The Marketplace bargain, the showroom clearance find, the hand-me-down from your sister's flat: a sofa is the single most-moved piece of furniture in Britain. A vetted driver collects it, wraps it, and carries it through your door from about £70.
TowManVan sofa delivery costs about £70 cross-town: £35/hr small van, 2-hour minimum, with collection from any address, blanket wrapping, strapping and the carry into your room included. Corner sofas and recliners add a £12/hr second helper for the two-person lift. Same-day collection from private sellers and stores. Launching in 24 UK cities on 1st of October 2026.
Old sofa out, new sofa in - both legs can run in the same booking.
Fixed upfront prices. No membership fees. Live operator tracking across every postcode in UK.
The number-one job in this category. Share the seller's address and listing; the driver collects, wraps and delivers while you track the van. The seller's 'collection only' is no longer your problem.
Ex-display sofas sell cheap because stores want them gone today. Book the van for this afternoon, meet at the loading bay, and skip the store's two-week delivery queue.
Corner units, recliners and sofa beds carry serious weight and awkward geometry. Add the helper and two trained people share the lift - cheaper than a chiropractor or a plastering bill.
Basement flats, narrow Victorian halls, third-floor walk-ups. Put door and stair measurements in the notes and the driver plans the route - feet off first, cushions off, end-on through the frame.
Second-hand sofas are the best furniture bargain in the country - precisely because 'collection only' filters out every buyer without a van. Solving collection for about £70 turns a £200 Marketplace three-seater into a £270 sofa delivered to your room, against £900 new. The maths does itself.
Failed sofa deliveries are almost always geometry, not weight: the door, the hallway turn, the stair winder. Three numbers in the booking notes - door width, sofa depth without cushions, tightest corner - let the driver plan the carry before lifting, and tell you honestly if it will not go.
Every sofa travels blanket-wrapped and strapped upright against the van wall, covered by goods-in-transit insurance. Light-coloured fabric? Say so in the notes and the driver double-wraps - a cream sofa should arrive cream.
Everything about pricing, coverage and response times in UK.
Lock in the sofa before another buyer does. Book collection in 60 seconds - launching 1st of October 2026.
iOS and Android from the 1st of October 2026. No membership, no annual fee and no account charge. You only pay when you book a job.
The fixed price is shown before you confirm, not after the work. Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay are handled in-app, so no cash changes hands at the kerb.
Once a job is accepted you see the driver's name, vehicle and live position on the map, with an arrival time that updates as they travel.
Every operator is DBS checked, insured for hire and reward, and rated after each job. Prices are fixed before dispatch, never quoted as a range.
