You do not need to carry the sofa outside or leave it on the pavement.
The MM Rubbish Clearance team collects from inside the property, including upper-floor flats and buildings without a lift. Tell us about stairs, narrow corridors, controlled parking or a long carrying distance when requesting your quotation.
For wardrobes, beds, tables and mixed furniture loads, visit our Furniture Removal London page.
We provide a fixed price before collection based on your photographs, location and access information.
Collection and loading of a standard two-seater sofa with straightforward access.
Collection and loading of a standard three-seater sofa.
The price depends on the size, number of sections, weight and access.
This price is most suitable when the armchair is collected with another item or fits an existing collection route. Confirm the final quotation before booking.
If the job is materially different from the photographs or description supplied, we will explain and agree any price change before starting.
Send clear photographs of the sofa through WhatsApp on 07804 582 680.

We assess the sofa and access information before confirming the price.
There are no forms to complete and no need to arrange a separate site visit for a straightforward sofa collection.
Same-day and next-day collection may be available depending on your location, the size of the job and the existing collection route.
Your collection slot will be confirmed before arrival.
Our team carries the sofa out of the property and loads it into the vehicle. You do not need to leave it outdoors or attempt the lifting yourself.
A digital Waste Transfer Note is issued after the completed collection, providing a record of the waste transfer.
A sofa that entered a property in one piece will not always leave in one piece.
The sofa may have been assembled inside the room, brought in before alterations were made or delivered through an opening that is no longer available. Tight turns, narrow hallways, small lifts and fixed banisters can also prevent removal.
MM Rubbish Clearance can dismantle many sofas when necessary to complete the collection safely.
Depending on the construction, we may remove:
Send photographs of the sofa and the narrowest parts of the route when requesting the quotation. This allows sufficient time and labour to be included in the booking.
On one City Road N1 job the building had a passenger lift, but no section of the three-piece sofa would fit inside it. The sofa was dismantled and carried down the stairs instead.
Do not cut through the upholstery or foam before collection. Upholstered seating may contain persistent organic pollutants and damaged material can release contaminated foam, fabric or dust.
The photographs below are from genuine sofa collections completed by MM Rubbish Clearance.
We collected a blue two-seater sofa from inside a residential property in Highgate N6. See our rubbish removal service in Highgate N6.
The first photograph shows the sofa in position inside the room. The second shows the same area clear after collection.
This N1 collection involved a large grey L-shaped corner sofa.
The size and layout of the sofa made this a more substantial job than a standard two-seater collection. The after photograph shows the living-room area after the corner sofa was removed.
For this South Hampstead job, the blue upholstered sofa was separated into manageable sections before collection.
The photographs demonstrate how dismantling can help when a complete sofa will not pass safely through the available access route.

Old upholstered domestic seating cannot always be handled in the same way as ordinary mixed furniture.
Some sofas, sofa beds, armchairs, recliners, futons and upholstered stools may contain persistent organic pollutants, usually shortened to POPs. These chemicals were used in certain flame-retardant treatments and may be present in upholstery, foam, linings and related materials.
Environment Agency guidance for England requires waste upholstered domestic seating containing POPs to be kept separate from other waste so that it does not cause contamination.
Waste upholstered seating containing POPs must be sent through an appropriately authorised destruction route. It must not be sent to landfill or handled as ordinary recyclable furniture.
This is why customers should not burn an old sofa, abandon it outside or cut through its foam and upholstery unnecessarily.
MM Rubbish Clearance is an Environment Agency registered waste carrier at upper tier. Our registration number is CBDU418527, and a digital Waste Transfer Note is issued after every completed collection.
