Marketplace, Private-Seller and Shop Collections

Buying large furniture does not always mean it will fit into a car or that the seller can deliver it. We collect furniture purchased from private sellers, online marketplaces and shops throughout Birmingham and the surrounding areas.

We regularly handle collections connected with Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Gumtree, IKEA, DFS, ScS, Bensons for Beds, Dunelm, Furniture Village and Next Home.

Before arranging a collection, please confirm:

• The item’s approximate dimensions

• Whether it is already assembled

• Whether it can be dismantled

• The collection and delivery postcodes

• Floor levels and lift availability

• Parking or loading restrictions

• Whether the seller has set a collection deadline

• That someone will be available at both addresses

We provide transport rather than acting as the purchaser. Customers should confirm the item’s condition, measurements, payment and collection arrangements directly with the seller before we travel.

​

Will My Furniture Fit Through the Door?

Measure large furniture before arranging collection, particularly sofas, wardrobes, bed frames and American-style fridge freezers.

Check:

• The item’s height, width and depth

• Doorway width and height

• Narrow hallways and internal doors

• Tight corners and staircase turns

• Low ceilings or bannisters

• Lift-door and internal lift dimensions

• Access into the intended room

• Whether doors, legs or other parts can be removed

Remember that an item fitting inside the property does not necessarily mean it can pass through every doorway, staircase or lift along the route.

Send us photographs or a short video if access appears difficult. We can assess the likely moving route, although final access can only be confirmed at the property.

​​

Moving Furniture to or From a Flat

Our team regularly moves furniture into and out of flats and apartments across Birmingham. These jobs may involve communal entrances, lifts, staircases, restricted parking and longer walks between the property and the van.

When requesting a quotation, tell us:

• Which floor the property is on

• Whether there is a suitable working lift

• The lift dimensions

• Whether stairs must be used

• The distance from parking to the entrance

• Whether the building has a loading bay

• Any restricted moving hours

• Whether access must be booked with building management

Providing this information in advance helps us allow sufficient time and bring the appropriate moving equipment.

​

Furniture Disassembly and Reassembly

Large furniture may need to be dismantled before it can be moved safely through doorways, hallways or staircases.

When arranged in advance, we can dismantle and reassemble suitable items such as:

• Bed frames

• Ottoman beds

• Wardrobes

• Dining tables

• Office desks

• Flat-pack furniture

Send us clear photographs before booking so we can assess the item and allow sufficient time. Some glued, damaged, antique, specialist or heavily worn furniture may not be suitable for dismantling and reassembly.

Where possible, please locate any original fixings, specialist tools or assembly instructions before the move.

​

Moving Household Appliances

We can transport suitable household appliances including washing machines, tumble dryers, fridges and freezers.

Before collection:

• Washing machines should be disconnected and drained

• Transit bolts should be fitted where available

• Fridges and freezers should be emptied and defrosted

• Shelves, trays and loose parts should be removed or secured

• Water and electrical connections should be safely disconnected

• The appliance should be clean and ready to move

We provide transportation and do not normally disconnect or install plumbing, electrical or gas connections. Customers should arrange this with a suitably qualified person where required.

​

What Affects the Cost of Furniture Removals?

The main factors include:

• The number and size of the items
