Furniture dismantling in York costs £58 an hour for two people from 8am to 7pm, and £68 an hour after 7pm. We take apart beds, wardrobes and other big pieces before the van is loaded, bag and label every fixing, and get everything ready to move, with no lost screws.
Furniture dismantling in York, done properly before the van is loaded. We go through the house and take apart the beds, wardrobes and other big pieces, bag and label the fixings, and get everything ready to load. No crawling round the floor, no lost screws, and no flat-pack tantrums.
Why Take Furniture Apart Before a Move?
A wardrobe in pieces takes a fraction of the space of a wardrobe standing up. Taken apart, furniture loads more tightly, which can mean a smaller van or fewer trips, and that saves you money.
It also protects your home. Big pieces taken apart fit through narrow doorways and up tight stairs without scraping the walls. We do the loading too, so nothing gets dragged.
Furniture We Dismantle
- Bed frames, bunk beds and cots
- Wardrobes, chests of drawers and dressing tables
- Desks, filing cabinets and home office furniture
- Shelving and display cabinets
- Sheds, greenhouses and summer houses
We've taken apart hundreds of different pieces, so we know how to do it without splitting wood, stripping screws or losing fixings. See some of our work on Instagram.
Dismantled at One End, Rebuilt at the Other
On our house removals service, beds and wardrobes are taken apart and rebuilt as part of the move. For more than that, or for a standalone job, book the dismantling service and we'll put it all back together at the new place with our flat-pack assembly team. Taking furniture apart for an office?
