Cost of Leicester furniture removal

When it comes to the cost of furniture collection, several factors come into play: the type of furniture, what sort of condition it is in, and how quickly you want it collected. Generally, larger and heavier furniture items tend to be more expensive to remove, while smaller and lighter ones are cheaper. If your furniture is in genuinely good condition with no signs of wear or tear, you might find somebody to take it for free! If you'd like to get a free, no obligation quote, all you need to do is create a listing. You can check the prices you're offered and, if you want, cancel - no problem.

How to get the best collection price

If you have the flexibility, list your furniture on a weekday and choose ‘Anytime’ as your collection date. Weekdays are when most collectors in Leicester tend to be active and ‘anytime’ offers them the most opportunity to fit your collection into their routes. Make sure your listing has good photos (ideally with a short video), a clear description and as attractive a title as possible. For example, ‘Old sofa’ is unlikely to get as much interest as ‘Lovely, almost new sofa’. Lastly, make the junk as easily accessible as you can. Removal teams much prefer things that can be loaded quickly.

How to increase likelihood of reuse

Here are some tips to maximise the chance of your item being reused. Provide several photos of your item from different angles with clear lighting. Include its dimensions in your description and details of any wear and tear, stains or other imperfections that a potential new owner would want to know. You don't want a reuser to change their mind at collection because of something that wasn’t fully disclosed in the listing! Lastly, adding the story behind your reason for disposal can really add credibility and make your listing more appealing. For example, are you moving abroad or just had a baby, so no longer have space? Let people know!

Does my furniture need a fire label?

A fire label, or fire retardant label, is required when donating upholstered furniture to charity. This is because it is unlawful for charities to sell on upholstered furniture without it being fire safe. However, this legislation does not apply if one person gives some furniture to another person. So, if your item doesn't have a label, it's fine to donate it to someone else via LoveJunk.
