Furniture collection in London, carried in properly
Getting large items home in London is rarely straightforward. Doorways three inches too narrow for a wardrobe. Stairwells that double back on themselves. Lifts designed long before anyone thought about a king-size bed frame. The North London Waste Authority estimates over 22 million furniture items are thrown away across the UK every year, many still perfectly usable but impossible to shift without a proper van and a trained crew. Replacing them becomes the easier option. We’re the option that makes the original delivery actually work.
One piece or a van-load
Book us for a single heavy item or a batch of pieces in one trip. Sofas, beds, wardrobes, dining tables, chest freezers, appliances. If it won’t go on a bus, we’ve almost certainly moved one before. Whether you’re picking up from a seller in Hackney or from a retail park on the other side of the city, we size the van to your load so you’re not paying for space you don’t need.
We carry it in, not just drop it off
Standard couriers leave things at your front door and move on. Our crew brings your furniture into the room you want, up however many flights the building has, through tight hallways and awkward turns, positioned exactly where you tell them. Walls and floors are protected throughout. Packaging is taken away on request. For smaller same-day collections across the capital, our man and van service can cover it.
IKEA, marketplace pickups and retail collections
Secondhand furniture has grown into a serious market. Around 670,000 tonnes of furniture is discarded across the UK each year, and a growing number of Londoners are buying quality secondhand pieces on Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree and eBay rather than buying new. Most of those purchases need a proper van and a second pair of hands. We collect from the seller, check the item matches the listing where we can, and bring it straight to you. Need it held between collection and delivery? Our secure storage service can step in.
Shopping at IKEA? We collect from the store, transport flat-pack securely and assemble at your home if you need it.
What sets the price
The main factors are the size and weight of the item, the distance between collection and delivery, and the access at both ends. Properties in Islington and other parts of North London often have no lift and tight stairwells that turn back on themselves. A ground-floor handover with parking right outside takes far less time. We talk through the details before you confirm the booking, so the price is fair and nothing comes as a surprise on the day.

“Collected a corner sofa from a seller in Peckham and carried it up to our third-floor flat in Stoke Newington without a scratch. Two guys, proper kit, done in under two hours.”
“Booked them for an IKEA run and assembly. They collected from the store, carried everything up four flights and built the whole bedroom in an afternoon. Fixed price, no nasty surprises.”
