Bristol Carpet Removal helpful tips

• How much does carpet removal cost in Bristol?

  The cost of carpet removal in Bristol depends on the type of carpet, amount of carpet, urgency of the job and how simple the removal. Lots of heavy carpet that also needs uplifting will be more expensive. Whereas a small roll of carpet ready for collection by the curbside tends to cost less. That said, the best way to find out how much carpet removal costs is to ask. Simply create a LoveJunk listing and wait for local waste collectors to submit removal quotes.

• How to get the best removal price

  If you can be flexible, the best time to list your carpet waste is a weekday with 'Anytime' as the collection date. Collectors in Bristol are most active during the week and 'anytime' gives them plenty of opportunity to fit your job into their routes. Remember to include good photos with your listing (plus a short video ideally) as well as a clear title and description. Bear in mind that uplifting the carpet yourself, being able to cut it into smaller rolls and leaving close to pick up point will make the collection cheaper. And try to keep it dry! Wet carpet is heavy, and more expensive to dispose of.

• What kind of carpet and flooring can I get removed?

  You can use the LoveJunk platform to get rid of pretty much any type of unwanted carpet. This includes offcuts and underlay, as well as other types of flooring such as laminate, tiles, wood, ceramic, floorboards, rugs and mats.

• Will my carpet be reused?

  Yes, possibly! A lot of reuse happens on the LoveJunk marketplace each week. If you think your carpet is reusable (clean and in genuinely good condition) then tick the 'reusable' box when creating your LoveJunk listing. When you tick this box, it alerts local junk reusers as well, not just licensed waste carriers. Junk reusers will pick up for free if they like it. Old carpet can sometimes be reused by gardeners or animals shelters, so watch out for any messages from reusers!

• How quickly can I get my carpet collected?

  Very quickly! You’ll normally start getting offers from waste collectors to dispose of your carpet within minutes of creating your LoveJunk listing. Provided you select ‘ASAP’ or choose today’s date as your required pickup time - those offers will be to collect your carpet very quickly. Bear in mind that specifying an urgent collection will probably cost you more than if you offer a more flexible collection window. Top tip: make your carpet as accessible as possible and mention this in the description. The quicker collectors can load your waste, the more likely they can fit it into their schedule last minute.
