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.

Why Choose Us for Sofa Removal in Preston?
Moving a sofa in Preston often involves negotiating tight spaces, busy roads and complex student accommodation layouts near UCLan. Therefore, our service is specifically designed to handle these local challenges, while ensuring a premium customer experience.
We Collect From Inside
Firstly, unlike the local council’s collection service, which requires items to be left on the curbside, our uniformed teams come directly into your lounge, spare room or conservatory. As a result, you don’t need to struggle with heavy lifting or drag furniture out into the rain.
Protection & Care
Next, we understand that moving a large sofa out of a terraced property in areas like Plungington or Ribbleton can be tight. Therefore, our crews are trained to manoeuvre awkward items carefully, ensuring door frames, flooring and walls are protected from scuffs and scratches.
Same-Day Service Available
Additionally, if your new suite is arriving tomorrow, you can’t afford to wait weeks for a collection slot. For this reason, we offer an “Emergency Service” for waste, often providing collection within 24 hours, including Saturday mornings.
All Styles Taken
Finally, we handle everything from heavy electric recliners and Chesterfield sofas to cumbersome L-shaped sectionals. Moreover, if dismantling is required to get the item through the door, we have the tools and expertise to manage it on the spot.
The Rubbish Removers vs. Preston City Council Bulk Collection
Many residents consider the council service first but for bulky indoor items, it often falls short on convenience and labour.
| Feature | The Rubbish Removers | Preston City Council |
|---|---|---|
| Collection Point | Any Room / Upstairs (We do the lifting) | Curbside Only (You must drag it out) |
| Speed | Same Day / 24 Hours | Subject to Availability (Often weeks wait) |
| Heavy Lifting | 2-Man Team Included | Zero Assistance |
| Item Limits | Multiple Items / Full Clearance | Strict Item Limits |
What we take – We collect all types of seating and also soft furnishings, ensuring they are diverted from landfill whenever possible.
- Sofas & Armchairs: 2-seater, 3-seater, corner sofas (sectionals), recliners and also Chesterfields.
- Sofa Beds: Heavy metal-action sofa beds (we can dismantle these for safe removal).
- Upholstered Items: Footstools, ottomans, chaise longues as well as bean bags.
- Suite Disposal: Full 3-piece suites cleared in a single visit.
Typical Load Sizes & Pricing Guide
Our pricing is transparent and based strictly on volume. You only pay for the space your items fill in our van, making us a cost-effective Skip Hire Alternative.
Single Item
Firstly, prices start from £80+VAT. This option is ideal for a standalone bulky item, such as a 3-seater sofa, armchair or sofa bed. As a result, it is often faster and less hassle than arranging a council collection.
Quarter Van Load
Next, roughly 20–30 bin bags (2–3 cubic yards). This load is perfect for clearing a full 3-piece suite plus a coffee table or a small pile of living room junk.
Half Van Load
Additionally, approximately 6 cubic yards, comparable to a standard builders’ skip. Therefore, this option is ideal for a full living room clearance, including carpets, underlay, and old furniture.
Full Van Load
Finally, 12–14 cubic yards, a large capacity equivalent to roughly 2 x standard 8-yard skips. As a result, it is suitable for full house clearances or large office reception clear-outs.

Recent Jobs in Preston
We work daily across Preston, handling the unique logistics of the city’s diverse housing.
Sofa Removal in Plungington
Firstly, we cleared a large corner sofa from a Victorian terrace. Because access was tight via the rear alley, our team dismantled the unit into three sections to remove it safely without blocking the narrow street.
Student Accommodation Clearance near UCLan
Next, a landlord needed three sofa beds and mattresses removed urgently before new tenants arrived. Therefore, we used a Wait & Load service to avoid parking restrictions on the busy one-way systems near the university.
Suite Disposal in Fulwood
Additionally, a customer in a detached home required a heavy electric recliner suite removed. In this case, our team disconnected the electrics and carefully removed the units, ensuring the high-value resin driveway remained undamaged.
Old Furniture Removal in Ingol
We collected an old 3-piece suite and a coffee table. Because the customer couldn’t drive to the Tom Benson Way tip, we provided a full clear-out and swept the room clean afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to get the item to the ground floor?
A: No. Fortunately, our professional team handles all the heavy lifting. This means we can collect from upstairs bedrooms, basements or upper-floor apartments. In addition, we are fully insured and experienced in safely navigating stairs and tight turns.
Q: Do you take large or awkward items?
A: Yes. Moreover, our vehicles are purpose-built for large furniture. Therefore, if you have a large corner sofa or an American-style fridge freezer, we have the tools to dismantle doors or feet if required, ensuring the item is removed safely.
Q: Is your disposal legal?
A: Absolutely. As an Environment Agency Registered carrier (CBDU409710), we provide a digital Waste Transfer Note for every job. This ensures your waste is handled in full compliance with your Duty of Care.
Q: Does Preston City Council collect from inside my house?
A: No. Importantly, the council’s bulky waste service is strictly curbside only. As a result, this can be very difficult for residents in terraced properties in areas like Plungington or Ashton, where leaving items on the street can obstruct pavements or attract fly-tipping. By contrast, we collect directly from inside your home.
Q: I live on a narrow street in Preston, can you still help?
A: Yes. We know that parking in areas like Plungington or near the university can be extremely tight. Therefore, our vans are more mobile than skip lorries and can navigate narrow back alleys or busy one-way systems. In addition, we use a “Wait & Load” approach to ensure we don’t block the road.
