Make Your Move Day Easier
Moving house is stressful enough without trying to manhandle a fully-built king-size bed frame down the stairs at 7am. Get it dismantled the day before and you're already ahead.
💡 Pro tip: Most removal companies charge £50-80 per hour. If I spend an hour dismantling before they arrive, you've just saved an hour of their time. This service often pays for itself.
Why Bother Dismantling?
Because some furniture physically won't fit through your doorways when built. And even if it would fit, it's risky.
| ✅ Properly Dismantled | ❌ Trying to Move Built |
|---|---|
| Fits through any doorway | Stuck halfway down the stairs |
| Protected from damage | Corners get bashed and scratched |
| Removal crew can work fast | Everything takes three times as long |
| Fixings all bagged up | Screws lost forever in the van |
What Gets Taken Apart
🔧 Common Disassembly Jobs

| Dining tables | Legs removed, leaves separated | 15-30 mins |

Based on £60 minimum (first hour) + £50/hr after. I'll give a better estimate once I know what needs doing.

Good to Know
> 📦 **Already got movers booked?** Let them know furniture will be dismantled. They'll often give you a discount or quicker time estimate. **Need reassembly at the new place?** Book it at the same time. I'll have fresh memory of how everything went together, plus all my notes. **Flat-pack furniture from years ago?** Some old flat-pack doesn't come apart well (cheap particle board strips out easily). I'll advise if anything looks risky before touching it.
Frequently Asked Questions about Furniture disassembly for moving in Dawlish
Why would I need furniture disassembled before moving?
Big stuff like wardrobes and bed frames often won't fit down stairs or around corners when built. Taking them apart makes the move faster and safer. Plus, removal companies charge by the hour - if your furniture's already dismantled when they arrive, you save money.
What furniture typically needs taking apart?
Wardrobes, bed frames (especially king and super king), large desks, bookshelves, dining tables. Basically anything that's flat-pack originally or has removable parts. I can advise what needs doing when I see it.
What happens to all the screws and fixings?
I bag them up and tape them to the relevant piece, or put them in a labelled freezer bag. Nothing worse than trying to rebuild a wardrobe with mystery screws at the other end.
Can you disassemble furniture on moving day?
Yes, but book early morning so I'm done before the van arrives. Better to do it the day before though - one less thing to stress about on the actual move day.
Do you reassemble at the new house too?
Yes - that's a separate booking, but doing both is common. I already know how your furniture goes together, so reassembly at the other end is usually quicker.
