Furniture we take away in Harefield
Getting a sofa out of a Harefield house can mean a cottage doorway by the green, a terrace near Harefield Hospital, or a long carry down a gravel drive to where the van can stand on a narrow lane. Every job comes with two crew as standard, and we plan the carry before we arrive.
Upholstered pieces are priced by the piece and its size, all-in. An armchair is £65 and a 2-seater £95 if they are outside when we arrive; carried out of the house, they come to £95 and £125. The carry is one £30 charge per job however many pieces there are, and a furniture van load is £375, carrying included.
Harefield has the tip on its doorstep, and it takes furniture — but you need a vehicle to get it there, as there is no pedestrian access, and the council’s bulky crew will only collect from your boundary. The sofas and mattresses we take go for the specialist disposal upholstery needs, and that is already inside the price.
Hillingdon’s bulky waste collection covers UB9 too: £53 a slot, £39 if you are over 65 and £94 for landlords, and each slot covers up to six items. It collects from the boundary only — out at ground level by 6am, with nothing fetched from a house or an outbuilding — and it refuses garden waste, rubble, building and DIY waste, tyres and hazardous items, which rules out much of what a big Harefield plot produces. Booking is Monday to Friday, on the next free date. For a few ordinary pieces you can get out to the front yourself, it is cheaper than us; our bulky waste guide lists what it takes.
Harefield has the borough’s tip on its doorstep: the Harefield Civic Amenity Site on New Years Green Lane (UB9 6LX), open seven days from 8am to 4pm with last entry at 3.45pm, and closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. It is free with a HillingdonFirst card, but there is no pedestrian access, a van needs two forms of ID and is limited to 12 visits a year, it takes household waste only, and it will not take a tree trunk or a branch thicker than 20cm. If the load fits in your car and you have the card, it is the cheapest answer going. Our Harefield tip guide has the details.

Quick answer
Sofa removal in Harefield is priced by the piece and its size. A 2-seater is £95 if you put it outside for us, or £125 if we carry it out of any room — same or next day, upstairs flats included. A 3-seater is £105 or £135, a corner sofa £125 or £155, an armchair £65 or £95, a mattress £75 or £105. Extra pieces on the same visit add their own fee, not another call-out: a sofa plus a mattress together comes to £120 outside or £150 carried out. Every price is all-in — the POPs disposal fee is already included, and nothing is added on the day.

Priced by piece and size. Each price is one piece on its own. More than one piece on the same visit? Add them up and take £50 off for each extra piece — a 2-seater plus a mattress comes to £120 outside or £150 carried out; a three-piece suite (a 3-seater and two armchairs) comes to £135 or £165. Carrying it out adds £30 per job — any room, any floor, stairs and no-lift flats included: about 20 minutes of our £89/hr two-person crew, the same whether it is a 2-seater from the front room or a corner sofa down two flights. Every price is all-in: the specialist POPs disposal that upholstered furniture legally needs is already inside the figure, and nothing is added on the day.
Sofa and mattress disposal in Harefield — your questions answered
Can you carry a sofa down a long drive to the lane?
Yes. Two crew carry it from wherever it sits to wherever the van can stand, gravel and gates included. Mention a long carry or a narrow lane when you book so we plan for it.
What does a recliner or a sofa bed cost to collect?
A recliner is £95 kerbside and a sofa bed £120; carried out, they are £125 and £150. The mechanisms make them heavier than an ordinary sofa, which is why they are priced separately.
Will the council take a sofa from Harefield?
From your boundary, yes — £53 a slot (£39 over 65) for up to six items, out at ground level by 6am. The crew does not come inside, so it only helps if you can get the sofa out yourself.
Can I take a sofa to the Harefield tip?
If you have a vehicle big enough, yes: it is free with a HillingdonFirst card, and there is no pedestrian access. A van visit counts toward the 12-a-year cap and needs two forms of ID in the driver’s name.
How soon can you collect in UB9?
Usually the same day. We are a short run from Uxbridge and work 7am to 10pm, seven days a week including bank holidays. Send a photo of the piece and where it is for a fixed price.
Where we collect furniture near Harefield
We are based in Uxbridge (UB8) and cover Harefield seven days a week. As well as UB9 we work across Denham, Ickenham, Northwood, Rickmansworth and Chorleywood, and the lanes in between.
What the price includes — and what it doesn't
The most common complaint about clearance companies is a price that grows once the van is loaded. So here is the whole of ours, before you book, including the parts that cost extra.
Included in the price we quote
No line of this is billed separately afterwards.
- Labour — the crew, the carrying and the loading.
- The van, the fuel, ULEZ and the congestion charge — London charges are ours, not yours.
- Disposal and recycling of the load — the tipping cost is inside the price.
- Access from anywhere on the property — any room, up or down stairs, or out of the garden.
- VAT — the price you are shown is the price you pay.
- Waste transfer paperwork for your load, on request — so your duty of care is documented.
Priced separately, or not carried at all
Told to you up front, never discovered on the invoice.
- Upholstered seating and mattresses carry their own disposal fee, because the law forces them down a more expensive route than the rest of your load. The amount is on our pricing page before you book.
- Hazardous items — paint, chemicals, asbestos, tyres and gas bottles cannot travel in a general load and need a specialist route. We will tell you which one.
- Fridges, freezers and electricals have a separate WEEE route — flag them when you book so we arrive with the right van.
- Anything flammable, explosive, illegal, or alive — we cannot carry it, and we will say so before the day.
If there turns out to be more than we quoted for, you hear the new price before anything goes in the van — not once it is loaded, and not on the invoice. The same goes for access: tell us when you book if your street is permit-only or on a red route, or if the job is above the third floor with no lift, and we plan for it instead of pricing round it on the day.
What happens to your waste after we drive away
Most clearance companies stop this story at the word "recycled". Here is the actual route your load takes, including the part of it that nobody advertises.
It goes in by hand
Everything is carried out and loaded by the crew — from the room, the garden or the kerbside. What is in the load matters, because what is in it decides where it is legally allowed to go.
Sorted, not buried
The load goes to a licensed transfer station or recycling centre, where it is separated by material. It is not tipped straight into a hole in the ground.
Recovered by material
Metal, wood, cardboard, textiles and electricals are pulled out for recycling or recovery. Green waste is composted.
The bit nobody advertises
Upholstered furniture cannot be recycled at all. Since January 2023 the Environment Agency presumes every domestic sofa, armchair and padded dining chair contains persistent organic pollutants, so it must be kept apart from other waste and incinerated — never landfilled, never shredded for reuse. That law, not a markup, is why soft seating carries its own fee. Whatever is genuinely left after sorting goes to energy recovery.
- Metal
- Wood
- Cardboard & paper
- Textiles
- Electricals (WEEE)
- Green waste
We do not publish a recycling percentage. You will see "90% diverted from landfill" on a lot of clearance websites. The sorting happens at the transfer station, after our van has left, and we are not going to take credit for a figure we cannot evidence. What we can give you is the route your load takes and the paperwork for it — and if you want to check who handles it, ask us to identify the registered carrier for your collection and verify them on the Environment Agency public register before we load.
Proof, not adjectives
Anyone can type "trusted" and "reliable" onto a website. These are the things about us you can actually check.
We are a small London crew, not a national booking platform, and we are not going to pretend otherwise: we have 27 five-star reviews on Google and 3 on Yell. That is all of them. Every one is public, unedited and one tap away — which is worth rather more than a five-figure review count you have no way of reading.
