Office Furniture Removal Services

Sometimes you don't need a full office clearance — you just need the furniture gone. Whether you're replacing old desks, clearing out after a downsize, or removing a few items to make room, we collect office furniture across the UK with options for resale, recycling, donation and responsible disposal.

Just the Furniture

Office furniture removal is a lighter service than a full office clearance. It's specifically about the desks, chairs, storage units, meeting tables, reception furniture, and other items that furnish your workspace. We're not clearing IT equipment, confidential documents, kitchen contents or general waste — just the furniture.

This service is ideal when you're:

• Upgrading furniture — new desks and chairs coming in, old ones need to go
• Downsizing — fewer people, fewer desks. The surplus needs removing
• Reconfiguring — changing the office layout and some furniture no longer fits
• Closing a section — one floor or department is closing but the rest of the business continues
• End of lease — the landlord's furniture is staying, but your additions need removing

If you need everything cleared — furniture, IT, files, kitchen, general waste — see our full office clearance service instead.

What Affects Furniture Value

Not all office furniture is created equal. The resale value depends on four main factors:

Brand

Premium ergonomic brands hold their value best. A 5-year-old Herman Miller Aeron chair can still fetch £400–£600 on the secondary market. The same age generic task chair might be worth £5–£20 — or nothing. Brands that command the best resale prices:

• Task chairs: Herman Miller (Aeron, Mirra, Sayl), Steelcase (Leap, Think, Gesture), Humanscale (Freedom, Liberty), Orangebox
• Desks: Any quality sit-stand desk (especially Linak or Logicdata mechanisms), Herman Miller, Steelcase, USM
• Storage: USM Haller, Bisley, quality solid-wood pieces
• Meeting/lounge: Vitra, Fritz Hansen, Arper, Muuto

Age and condition

Furniture under 8 years old in good condition holds the most value. Light wear is acceptable — scuffed arm pads, minor fabric marks, small scratches on desks. Heavy wear (ripped fabric, broken mechanisms, significant damage) usually means recycling rather than resale. Chairs with full working gas lifts and tilt mechanisms are worth significantly more than those with faults.

Quantity

Larger quantities are more attractive to trade buyers. A single chair is harder to sell than 50 matching ones. If you have 20+ of the same item, the per-unit value is typically higher because buyers can resell matching sets more easily.

Accessibility

Ground floor with loading bay access? Easy. 8th floor with no goods lift? That affects the collection cost, which may offset any resale value. We factor access into every quote.

Your Options

When we collect your furniture, it goes one of four ways — and we'll tell you upfront which route each item is likely to take:

Resale

Quality items in good condition are sold through our network of trade buyers, furniture dealers and online channels. Revenue is either paid to you directly or offset against your collection costs. For high-value items (premium task chairs, sit-stand desks, designer pieces), resale is almost always the best option.

Donation

Furniture that's in good usable condition but doesn't have significant resale value — standard desks, filing cabinets, meeting chairs — can be donated to charities, social enterprises, schools and community organisations. This is excellent for your ESG credentials and often tax-efficient.

Recycling

Items that can't be reused are broken down for materials — metal frames, plastic components, wood. We work with specialist recycling facilities to maximise material recovery. Recycled items contribute to your landfill diversion rate.

Disposal

A small percentage of furniture genuinely can't be reused or recycled — heavily damaged items, certain composite materials, contaminated pieces. These go to licensed waste facilities with full Duty of Care documentation.

How It Works

1. Tell us what you have — a quick description and photos (via our enquiry form) or use the furniture valuation tool for an instant estimate
2. We provide a quote — for larger quantities, we'll visit for a free on-site valuation. You'll get a clear breakdown: what we'll buy, what we'll donate, what we'll recycle, and the net cost (or payment) to you
3. We collect — our team disassembles, wraps and loads everything. Items for resale are handled carefully to preserve value. We coordinate with building management for access
4. You get documentation — waste transfer notes for any disposed items, and an ESG impact report showing the environmental outcome

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell my office furniture instead of disposing of it?

Yes — quality office furniture from brands like Herman Miller, Steelcase, Knoll, Humanscale and Vitra holds good resale value. We buy furniture directly or sell through our trade channels, with proceeds offset against your removal costs. Use our free furniture valuation tool for a quick estimate.

What furniture brands hold the best resale value?

Premium ergonomic brands retain the most value: Herman Miller (Aeron, Mirra, Sayl chairs), Steelcase (Leap, Think, Gesture), Humanscale (Freedom, Liberty), Knoll, and Vitra. Quality sit-stand desks from any brand also hold value well. The key factors are brand, age, condition, and quantity.

What is the difference between furniture removal and full office clearance?

Furniture removal is specifically the collection and disposal of office furniture — desks, chairs, storage, tables. Full office clearance covers everything in the premises including IT equipment, filing, confidential waste, kitchen contents and general rubbish. If you only need furniture removed and the rest of the office is staying or being handled separately, furniture removal is the right service.

Can you collect furniture from multiple floors?

Yes. We handle multi-floor furniture collections regularly, including buildings without goods lifts. For high-rise buildings, we coordinate with building management for lift access and floor protection. Multi-floor collections take longer and may cost more, but we include this in our fixed-price quote.
