• How much does London furniture removal cost?

  Cost of furniture removal in London depends on the type of furniture, its condition, and when you want it collected. Heavier, larger items tend to be more expensive to have removed. Whereas lighter, smaller items tend to be cheaper and anything that is in great condition with no stains or wear and tear may well be collected for free. All that said, the best way to find out how much it will cost to have your furniture removed is to create a listing and see what offers you receive. There is no charge or commitment to create a listing and receive quotes. So, if you just want to check prices, then cancel…no problem.

• How to reduce your collection price

  There are a few things you can do to get the best price for your furniture removal. If possible, list your furniture on a weekday and choose 'Anytime' for collection. This helps because most collectors in London tend to be active during the week and 'anytime' gives them more flexibility to fit your collection into their schedule. It's also helpful to have good photos (a short video too), a clear description and an appealing title. 'Almost new, perfect condition wardrobe' sounds much better than 'Big old wardrobe'. Finally, make sure your items are easily accessible because removal teams prefer items that can be loaded quickly.

• How to get your furniture reused

  Reuse is always the best outcome for unwanted furniture. Here are some tips to help improve the chances that will happen. First, provide several pictures of the item from different angles and with good lighting. Second, include detailed dimensions so the reuser can work out whether it will fit in to their property. A reuser would be within their rights to say no thanks if there's a big stain they didn't know about - so remember to disclose! Third, highlight any stains or damage in your description or confirm there are none. Lastly, if possible, give some background behind why you are getting rid of your item. This will add credibility and appeal to your listing.

• Is a fire label needed?

  When you donate upholstered furniture to charity, you need a fire label. For health and safety reasons, charities are not legally allowed to resell upholstered furniture without a fire retardant label. However, you do not need a fire label when you as an individual give furniture directly to another individual. So not to worry if there isn't one to be found!
