A customer in Peacehaven, East Sussex, had two large, heavy sofas to get rid of and new ones arriving the next day. She had asked the council about its bulky waste collection, but was told the sofas would need to be outside the property, ready for collection. She could not move them out herself, so she needed a sofa removal service that would take them from inside the house, and quickly.
The problem: heavy sofas, a deadline and no way to carry them out
Council collections generally need items left outside. That does not work if you cannot lift them, and it does not work if a delivery is due tomorrow.
Two heavy sofas, a tight deadline and nobody at home able to carry them outside. The council option was ruled out by the rule that items must already be outside, and the delivery of her new sofas the next day meant she could not wait. Our comparison of council bulky waste and a man and van covers this difference in more detail.
What we did: same-day sofa collection
She contacted Right Turn Removals and we arranged a same-day collection. We arrived, carefully carried both large sofas out from inside the property and loaded them into the van. She did not have to lift or move anything herself.
The result: a clear room in 15 to 20 minutes
The whole job took around 15 to 20 minutes. The room was left completely clear and ready for the new sofas the next day.

Why a man and van suits a job like this
- Collection from inside: nothing has to be moved outside before we arrive.
- Quick turnaround: a short job can often be fitted in at short notice.
- No lifting for the customer: useful if you are older, alone or recovering from an injury.
- Works around a delivery: the old furniture is gone before the new arrives.
