Before the sofa goes
Do
- Check for a fire safety label if you want a charity to take it
- Measure the doorway if you are selling it, so the buyer knows it fits
- Take photos from the front, the side and the stairs or hallway it has to come down
- Mention any other items you want gone in the same visit
Don't
- Leave it on the pavement or in a lay-by
- Hand it to someone who cannot show a registered waste carrier licence
- Try to carry it down the stairs alone
- Cut it up to fit in the car

Sofa beds, corner sofas and armchairs
Bigger pieces are harder to move and can be harder to book a collection for. A corner sofa or sofa bed is heavy and awkward on stairs, and it rarely fits in a car boot.
We take it all in one visit, so the matching armchair, footstool and old rug can go with it. See furniture and appliance removal for the wider picture, or rubbish removal if the sofa is part of a bigger tidy-up. If you plan to drive it to the tip, our West Berkshire tips page has the details.
Sofa disposal questions
Can you take a sofa from upstairs?
Yes. We carry everything out from inside, so you don't lift a thing. Send a photo of the stairs or hallway with your quote request and we will take that into account.
Will you take just one sofa?
Yes. We do the whole job in one visit with no limit on items, so it can be one sofa or a whole room of furniture.
Will a charity take my old sofa?
Sometimes. Upholstered furniture needs a fire safety label, and it should be clean and in good condition. Ask the charity before you arrange anything.
How do I find out the price?
Use the quote form and send a few photos. We give you a price up front, before we start, based on what we can see.
