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
- Sofas, including corner sofas, modular sofas and sofa beds
- 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.
Sofa Dismantling and Reassembly in York
Sofa dismantling is often what gets a big sofa through a narrow York hallway, up a tight staircase or into a first-floor flat without damaging the sofa or the walls. Plenty of sofas are built to come apart, and taking the right parts off can make all the difference at a doorway.
- Legs and feet unscrewed to gain the extra few centimetres a doorway needs
- Backs and arms removed on sofas designed to come apart
- Corner and modular sofas split back into their sections and reconnected at the other end
- Sofa beds moved with the mechanism secured so it can't open in transit
Every fixing is bagged and labelled with its sofa, and we put it back together in the room you want it. Not every sofa is designed to come apart, so send us a photo and the make if you know it, and we'll tell you before the day whether it will go through.
Bought a new sofa? We can pick it up with our store collection service and get it into your home. If the old one is going, our house clearance and rubbish removal service takes it away.
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?

Taking Furniture Apart: Your Questions
Can you take a sofa apart to get it through a door?
Often, yes. Many sofas have legs, backs or arms that come off, and corner sofas split into sections. Send us a photo and the width of the narrowest doorway, and we'll tell you before the day.
Do you put the sofa back together after the move?
Yes. We rebuild it in the room you choose and check it's solid before we leave.
Do you put the furniture back together?
Yes. We'll rebuild it at your new home, as part of your move or as a separate booking.
Will you lose the screws?
No. Fixings are bagged and kept with each piece.
Can you dismantle a garden shed?
Yes, sheds, greenhouses and summer houses too.
