Carpet Disposal Services in London
Old carpet and underlay collected after uplift, cutting, rolling and access requirements have been agreed.
Same-day slotssubject to availability
Weight awareness
Wet or dense flooring can be much heavier than it looks.
Property access
Stairs, lifts and long carrying distances are planned.
Service details
Carpet is easier to handle when it is prepared correctly.
Carpet disposal can include rolled carpet and underlay from homes, rental properties and small refurbishment projects. Tell us whether the flooring has already been lifted and how many rooms or rolls are involved.
Wet, contaminated or adhesive-covered material is heavier and may require different handling. Gripper rods, loose blades and sharp fixings must be removed or made safe.
Practical details
The collection plan begins before the carpet reaches the van.
Long rolls may not turn through communal halls or stairwells. Cutting into manageable sections can help, but only use suitable tools and work safely.
Carpet uplift is different from collection. If you need the team to lift fitted carpet, agree this explicitly before the appointment.

Service-specific FAQ
Questions about carpet disposal.
01Do you remove fitted carpet from the floor?
Uplift may be possible only when agreed in advance. A collection-only booking assumes the carpet is prepared.
02How should carpet be prepared?
Keep it dry, roll it securely and divide very long sections into manageable sizes.
03Can you collect underlay?
Yes, underlay can usually be assessed when bagged or rolled separately.
04What about gripper rods?
Remove or bundle them securely and cover sharp points; disclose them before collection.
05Can wet carpet be collected?
It requires prior assessment because water adds substantial weight and contamination may change the route.
06Can you collect from an upstairs flat?
Yes where stairs, lifts, turns and carrying distance have been described and are safe.
