Furniture Disposal in Vauxhall SW8 – High-Rise Flat Clearance on the 11th Floor

On Tuesday, 2nd September, our team completed a particularly challenging furniture disposal job for a client living in a high-rise property in Vauxhall, SW8 1GR. The booking was made last-minute at 12:30 PM, with the client requesting a same-day collection at 2:00 PM—just an hour and a half notice.

Thanks to our responsive scheduling, we were able to assign a nearby team, who arrived at the property by 2:10 PM.

What Was Collected

The client needed a flat clearance, which included:

  • 1 sofa
  • 1 TV stand
  • 1 double mattress
  • 2 bedside tables
  • 1 headboard
  • Several smaller household items

The job was based on the 11th floor of a building with lift access, which helped, but moving larger furniture pieces still required careful handling and coordination.

Navigating Access & Parking Challenges

While the building had a working lift, the access to the loading bay and street parking was quite limited. With some creative thinking and local knowledge, our team managed to find a suitable spot nearby—minimising delays and avoiding extra charges for the client.

The entire job was completed by 2:55 PM, taking around 45 minutes from start to finish.

Van Load & Pricing

The total waste removed filled roughly 1/3 of a large Luton box van, equivalent to a standard full load in a transit tipper van. The client was charged £290, which was paid on completion. As always, before and after photos were taken to document the amount removed and the cleared, tidy space left behind.
