Furniture removal prices
Below are our starting prices. We set the exact figure from the photos you send — so the price is known before we arrive.

All prices exclude VAT. The figures shown are starting prices — the final price is set by the volume, the floor, whether there is a lift and how much has to be dismantled.
Removing a single item in Riga starts at €30 excluding VAT, a mattress from €25, a sofa or bed from €35, a wardrobe from €40, a whole apartment's furniture from €90, dismantling from €15. The minimum order is €30. The final figure depends on the volume, the floor, whether there is a lift and how much has to be dismantled — we confirm the exact price from your photos.
What affects the price of furniture removal
Volume
The main factor, and it isn't just the number of items — how much space the furniture takes up in the van matters too. Three chairs take less room than one corner sofa, which is why a chair is the cheapest line on the price list.
Floor and lift
If there is no lift, or an item won't fit into it, everything goes down the stairs. The difference isn't linear: a long sofa in the narrow, winding stairwell of an old building can take more time than a wardrobe that has already been reduced to flat panels. We collect from upper floors with no lift too — but we need to know beforehand so the price is right.
Dismantling
Corner sofas, double beds and sliding-door wardrobes usually won't go through a flat door in one piece. Many were assembled in the room itself. Dismantling means working with tools: undoing screws, separating joints and the upholstered parts from the frame, and carrying the panels out in sections. Dismantling starts at €15. There is more on what happens to an assembled item in how furniture removal works.
Access
A narrow stairwell, a steep courtyard or a long distance to the van all add working time: if the van can't be parked at the entrance, every item has to be carried tens of metres further. Gated courtyards, where access requires a permit, matter too. If you know access is awkward, mention it in the notes on the form.
How your price is worked out
The specific figure for your situation comes together in three steps, and we can do all three remotely.
- What we look for in the photosFirst, the size of the item relative to the doorway — whether it will get out whole at all. Then whether it comes apart: are there visible screws and joints, or is the carcass a single glued unit. Then the condition: whether the upholstered parts are wet or falling apart, because that changes how the item can be gripped. And finally the count — how many items in total, and whether any of them needs two people.
- Floor and liftA photo won't tell us this, so we ask on the form. Knowing the floor and whether an item fits in the lift tells us how many times we'll be climbing the stairs.
- Access to the vanThe last stretch is from the building door to the van. If we can park at the entrance, that's a short walk; if not, a long one. Describe it briefly in the notes.
The result is a single figure, not a range — the price the crew turns up with.
When the price doesn't change
If what we find on site matches the photos and the floor and lift you gave us, the quoted price stays as it is — you know the figure before we arrive, not afterwards. The price can only change if there is something on site we didn't see: extra furniture that wasn't in the photos, a floor given wrongly, or a lift that turns out not to be working. In that case we tell you the new figure before we start, and you decide.
Why prices in this market vary so much
Search for furniture removal prices and you'll see figures that differ several times over. The reason usually isn't that one firm is expensive and another cheap — it's that the unit the price is calculated in differs:
A price per sofa, wardrobe or mattress — easy to compare if you know how many items you have.
A price per volume. Customers rarely know the cubic volume of their furniture, so an estimate made before the job may not match the reality.
If you have one mattress, you are probably paying for space you don't use.
You don't know the final figure until the work is done, and awkward access inflates it the most.
There is no price list at all — you find out the figure after someone has driven out to look.
To compare fairly, convert every quote to the same situation: your items, your floor, with or without a lift, with dismantling if it's needed. And ask whether carrying the furniture out of the flat is included — that is the most common place where two apparently similar quotes turn out to be different.
VAT changes the comparison
Every figure in our price list is exclusive of VAT, and we say so everywhere a number appears. Many published price lists don't state their VAT treatment at all — they never say whether the figure is with or without tax. So two figures can look almost identical and still differ on the final invoice. Always establish the VAT position first, and only then compare numbers.
Why there is a minimum order
The minimum order is €30. A call-out costs the same regardless of what we take away. The van and the crew travel to your address, find somewhere to park, go up, come down and take the load to the landfill. That work doesn't get shorter because the item is small.
So it is better value to combine several items into a single call-out. An old mattress, a broken chair and an empty shelving unit on one request will cost less than three separate orders. For prices on individual items, see mattress removal and sofa removal.
If you have just one small item and you're wondering whether it would be cheaper to handle it yourself, there's a comparison with hiring a van in do it yourself or hire a removal service.
What the price doesn't include
We remove furniture and hand it over for disposal, but we don't move it to another address. The price list doesn't cover construction waste, hazardous waste or tyres — we don't take those. If any of that is among the things to be removed, say so in your request so nobody wastes a call-out.

Frequently asked questions
No. Every price shown is exclusive of VAT. We say so plainly so the final figure isn't a surprise.
If what we find matches the photos and the floor and lift you gave us, the price doesn't change.
Dismantling starts at €15. It is usually needed for corner sofas, double beds and sliding-door wardrobes.
The minimum order is €30. That means removing a single small item is perfectly possible.
It starts at €90. The final price depends on the volume, the floor and how much has to be dismantled. Send photos from every room.
Because the market uses different units of measurement: per item, per cubic metre, per van load, per hour worked, or only after an on-site visit. Two quotes with a similar number can mean very different amounts of work.
We can give you the starting price from the price list, but not an exact figure. Without photos we can't see the size, the condition, or whether an item will go through the door in one piece.
