What affects the price of a sofa collection?
- Floor and access — top-floor flats without a lift add a couple of minutes per landing.
- Whether it's kerbside — items already outside are the cheapest to collect.
- Size and type — a two-seater is quicker than a corner sofa or a sofa bed.
- Dismantling — if the sofa needs to lose feet or a back panel to get through the door.
- Postcode — inside the M42 is standard; longer runs across the West Midlands may add a small mileage element.
- Timing — same-day and out-of-hours slots may carry a small urgency fee.
Are multi-item bundles cheaper?
Yes — meaningfully. Two items on the same visit share the travel, arrival and paperwork time, so bundling saves you around 20–40% versus booking two single collections. The most common Birmingham bundles are sofa + armchair, sofa + mattress, and sofa + a few bags at tenancy end.
Once you're at around a quarter of a van, it's cheaper to book a small rubbish removal rather than pay per item. See our rubbish removal cost guide for the whole-van price ladder.
How quickly can you collect?
Same-day is standard if you book before midday, seven days a week across Birmingham. For end-of-tenancy or house-sale deadlines, next-day slots are almost always available. Send a photo on WhatsApp and we come back with a fixed price and a slot.
What is included in the price?
- Two loaders (one for kerbside, two for anything from inside).
- All lifting and, where needed, dismantling.
- Fixed price agreed before we start.
- Waste transfer note emailed the same day.
- Aim to divert around 95% of what we collect from landfill.
