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.

What We Take
– We use a transparent pricing model based on volume and weight. You only pay for the space your furniture takes up in our van, unlike a skip where you pay for fresh air.
SINGLE ITEM:
Prices start from £80 + VAT. For example, this is ideal for a standalone bulky item such as a heavy recliner, a three-seater sofa or a sofa bed. It is often quicker and more cost-effective than a council bulky collection.
QUARTER VAN LOAD:
This option covers roughly 20–30 bin bags or 2–3 cubic yards. So, it’s perfect for removing a large corner sofa alongside an old armchair or footstool.
HALF VAN LOAD:
This equates to around 6 cubic yards, similar to a standard 6-yard builders’ skip. It is ideal when clearing a full living room suite along with other unwanted furniture.
FULL VAN LOAD:
This option provides 12–14 cubic yards or an 800kg payload. For example, it’s best suited for full property clearances or multiple-room furniture upgrades.

First, give us a call, fill in our contact form or WhatsApp a photo of the item to 07802 860 731.

Yes. We have the vehicles and equipment to manage large items. Our crews regularly dismantle bulky corner sofas and reclining units to remove them safely from your property.

No. Tameside Council operates a strict curbside-only collection service.

However, our trained professional teams can come into your home and efficiently remove your unwanted sofa.
You can, but it can be inconvenient. Queues at Bayley Street tip often build up significantly at weekends, sometimes reaching back towards main roads. If you hire a van, you may also need to follow strict permit requirements on arrival.
