Below shows examples of typical types of furniture that we have available at Furniture Plus Ltd.
We offer a free collection service from our professional team. Items will be carried out safely and securely from your property. If you require a complete House Clearance, we can assist you in this but will need to pass on some of our costs to you. Please click here for more information on this service.

The general rule when collecting items from you is that the driver has the final discretion as to what we can or can't accept. We will refuse items if:
- we would not have them in our own house (quality not style);
- there are any noticeable rips, tears, burns or other damage to upholstery;
- there is noticeable wood damage that would be un-economical to repair;
- they are items which we know we have great difficulty in passing on;
- there is a strong smell of smoke or animals.
- items are sticky or would take far too long to clean;
- they do not comply with the many regulations placed upon us of which the driver has all the details.
We do not like refusing items but if we cannot pass them on then we have to dispose of them for which we incur a cost. When refusing items, we will always give details of alternative ways that you may be able to have the items removed from your property.
With all this in mind, and considering that all the furniture in stock is second-hand, the majority is of a high standard. Some items do need a little bit of work but this is always reflected in the price.
Due to the nature of our work, the stock is constantly changing, so to avoid disappointment, drop in to see us Monday to Saturday 10am to 4pm.
