IKEA & marketplace furniture collection and delivery in West London
Buying furniture is easy; getting it home is the hard part. Whether it’s a flat-pack wardrobe from IKEA, a sofa from Facebook Marketplace or a dining set from eBay, most pieces won’t fit in a car — and stores and private sellers rarely deliver locally. Here’s how furniture collection and delivery works in Hayes and West London, so your purchase arrives in one piece and in the right room.
Why furniture collection needs more than a car
A single sofa, wardrobe or American fridge-freezer is heavier, bulkier and more awkward than it looks, and a scratch or tear on the way home is an expensive mistake. A proper collection uses the right-sized van, transit blankets and straps, and two people where the item or the stairs demand it — so the piece is protected from doorway to destination.
IKEA and store collections
If you’ve bought from IKEA (the nearest large stores to Hayes are around Wembley and Greenwich), a retail park near Lombardy Retail Park, or any showroom, we can collect your order and bring it to your door. Have your order reference and collection point ready, and tell us the largest item’s dimensions so we send a van that fits — a flat-pack wardrobe and a built sofa need very different space.
Facebook Marketplace, eBay and Gumtree pickups
Second-hand bargains are only a bargain if you can collect them. We pick up from private sellers across West London and the Thames Valley — you share the seller’s postcode and a photo of the item, we confirm the right van and crew, and we collect and deliver, often in a single run. Agree a collection window with the seller and make sure someone can help identify the item at the address.
Getting it into the right room
Delivery to the kerb isn’t much help with a wardrobe. Where access allows, we carry items to your room of choice, manage stairs and narrow entrances, and can take away your old piece or packaging at the same time. If you need the old sofa gone, we’re a registered waste carrier and can remove it responsibly with a waste transfer note.
Sizing the van and what it costs
The right vehicle depends on the item: a small van suits a single chair or boxed flat-pack, a long-wheelbase van handles a three-seater sofa or wardrobe, and a Luton box van with a tail lift takes tall or heavy pieces. Price depends on the vehicle, distance, floors and whether you need a second person — so rather than a fixed figure, send the item details and both postcodes for a clear quote before you book.

Frequently asked questions
Can you collect from IKEA or a store and deliver to me?
Yes. Share your order reference, the collection point and the largest item’s size, and we’ll bring a suitable van, collect and deliver to your door — and to your room of choice where access allows.
Do you collect Facebook Marketplace and eBay furniture?
Yes — we regularly collect second-hand furniture from private sellers across West London. Send the seller’s postcode and a photo of the item and we’ll confirm the right van and a quote.
Can you take my old sofa away at the same time?
Yes. As an Environment Agency registered waste carrier we can remove and dispose of the old item responsibly, with a waste transfer note, when we deliver the new one.
How much does single-item furniture delivery cost?
It depends on the item size, distance, access and whether two people are needed. Send the details and both postcodes and we’ll confirm a clear price up front.
