Quick answer
Sofa removal in Chorleywood is priced by the piece and its size. A 2-seater is £95 if you put it outside for us, or £125 if we carry it out of any room — same or next day, upstairs flats included. A 3-seater is £105 or £135, a corner sofa £125 or £155, an armchair £65 or £95, a mattress £75 or £105. Extra pieces on the same visit add their own fee, not another call-out: a sofa plus a mattress together comes to £120 outside or £150 carried out. Every price is all-in — the POPs disposal fee is already included, and nothing is added on the day.

Priced by piece and size. Each price is one piece on its own. More than one piece on the same visit? Add them up and take £50 off for each extra piece — a 2-seater plus a mattress comes to £120 outside or £150 carried out; a three-piece suite (a 3-seater and two armchairs) comes to £135 or £165. Carrying it out adds £30 per job — any room, any floor, stairs and no-lift flats included: about 20 minutes of our £89/hr two-person crew, the same whether it is a 2-seater from the front room or a corner sofa down two flights. Every price is all-in: the specialist POPs disposal that upholstered furniture legally needs is already inside the figure, and nothing is added on the day.
Furniture we take away in Chorleywood
Sofas and mattresses are the two items the council makes hardest to move, and the two most likely to need carrying down a staircase. Chorleywood houses are large, which usually means a first-floor or second-floor bedroom, a loft conversion, or a long carry out across a gravel drive to where the van can stand. Every VTQ job comes with two crew as standard, which is what a corner sofa on a staircase actually requires.
We take sofas, corner units and armchairs, mattresses and divan bases, bed frames, wardrobes, chests of drawers, dining sets, desks, garden furniture and office chairs. Upholstered seating and mattresses are priced all-in — Kerbside — the piece already outside — an armchair is £65, a 2-seater £95, a 3-seater £105 and a corner sofa £125; if we carry it out of the property add £30 to the job. A furniture van load is £375 with carrying included.
All-in is the part worth checking against any other quote. Upholstered seating and mattresses cannot legally go through general waste, and many firms add the specialist recycling charge at the end. Ours is already inside the figure. Fridges and freezers are the exception, running as a general load plus their published WEEE fee, and we will give you that number before we come.
Two different councils handle big waste in WD3. Three Rivers District Council runs the home bulky collection — £64 for up to three items, then £25 for each extra item up to a maximum of ten, with white goods and TVs priced separately and a 50% discount on two collections a year for residents on certain benefits. Hertfordshire County Council runs the recycling centres. Confirm current figures on the council’s booking page before you rely on them.
Your nearest tip is Rickmansworth household waste recycling centre on Riverside Drive (WD3 1FS), run by Hertfordshire County Council and free to use — but if you turn up in a van or with a trailer you need a free ePass arranged first. Our Three Rivers bulky waste guide and Rickmansworth recycling centre guide cover the rules in full.
Sofa and mattress disposal in Chorleywood — your questions answered
Can you carry a sofa down from an upstairs room?
Yes. Two crew come as standard on every job, which is what a sofa or corner unit on a staircase needs. If a piece will genuinely not come down whole we can dismantle it in place — say so when you book so we allow the time.
Is the recycling fee included in the price?
For upholstered seating and mattresses, yes. Kerbside — the piece already outside — an armchair is £65, a 2-seater £95, a 3-seater £105 and a corner sofa £125; if we carry it out of the property add £30 to the job. A furniture van load is £375 with carrying included — the specialist recycling charge is already inside that. Fridges and freezers are the exception and run as a general load plus a published WEEE fee, quoted up front.
Why not book the Three Rivers bulky collection?
For up to three ordinary items you can get outside yourself it is often cheaper, and we will tell you so — £64 for three, then £25 per extra item to a maximum of ten. It is not the answer when the sofa is upstairs, when you are over the item limit, or when you need it gone today.
Do you take mattresses and divan bases?
Yes, both, on the same all-in ladder as sofas. Mattresses cannot go through general waste, so they are separated for specialist recycling and that fee is already inside the price we quote you.
How soon can you collect in Chorleywood?
Usually the same day. WD3 is about twenty minutes from our Uxbridge base and we work 7am to 10pm, seven days a week including bank holidays. Send a photo of the item and where it sits and we will confirm a fixed price and a slot.
Where we collect furniture near Chorleywood

What the price includes — and what it doesn't
The most common complaint about clearance companies is a price that grows once the van is loaded. So here is the whole of ours, before you book, including the parts that cost extra.
Included in the price we quote
No line of this is billed separately afterwards.
- Labour — the crew, the carrying and the loading.
- The van, the fuel, ULEZ and the congestion charge — London charges are ours, not yours.
- Disposal and recycling of the load — the tipping cost is inside the price.
- Access from anywhere on the property — any room, up or down stairs, or out of the garden.
- VAT — the price you are shown is the price you pay.
- Waste transfer paperwork for your load, on request — so your duty of care is documented.
Priced separately, or not carried at all
Told to you up front, never discovered on the invoice.
- Upholstered seating and mattresses carry their own disposal fee, because the law forces them down a more expensive route than the rest of your load. The amount is on our pricing page before you book.
- Hazardous items — paint, chemicals, asbestos, tyres and gas bottles cannot travel in a general load and need a specialist route. We will tell you which one.
- Fridges, freezers and electricals have a separate WEEE route — flag them when you book so we arrive with the right van.
- Anything flammable, explosive, illegal, or alive — we cannot carry it, and we will say so before the day.
If there turns out to be more than we quoted for, you hear the new price before anything goes in the van — not once it is loaded, and not on the invoice. The same goes for access: tell us when you book if your street is permit-only or on a red route, or if the job is above the third floor with no lift, and we plan for it instead of pricing round it on the day.
What happens to your waste after we drive away
Most clearance companies stop this story at the word "recycled". Here is the actual route your load takes, including the part of it that nobody advertises.
It goes in by hand
Everything is carried out and loaded by the crew — from the room, the garden or the kerbside. What is in the load matters, because what is in it decides where it is legally allowed to go.
Sorted, not buried
The load goes to a licensed transfer station or recycling centre, where it is separated by material. It is not tipped straight into a hole in the ground.
Recovered by material
Metal, wood, cardboard, textiles and electricals are pulled out for recycling or recovery. Green waste is composted.
The bit nobody advertises
Upholstered furniture cannot be recycled at all. Since January 2023 the Environment Agency presumes every domestic sofa, armchair and padded dining chair contains persistent organic pollutants, so it must be kept apart from other waste and incinerated — never landfilled, never shredded for reuse. That law, not a markup, is why soft seating carries its own fee. Whatever is genuinely left after sorting goes to energy recovery.
- Metal
- Wood
- Cardboard & paper
- Textiles
- Electricals (WEEE)
- Green waste
We do not publish a recycling percentage. You will see "90% diverted from landfill" on a lot of clearance websites. The sorting happens at the transfer station, after our van has left, and we are not going to take credit for a figure we cannot evidence. What we can give you is the route your load takes and the paperwork for it — and if you want to check who handles it, ask us to identify the registered carrier for your collection and verify them on the Environment Agency public register before we load.
Proof, not adjectives
Anyone can type "trusted" and "reliable" onto a website. These are the things about us you can actually check.
We are a small London crew, not a national booking platform, and we are not going to pretend otherwise: we have 27 five-star reviews on Google and 3 on Yell. That is all of them. Every one is public, unedited and one tap away — which is worth rather more than a five-figure review count you have no way of reading.
