Friendly, professional and quick service! Tom and Barry were great calling me half an hour before arriving, and observed all social distancing regulations etc, and Richard was very helpful on the phone fitting me in same day. Overall very satisfied and would recommend.
GraceyAbsolutely brilliant! The two lads were quick and efficient with big smiles on their faces, despite the cold. Twenty four hours from the initial enquiry, the job was completed. That’s proper service.
GrahamThey did an excellent job and cleared my Mums flat quickly. I would recommend them to everyone and I would use them again. My mum had recently passed away so it was a difficult time but they were also understanding of the circumstances.

Unlike Oldham Council, which operates a strict curbside-only policy, we come directly into your lounge, kitchen or basement. This means you don’t need to move heavy furniture yourself. In particular, this is essential on steep terraces where leaving a sofa outside is neither practical nor safe.
We offer a reliable same-day service. As a result, your old sofa can be gone before the new one arrives. Plus, our crew will call when they’re on the way, so you’re not left waiting around.
Navigating narrow doors in traditional terraced homes requires experience. Therefore, we take extra care when moving bulky items. In addition, we use protection where needed to safeguard your flooring, walls and also doorways.
We remove everything from heavy leather sectionals and also recliners to standard two-seaters and sofa beds. Furthermore, we also handle bed frame removal and general indoor bulky waste collection.

What We Take
Our transparent pricing method means you only pay for the space your items fill in our vans, unlike a skip where you pay for fresh air. This makes our service an excellent skip hire alternative.
Single Item
Prices start from £80 + VAT. For example, this option is ideal for a standalone bulky item such as a large corner sofa or armchair.
Quarter Van Load
Roughly 2 to 3 cubic yards. This is perfect for clearing an old living room suite, along with a few black bags.
Half Van Load
Around 6 cubic yards. In comparison, this offers similar capacity to a standard builder’s skip. Therefore, it’s ideal for a full lounge strip-out or large master bedroom clearance.
Full Van Load
Approximately 12 to 14 cubic yards. As a result, this option is best suited for full house clearances or large apartment moves.

Apartment clearance in the Town Centre
Similarly, we removed a large sectional sofa from a mill conversion. In addition, we carefully navigated the service lift and also protected the shared corridors to keep the communal space clean and safe.
Sofa removal in Saddleworth
For example, we cleared a heavy Chesterfield sofa using our wait and load service. As a result, we avoided the narrow, winding country lanes where skip wagons simply cannot access.
First, give us a call, fill in our contact form or you can also WhatsApp a photo of the item to 07802 860 731. This way, we can provide you with a fast, free quote.
Next, our two-man team arrives within the agreed time window. Importantly, we come fully equipped to navigate the steep streets as well as the tight parking often found in Oldham.
Then, we carefully carry your furniture out of the property. At the same time, we navigate tight corners and protect your walls from scratches or damage.
We then sweep up the cleared space and ensure up to 95% of all furniture is recycled at licensed transfer stations. As a result, you can enjoy complete peace of mind.

Do I need to get the item to the ground floor?
No, you don’t. In fact, our two-man team collects from upstairs rooms, basements and also apartments. This means we do all the lifting safely, so you don’t have to risk straining your back.
Do you take large or awkward items like corner sofas?
Yes, we certainly do. In addition, we have the correct vehicles and manual handling experience to dismantle and remove large, awkward items with ease.
Is your disposal legal?
Yes, absolutely. Importantly, we operate under our Environment Agency Licence CBDU409710 and provide full Duty of Care documentation. As a result, you are guaranteed 100% legal recycling at a licensed transfer station.
Does Oldham Council collect from inside my house?
No, they don’t. Instead, Oldham Council operates a strict curbside-only policy. Therefore, this can be extremely difficult for residents living on steep hills or in traditional terraced properties, which is why our indoor collection service is highly recommended.
I live on a narrow street in Oldham, can you still help?
Yes, we can. Even if parking is tight on steep terraces or in Saddleworth country lanes, our vans are far more mobile than skip lorries. Consequently, we can often use local loading bays while staying considerate of neighbours and council guidelines.
