Furniture & Bulky Item Removal

Some rubbish fights back: the three-seater sofa that will not fit through the door, the washing machine dead in the laundry, a bed base too heavy to drag, or a fridge that finally gave up. Rollerskips removes furniture and bulky items from Christchurch homes — we carry the heavy things out so you do not have to risk your back, your walls, or your Saturday.

What we shift

Sofas and couches, armchairs, beds and mattresses, dining tables, wardrobes and drawers, desks and office chairs, fridges, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, and old TVs and entertainment units. If two people struggle to lift it, it is exactly the kind of job to hand over. We also take the packaging and leftover bits when new furniture arrives — the old one out, the boxes gone, the room usable again.

How a pickup works

Call 0800 475 500 and tell us what is going and where it sits — upstairs, down a narrow hall, or out the back makes a difference to planning. We bring the manpower and the gear: straps, trolleys, and blankets to protect doorways. You do not need to dismantle anything first, though pulling drawers out of dressers and emptying fridges beforehand speeds things up. We load, sweep the space, and the item is gone the same visit.

Mattresses and whiteware

Mattresses are awkward rather than heavy, and they do not compress — measure stairwells and doorways and mention tight corners when booking. Fridges and freezers need doors secured and contents removed; chest freezers should be defrosted if possible. Washing machines often still hold water, so a towel underneath saves the floor on the way out.

Reuse before rubbish

Items with life left in them deserve a second home. Clean, working furniture can go to charity shops or community groups, and working whiteware often finds takers online. What cannot be reused — broken frames, stained mattresses, dead appliances — is broken down so metals, motors, and recyclable parts are recovered before the rest is disposed of. Tell us the condition honestly and we will route each item sensibly.

One call, gone

From a single armchair to a full house-lot of furniture, Rollerskips makes Christchurch bulky item removal a one-call job: no trailer hire, no tip queues, no strained backs.
