End-of-tenancy sofa removal — out of the property, off your inventory, properly disposed of.

Old sofa nobody wants? Wardrobe that wouldn’t fit through the door? Fridge-freezer that finally gave up? We’ll get rid of it — properly. The Yellow Van Company has been clearing furniture and bulky waste across London since 2011, and we treat the job with the same care as a full house move.

We’re not a man-and-a-van that’ll fly-tip your stuff in a lay-by. We’re a fully insured, licensed waste carrier — everything we take goes to the right place. Reusable items get donated. Recyclable materials get sorted. The rest goes to a registered waste transfer station with full paperwork. You get peace of mind, and a clear space.

How much does furniture disposal cost?

Furniture disposal is priced on volume and weight — how much we’re taking, how heavy it is, and how easy it is to access. Here’s a rough guide for London — we’ll confirm the exact price before we book you in.

Single items

One sofa. One mattress. One wardrobe. Ground floor or with lift access.

  • From £40–£80 per item

*Prices shown are disposal fees only — labour charged on top. Upper floors without lift access may attract a small surcharge.

Partial clearance (our most common job)

One room, a garage, a small flat. Typically a van-and-a-half of furniture, white goods and bagged items.

  • From £150–£350

*Prices shown are disposal fees only — labour charged on top.

Full house or flat clearance

End of tenancy, probate, downsizing. Top-to-bottom clearance including white goods.

  • From £400–£800+

*Prices shown are disposal fees only — labour charged on top. Larger properties or particularly full ones quoted on a site visit.

What changes the price:

  • Volume (how full the van gets)
  • Weight (mattresses, white goods, dense items push the disposal fee up)
  • Access — ground floor, lift, third-floor walk-up
  • Distance from our Mitcham base
  • How quickly you need it gone — same-day costs a touch more than booking ahead
  • Whether we’re lifting/carrying anything tricky (pianos, safes, hot tubs)

What we collect

Single items

Sofa. Bed. Wardrobe. Mattress. Dining table. Bookcase. We’ll come and collect a single item the same day or next day — tell us what it is, where it is, and what floor it’s on.

Partial clearance

Clearing out a spare room, a garage, or a loft. Could be a few pieces of furniture, a stack of old boxes, the kids’ outgrown toys and bikes — we’ll take it all in one visit.

Full house or flat clearance

End-of-tenancy clearance, probate clearance, downsizing — we’ll empty the place top to bottom, including white goods, carpets and curtains if needed. Vetted team, fully insured, sympathetic to difficult circumstances.

White goods and electricals (WEEE)

Fridges, freezers, washing machines, dishwashers, ovens, TVs. We hold WEEE compliance and take all electrical waste to licensed recycling facilities.

Mattresses

Mattresses are notoriously tricky to get rid of (local councils often charge per item). We’ll take them, bag them on collection, and recycle the materials wherever possible.

Same-day collection available for most areas of London. Next-day is normally guaranteed. You pick the slot that suits you.
