Prepare your furniture for a smoother removal

Write an item-by-item inventory

Describe each piece and quantity, rather than calling the job “a room of furniture”. Include small cabinets and chairs as well as the largest items. Photographs can help show scale, but add measurements where a doorway or stair turn looks tight.

Empty furniture before removal

Check drawers, storage beds and cupboards for belongings you want to retain. Remove important documents and personal possessions, and keep them away from the collection pile. If you need help with contents as well as furniture, include those contents separately in the agreed scope.

Check how the piece comes apart

A flat-pack wardrobe, a divan and a solid timber cabinet need different preparation. Tell us about detachable sections and any dismantling required. Do not assume fitted units or wall fixings can be removed within a routine furniture booking; explain the actual work first.

Measure the route through the property

Look at the narrowest opening, not just the front door. Include stair turns, landings, shared corridors and garden gates. If the furniture was assembled inside, say so. A large piece may require a different plan even when its original delivery seemed straightforward.

Identify fragile or heavy features

Mention mirrored doors, glass shelves, stone tops, electric recliner parts and heavy solid timber. Keep loose pieces secure and tell us about damaged edges. Do not attempt an unsafe lift or take apart a mechanism you do not understand merely to prepare for collection.

Keep removal separate from delivery

This service concerns unwanted furniture being removed as waste. It does not automatically include moving retained furniture to another address, assembling replacements or installation. If a new delivery is coming, allow room and time for both arrangements and avoid relying on an unconfirmed collection.

Agree changes before the visit

If you sell a piece or decide to add another unit, contact us with the updated inventory. Changed volume, weight or dismantling work may affect the quote. Mark the furniture that stays, clear the carrying route and have somebody authorised available to identify the correct pieces.

Removal, donation or a skip?

If furniture is suitable for a charity or somebody you know, arrange that first if you want it reused. Acceptance and collection depend on the recipient, so do not assume an unwanted piece will qualify for donation.

For furniture you have decided to dispose of, compare a loaded collection with council options or a suitable skip service. Check accepted items and loading responsibilities, particularly for upholstered seating and mattresses.

Clitheroe furniture access: the details to include

For properties around Church Street, Castle Street, Wellgate and Lowergate, the route out may include a shared passage or entrance serving upper floors. Explain which doorway is used for the large pieces and where safe loading can take place.

Use the full BB7 postcode and describe your individual property. Castle Hill is useful local context, but it does not tell us the width of a gate, the distance from parking or whether a vehicle can turn on a private drive.

Plan a furniture collection that matches the actual room

Before requesting collection, count the individual pieces rather than the number of rooms. A dining set may include a table, six chairs and a sideboard, while a bedroom may contain a mattress, bed base, frame, drawers and a wardrobe. List the components you want removed and mark anything staying. Include furniture stored elsewhere in the property if it forms part of the same job.

For tall or heavy furniture, measure the item and its route out. Note any stair turn, low ceiling, narrow door, tight landing or communal corridor. A piece assembled in the room may need dismantling to leave. Describe solid timber, stone tops, mirrors, glass panels and unusually heavy fittings so the handling can be considered. Photograph awkward points if you need help explaining them, without putting yourself at risk.

The quote depends on the furniture, quantity, access and requested work. Empty drawers and cupboards, remove possessions you are keeping and explain whether the furniture is already dismantled. If you need the team to take an item apart, request that in advance. Dismantling is different from removing fitted units or making changes to the building; do not assume all three are included in a furniture-removal booking.

If your furniture is suitable for donation or resale, arrange that route before booking waste collection and confirm whether the receiving organisation can actually take it. Do not assume every collected piece will be donated. For a booked removal, agree the final list with the person meeting the team, keep the route clear and notify Scrappa if the items or access change. A clearly scoped visit is more useful than an optimistic item estimate.

Frequently asked questions

Can I book one wardrobe?

Yes. Include its size, location and whether it is assembled, fitted or freestanding.

Are chairs counted separately?

Give the number of chairs alongside the table so the complete set is included.

Can you remove fitted cupboards?

Describe the fixings and work needed before booking. Do not assume building work is included.

Should I empty drawers?

Remove retained belongings first. If the contents also need collecting, include them in the booking.

Can furniture be collected upstairs?

Describe the floor and full exit route so suitable access and work can be assessed.

Do you guarantee reuse?

No. Arrange a specific donation separately if that is your preference; waste routes depend on the item.
