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.

We Collect From Inside
Unlike Wakefield Council’s kerbside-only rules, our uniformed two-man team will come directly into your lounge, kitchen or bedroom. In addition, you don’t need to move a thing. As a result, we handle all the heavy lifting for you, so you can simply relax while we do the work.
Protection & Care
Moving bulky items through older red-brick terraces takes real care and experience. Therefore, we take extra precautions when working in tight spaces and narrow doorways. Where needed, we also use protective coverings to help safeguard your walls, floors and doors throughout the removal process.
Speed
We offer a same-day service if you call early in the day. This is especially useful if your new sofa, fridge or appliance is being delivered and you need the old one gone quickly. In many cases, we can arrive and clear your items the very same day.

What We Take

King-size mattresses, memory foam, bed frames as well as the headboards

Prices start from £80+VAT. This option is ideal for a standalone bulky item such as a fridge, sofa or heavy mattress. In addition, it is often quicker and more cost-effective than council collection services.
This is roughly equivalent to 20 to 30 bin bags or 2 to 3 cubic yards. As a result, it’s perfect for safely clearing a box room, small cluttered space or an under-stairs cupboard.
Around 6 cubic yards in total, this is comparable to the capacity of a standard builders’ skip, but without the need for permit fees. Therefore, it’s ideal for a large master bedroom clearance or removing old lounge furniture.
This option covers approximately 12 to 14 cubic yards or an 800kg payload, equivalent to around two standard 8-yard skips. In addition, it’s best suited for full house clearances or larger domestic decluttering projects.

Garage Clearance in the Post-War Estates:
– We cleared years of accumulated domestic waste and heavy furniture from the garage. In addition, we swept the space completely clean afterwards, leaving it ready to use. As a result, the homeowner didn’t need to make a stressful trip to the confusing Welbeck tip.
Furniture Disposal from a Red-Brick Colliery Row:
– We removed a heavy corner sofa directly from the lounge with care and efficiency. Furthermore, our nimble vans navigated the narrow terraced streets with ease, where a skip would have blocked the entire road. This made the process smooth and disruption-free for the neighbourhood.
White Goods Removal Near the Town Centre:
– We collected a broken American fridge freezer from a Georgian townhouse. In addition, we carefully managed the tight staircases to ensure safe removal. We also timed the pickup to avoid heavy afternoon traffic near the market, resulting in a quicker and more efficient service.
