Direct answer
Removing bulky furniture in London typically costs about £45 to £65 for an assembled single wardrobe, £50 to £70 for a dismantled bed with frame and £70 to £100 for a dining table with chairs. Those are indicative ranges, not a fixed rate card: houseclearance.co publishes a single-item minimum on /prices/, and a licensed carrier quotes the real price for your items and access.
What wardrobe, bed and bulky furniture removal costs in London
Per-item indicative ranges, not a rate card.
Single bulky pieces are usually priced per item, with the price rising for size, whether it has been taken apart and how hard the route is. The ranges below are indicative for London. Our prices page lists mattress and sofa disposal surcharges separately, and publishes a single-item minimum collection charge for small jobs.
| Item | Indicative price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single wardrobe (assembled) | £45 – £65 | Often needs two people |
| Dismantled bed with frame | £50 – £70 | Add the mattress separately |
| Dining table with chairs | £70 – £100 | Depends on table size and chair count |
| Single-item minimum (from /prices/) | £65 – £95 | Published minimum for one-item collections |
The figures in the first three rows are planning ranges. Where an item is collected alone, the carrier may apply the single-item minimum shown on our prices page, so check which applies when you compare quotes.
What moves the price up or down
Assembled or flat-packed, stairs and number of items.
- Assembled or dismantled. A flat-packed wardrobe is quicker to carry than an assembled one. Taking it apart yourself can reduce the quote.
- Stairs. Our prices page notes about £30 to £60 per flight without a lift.
- Mattress and bed base. A mattress carries its own disposal charge: see the mattress removal cost guide.
- Several items. The more you add to one visit, the lower the per-item price usually is. See the furniture and bulky item removal cost guide.

If the pieces are in good condition, our furniture donation guide explains what charities accept. For larger jobs, furniture collection and disposal covers all the options.
How to prepare furniture for collection
Small steps that make a collection quicker.
- Empty wardrobes, drawers and storage beds completely.
- Dismantle if you can, and keep screws in a bag taped to the item.
- Measure doorways and stairs for large pieces.
- Say whether the item is fixed to a wall, as fitted pieces take longer.
Our bulky item preparation guide has a fuller checklist.
