Call-out fee: £49 — covers our team travelling to you. Item prices are on top.
Getting rid of an old sofa in Sherborne shouldn't mean wrestling it down the stairs and hiring a van. With honey-coloured stone buildings and period properties common across the area — from Castleton, Westbury and Oborne — narrow hallways and tight doorways are par for the course. We collect sofas of any size from your ground floor, load them onto our van, and take them away. Historic abbey town with excellent schools. Affluent market town popular with families and retirees. Strong community identity. That means we see everything from rental turnovers to family home upgrades. Reusable sofas go to local charities. Everything else is recycled responsibly — Sherborne is the most northerly town in TipRun’s area. The nearest recycling centre is 18 miles away in Blandford, making professional collection particularly appealing.
While the van's there: add a mattress (£40), bed frame (£35), or bags of rubbish (£12/bag)

Your sofa + call-out = £114 total. A half load is £179 — just £65 more to clear the whole room.

Blandford Recycling Centre is 18 miles from central Sherborne. You can take a sofa there, but you'll need a van or trailer — and that means applying for a free permit at least 5 working days in advance. Saturday mornings are the busiest time, so expect queues. Dorset address proof required. Most people find it easier to book a TipRun collection — we pick up from your door and save you the trip.
Historic abbey town with narrow medieval streets. Some properties have limited access for large vehicles. Modern areas on the edge have better access. For sofa removal specifically, please make sure we can get the sofa through your front door or have it outside ready. If the sofa came in through the door, it'll come out the same way. Town centre has car parks. Residential areas have on-street parking and some driveways.
From £65. Same-day collection available.
Sofa removal in Sherborne starts from £65. That covers collection from your ground floor, loading, and responsible disposal. Corner sofas and sofa beds are the same price.
Ground floor collection is included in the price. If your sofa is upstairs, give us a call — we can usually manage it for a small extra charge depending on the staircase.
If it's in decent condition, we donate it to local charities in the Sherborne area. Damaged or worn sofas are taken to licensed recycling facilities where materials are separated and recycled.
Yes — we cover all of Sherborne including Castleton, Westbury and Oborne. We're based in Poole, just 45 min away.
We offer same-day collection in Sherborne when slots are available. Book before noon for the best chance of a same-day slot. Next-day is almost always available.
