Furniture Removals & Transport in Ireland

Need to move a sofa, bed, wardrobe, table or cabinet? Local Movers provides transport for agreed furniture items between homes, apartments, storage facilities and other arranged addresses.

From one bulky item to several rooms of furniture, we plan around the item dimensions, collection and delivery access, and any preparation needed before loading. Request a local furniture move or an inter-county transport assessment.

Send an item list, photos, both Eircodes and your preferred date. Bookings are subject to item suitability, access, route and availability.

Furniture we can assess for transport

Furniture removal starts with understanding the individual items, not just their names. Size, construction, condition and the route through each property all affect the handling requirements.

Sofas and armchairs

Request transport for sofas, armchairs and modular seating. Share the overall dimensions and explain whether any sections or legs can be removed.

Reclining mechanisms, corner sections and narrow doorways should be flagged before booking.

Beds and mattresses

Moving support for agreed mattresses, bed bases, headboards and bed frames. Tell us whether the frame will already be dismantled or whether you want disassembly assessed.

Storage beds and adjustable beds may need additional information about their construction.

Wardrobes and bedroom furniture

Transport for suitable wardrobes, chest-of-drawers units, bedside tables and dressing tables.

Include details of mirrored doors, loose components and whether a wardrobe is freestanding or fitted. Removal of fitted furniture is not assumed to be included.

Dining tables and chairs

Arrange transport for dining tables, chairs and selected dining-room furniture.

Send dimensions and identify glass tops, stone surfaces, extension sections or detachable legs so the item can be assessed properly.

Cabinets, sideboards and shelving

Request a move for cabinets, sideboards, bookcases and suitable shelving units.

Flag glass panels, loose shelves, unstable joints or existing damage. Particularly delicate pieces may require a different preparation plan.

Desks and home-office furniture

Transport for agreed desks, office chairs and freestanding home-office storage.

Explain whether the furniture is assembled, dismantled or attached to the property. Larger business relocations should be discussed as a commercial move.

Unusually heavy items, antiques, pianos, safes and specialist equipment require separate assessment. They are not assumed to be covered by a standard furniture-removal booking.

Furniture moving support for different situations

You do not need to be moving an entire household to enquire. Tell us which furniture is moving, where it needs to go and whether other people or locations are involved.

Single-item furniture moves

Arrange assessment for one sofa, bed, wardrobe or another agreed item that cannot be transported in your own vehicle. Item size and access determine the practical requirements.

Several pieces of furniture

Move a selected furniture list without booking a full household removal. Include every piece in your enquiry, including chairs, removable sections and loose components.

Furniture between homes

Transport furniture to a new home, rental property or an agreed family address. Let us know who will provide access and accept delivery at each property.

Furniture into or out of storage

Request collection from a home or storage unit and delivery to the agreed destination. Share storage access hours, loading arrangements and unit location.

Purchased or gifted furniture

Discuss collection of agreed furniture from a private seller, shop or family home. Confirm the item is ready for release and provide a collection contact.

Multiple delivery addresses

When furniture is going to more than one destination, send the full address list and identify which items belong at each stop. Extra stops must be agreed in the booking.

Planning the route from room to vehicle

A furniture item may fit inside a room but still be difficult to move through the doorway, hallway or staircase. Share access information for both properties before confirming transport.

Doors, hallways and staircases

Provide photos of narrow doors, tight turns, landings and stairs. Include the dimensions of large furniture and any obvious restricted openings.

If an item may need dismantling to pass through the building, discuss that before booking. External lifting, window removal and building alterations are not assumed to be included.

Upper floors and lift access

Tell us the floor level at collection and delivery, whether a suitable lift is available and whether building management requires a reservation.

Share lift dimensions and access restrictions where relevant. Large furniture cannot be assumed to fit simply because the building has a lift.

Parking and carrying distances

Identify a suitable loading position at each address. Flag parking restrictions, gates, underground height limits and long paths between the vehicle and property.

The carrying distance and available access are part of the job assessment, particularly for bulky furniture.

Protection and delivery placement

Discuss the preparation and protection appropriate to the agreed furniture. Glass, polished surfaces, upholstery and detachable components may have different requirements.

Confirm the intended delivery room and floor level. Carrying an item upstairs or reassembling it at delivery should not be assumed unless agreed.

Does your furniture need disassembly?

Some furniture can be transported assembled; other pieces may need legs, frames or sections removed. The appropriate approach depends on the furniture construction and access at both addresses.

Request disassembly or reassembly when enquiring. Send photographs and any available assembly information so the suitability and scope can be reviewed.

Discuss Your Furniture Move

Details to flag in advance

Flat-pack furniture already assembled
Loose joints or previous repairs
Mirrored doors and glass panels
Missing fittings or assembly instructions
Furniture fixed to walls or floors
Powered or reclining mechanisms
Whether reassembly is requested at delivery

Disassembly is not suitable for every item. Existing condition and construction may limit what can be practically undertaken.

How your furniture removal is arranged

Clear item information and an agreed access plan help establish what is included before collection.

Send the furniture details

Share the item list, photos, dimensions, both addresses and preferred date. Flag delicate parts, unusual weight and any stairs or difficult access.

Agree the service scope

Confirm the items, collection arrangements, delivery location and any additional preparation tasks. Review the quote and booking terms before confirming.

Prepare for collection and delivery

Have the furniture ready for the agreed service, arrange access at both addresses and confirm who will be available to receive the items.

How much does furniture removal cost?

A furniture-removal quote depends on the items being moved, the journey and the handling required at collection and delivery.

One large wardrobe on an upper floor may involve different arrangements from several chairs collected at ground level. An accurate furniture list and access details give us the information needed to assess your job.

Tell us about changes to the item list, destination or access arrangements before the move so the agreed scope can be reviewed.

Preparing furniture for collection

Confirm the preparation expected for your booking. If you need help with a task, discuss it in advance rather than assuming it will be included on arrival.

Before the furniture is moved

Confirm which items are included in the booking and separate them from furniture that is staying.
Empty drawers, cupboards and storage compartments unless a different arrangement has been agreed.
Flag loose shelves, removable components, glass sections and existing damage.
Confirm who will handle any agreed dismantling and how fittings will be kept with the correct item.
Discuss suitable preparation for mattresses, upholstery and delicate surfaces.
Do not dismantle unfamiliar mechanisms or fixed installations solely to prepare for transport; raise the requirement during assessment.

At collection and delivery

Arrange access with the owner, seller, landlord or storage facility where applicable.
Confirm that purchased furniture is paid for and authorised for release.
Share lift bookings, gate codes and loading restrictions before the move.
Keep the agreed route clear of loose belongings.
Confirm the destination room and floor level for each item.
Ensure an agreed contact is available at each address to provide access and receive delivery.

Furniture transport, not an assumed disposal service

This service is for transporting agreed furniture to an arranged destination. Removing an item from a home does not automatically include disposal, recycling, donation arrangements or storage rental.

If furniture is going to a shop, charity, family member or storage unit, confirm that the recipient or facility has accepted it and will provide access. Any additional service must be discussed and confirmed separately.

Furniture removals FAQs

Answers to common questions about furniture transport, preparation and access.

Can you move just one piece of furniture?

You can request a move for one sofa, bed, wardrobe, table or another agreed item. Send photos, dimensions, both addresses and access details so we can assess the transport and handling requirements.

Can you move several furniture items without a full house move?

Yes, you can enquire about a selected furniture list rather than an entire household. Include every item and any separate sections so the quote can reflect the complete agreed load.

Do you dismantle and reassemble furniture?

Disassembly and reassembly of suitable furniture can be requested for assessment. These tasks are not automatically included in transport. Send photos, construction details and any available instructions, and confirm the agreed tasks before booking.

What if the furniture will not fit through the door?

Send the furniture dimensions and photos of the doorway, hallway, stairs and alternative access before booking. Suitable dismantling may be possible, but not every item can be moved through every property. External lifting or building alterations are not assumed to be part of the service.

Can you carry furniture upstairs?

Upper-floor moves require assessment of the item, floor level, staircase and lift access. Share photographs of restricted stairs and landings. Upstairs collection or delivery must be included in the agreed scope and depends on practical, suitable access.

Can you collect furniture from a private seller or shop?

Collection from an agreed seller or shop can be discussed. Confirm the furniture is ready for release, arrange the collection window and provide a contact. Purchasing, paying for or inspecting the item on your behalf is not assumed to be included.

Can you move furniture into or out of storage?

You can request transport to or from an agreed storage facility. Provide the unit location, access hours, loading arrangements and item list. Storage rental and facility access must be arranged separately unless explicitly included in your booking.

Can you transport glass cabinets or delicate furniture?

Delicate furniture needs advance assessment. Send photographs and identify glass panels, mirrors, loose shelves and existing damage. Acceptance and preparation depend on the item construction and access; specialist pieces may require a different service.

Is furniture removal the same as furniture disposal?

No. This page describes transport of furniture to an agreed destination. Disposal, recycling and donation arrangements are not automatically included. Tell us the intended destination and confirm any separate requirements before booking.

What information do you need for a furniture-removal quote?

Send an item list, photos, dimensions of bulky pieces, collection and delivery Eircodes, floor levels, stairs or lift details, parking information and your preferred date. Include any requested disassembly, reassembly, storage transfers or additional stops.
