Single item clearance
One bulky item. Collected from where it is.
Need an old sofa, mattress, wardrobe or appliance gone? Send us a photograph and tell us where the item is. We will confirm whether we can collect it and give you a clear quote before booking.
When One Item Is Too Much to Move Yourself
You may not need a full clearance. You may just have one thing that is heavy, awkward, upstairs or too large for the car. We can collect agreed items from inside the property, so you do not have to drag them to the kerb first.
Replacing furniture: Remove the old sofa, bed or wardrobe before the new one arrives.
Moving or downsizing: Clear the last bulky item that is not coming with you.
Helping a relative: Arrange collection when they cannot lift or move the item themselves.
Clearing a rental property: Remove an unwanted item left behind between tenancies.
Making space: Get rid of the exercise bike, broken appliance or furniture that is taking up a room.
Avoiding a tip run: Arrange collection when the item will not fit safely in your vehicle.

What Affects the Price?
A single-item quote is based on the actual collection, not just the name of the item. A small armchair by the front door is a different job from a sofa bed in an upstairs room.
Item type and size: Large, heavy and specialist items take more handling and may have higher disposal costs.
Location in the property: Stairs, narrow hallways, lifts and long carrying distances affect the work involved.
Dismantling: If an item needs taking apart to leave the property, this must be agreed before booking.
Access and parking: Tell us about steps, restricted parking, communal entrances and anything blocking the route.
Disposal requirements: Mattresses, upholstered seating, fridges and electrical items may need specific waste routes.

Common Questions
How much does single-item clearance cost?
The price depends on the item, size, weight, disposal route, location inside the property, access and travel. Send a photograph and access details for a clear quote.
Do I need to put the item outside?
No, not where inside collection has been agreed. Tell us exactly where it is and describe the route out before booking.
Can you collect from an upstairs room?
Often, yes, provided the item can be moved safely through the available route. Send photographs of the item, stairs and any tight doorways.
Can you dismantle a wardrobe, bed or sofa?
Dismantling may be possible but must be agreed in advance. Tell us whether the item came apart before and send photographs so the work can be included in the quote.
Can you disconnect an appliance?
The item should normally be safely disconnected, emptied and ready to move before collection. Plumbing, gas and electrical disconnection may require a qualified tradesperson.
Can you take a fridge or freezer?
Potentially, yes. It must be empty and defrosted, and the size and location must be provided before quoting. Large or commercial units need separate assessment.
Can you take a mattress?
Potentially, yes. Send the mattress size, its location and access details. Mattresses require a specific disposal route, which is reflected in the quote.
Can you collect a sofa?
Potentially, yes. Send a photograph, approximate size, number of sections and details of the route out. Sofa beds, recliners and corner sofas can be heavier and more involved to move.
Can you collect a piano or safe?
These are specialist heavy items and cannot be treated as an ordinary single-item collection. Send full details so we can tell you whether collection is possible or a specialist is needed.
What if the item is still usable?
Tell us about its condition. A charity, reuse group or resale route may be the better option. Where a practical reuse route is available to us, we will consider it.
Is council bulky-waste collection cheaper?
It may be. Council services are often a good option if your item is accepted, you can move it to the required outdoor collection point and the available date works for you. Our service is aimed at people who need collection from inside or more help with access.
Can you collect more than one item?
Yes. Send photographs of everything. We will quote for the full collection rather than treating it as a single-item job.
How quickly can you collect?
That depends on the item, location, disposal route and current availability. Tell us about any deadline and we will confirm what is realistic.
How do I know the item will be handled legally?
Householders must use an authorised waste carrier. Ranskill House Clearance’s registration details should be shown on the website and paperwork once confirmed.
