More about this service
When it is part of a removal, we usually give a fixed quote for both. Complex wardrobes and office furniture are checked from photos or a survey first.
Taking furniture apart gets it round tight stair turns and through narrow doors. We dismantle beds, wardrobes and IKEA units carefully and rebuild them in the right rooms. Add it to house removals or flat removals.
Email photos of the furniture and say whether you need it reassembled. We reply with a clear price.
Giga Removals moves homes and offices across the UK from a London base, with clear quotes, insured crews and honest access advice.

Beds, wardrobes and flat-pack desks gain the most on tight stairs.
