Call-out fee: £49 — covers our team travelling to you. Item prices are on top.
Wardrobes, desks, shelving units, cabinets — when it's time for old furniture to go, getting it out of the house is the hard part. In Dorchester, mix of period townhouses and Poundbury new builds often mean navigating narrow hallways and doorways across Poundbury, Fordington and Prince of Wales. We disassemble simple flat-pack items and carry everything out for you. County town of Dorset. Mix of professionals, retirees, and families. Poundbury is a modern planned development with new-build homes. We regularly help with bedroom clear-outs, office furniture swaps, and whole-room refreshes. If the furniture is in good condition, we'll donate it to local charities rather than sending it to waste.
Clearing a room? Add a sofa (£65), mattress (£40), or bags of rubbish (£12/bag) while the van's there

Your furniture + call-out = £84 total. A half load is £179 — just £95 more to clear the whole room.
Dorset Council's bulky waste service covers furniture at £30 for 1 item, £10 per additional item (max 6). But each item counts separately — a wardrobe, desk, and bookcase would be three items. Online booking only. Items must be at the property boundary. Maximum 6 items per booking. You'll wait up to 4 weeks and need to move everything to the kerbside yourself.

Dorchester Recycling Centre accepts furniture (1.0 mile from Dorchester). You'll need to disassemble large items to fit in your vehicle, and a van or trailer requires a permit. Dorset address proof required. For most wardrobes and large items, professional collection is more practical than multiple car trips.
Fordington has narrow streets. Poundbury has wide, well-planned access. Town centre properties can be tricky for large items due to narrow doorways. For furniture removal, please empty wardrobes, drawers, and shelves before we arrive — we're collecting the furniture, not the contents. Town centre has pay-and-display and limited short-stay. Poundbury has ample parking. Residential areas have mostly on-street.
From £35. Same-day collection available.
Furniture removal in Dorchester starts from £35 per piece. Wardrobes, desks, shelving units, cabinets — all the same starting price. Multiple items? Add each one for a discounted rate.
We can take apart simple flat-pack items (IKEA-style wardrobes, shelving units). Complex built-in furniture or heavy solid wood pieces may need to come out as-is or be prepared beforehand.
Yes — reusable furniture in decent condition goes to local charities in the Dorchester area. We'll assess condition on arrival and donate whatever we can.
Ground floor is included. Upstairs collection is usually possible for a small extra charge — let us know when booking so we can plan the right crew.
Wardrobes, desks, tables, chairs, bookshelves, cabinets, dressers, sideboards, TV units, drawers — if it's a piece of furniture, we'll take it.
