. We also give you a courtesy call 30 minutes before arrival so you aren’t waiting around.
3. We Remove: We carefully disconnect any electrics (for recliners) and carry the furniture out from any room, what’s more negotiating stairs and tight doorways safely.
4. Recycling: Your furniture is taken to a licensed facility where it is broken down. We aim to recycle wood, metal, and textiles, also providing you with a Waste Transfer Note for your records.
We provide our dedicated removal services across the borough and surrounding districts, including:
Q: Do I need to get the sofa to the ground floor? A: No. Our service is comprehensive. Our 2-man team collects from upstairs bedrooms, basements, or upper-floor apartments. We do all the heavy lifting so you don’t have to risk injury.
Q: Do you take large/awkward items (e.g. American Fridges/Corner Sofas)? A: Yes. We are experienced in handling oversized items. We carry tools to dismantle legs or split sectional sofas to ensure they fit through your doorways safely.
Q: Is your disposal legal? A: Absolutely. We are Environment Agency Registered (CBDU409710). Also upon completion, you receive a digital Waste Transfer Note, proving you have fulfilled your Duty of Care and that the waste has been disposed of legally.
Q: Does Cheshire West and Chester Council collect from inside my house? A: No. The council operates a strict “curbside only” policy. As a result this can be extremely difficult for residents in terraced properties or apartments where dragging a heavy sofa to the road is physically impossible or unsafe.
Q: I live on a narrow street within the City Walls, can you still help? A: Yes. We know that access within the Roman walls and areas like Handbridge can be very tight. Our vans are more mobile than large skip lorries, allowing us to access locations that heavier vehicles cannot reach.
Q: Can I take my own sofa to Bumpers Lane tip? A: You can, but be aware that the Bumpers Lane Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) can be very busy with long queues. Additionally, if you are planning to hire a van to transport it, you may need a permit or face being turned away due to strict “trade waste” checks. Our service eliminates this hassle entirely.
