Safes Are Specialist Work. General Removal Companies Won't Take Them.

A safe that once gave you security can quickly become a 300kg problem. Standard removal firms refuse them. Skip hire companies won't take them. And attempting to move one without specialist equipment risks serious injury and damage to your floors, walls and stairwells.

We handle what others won't:

• Safes weighing up to several tonnes
• Floor safes, wall safes, vault doors and deposit units
• Safes in upstairs rooms, basements and tight corridors
• Safes where the combination has been lost or the lock has failed
• Commercial vaults being decommissioned
• Estate clearances and probate removals

Whether you are relocating, downsizing, settling an estate or simply clearing an old safe off your premises — we handle everything from the first phone call to final disposal.

How Our Safe Removal Service Works

1. Call or request a quote Tell us the safe type, location and access situation. We will give you a fixed price — no hidden charges for difficult access or extra weight.
2. We survey if needed For larger or more complex removals — basement vaults, upstairs rooms, heavy commercial units — we carry out a free survey to plan the lift safely.
3. Our engineers arrive fully equipped Our team arrives with specialist lifting equipment, safe trolleys, floor protection and a vehicle rated for the weight. No improvising, no damage.
4. Safe removed, site left clean We disconnect, extract, load and leave your site clean. If you want the safe relocated to a new address rather than disposed of, we handle that too.
5. Responsible disposal or redelivery Unwanted safes are responsibly disposed of through licensed waste carriers. Safes in good condition may be assessed for our reconditioned safe programme. Relocation to a new address? We deliver and reinstall.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can you remove a locked safe where the combination has been lost?
  Yes — this is one of the most common situations we deal with. Our engineers are trained locksmiths who can open safes non-destructively in most cases, or drill as a last resort. We will advise you on the best approach before starting work.
• How quickly can you remove a safe?
  For standard removals we can typically schedule within 5–7 working days. For urgent requirements, call us directly on 0800 373943 and we will do our best to accommodate you.
• Do you remove floor safes that are set in concrete?
  Yes. We have the equipment to cut out floor-mounted safes and make good the surrounding area. We assess this during the survey and factor the work into your fixed quote.
• What happens to the safe after you remove it?
  Safes in poor condition are responsibly disposed of through licensed waste carriers. Safes still in good working order may be assessed for our reconditioned safe programme. If you want the safe moved to another address, we handle full redelivery and reinstallation.
• Can you remove a safe from an upstairs room?
  Yes. We carry stair-climbing trolleys and load-spreading boards to protect floors throughout the extraction. For any safe above 150kg upstairs, we carry out a free pre-survey to plan the lift safely.
• Do you remove safes anywhere in the UK?
  We operate UK-wide with teams based across the country. Call us to confirm coverage for your area and we will allocate your nearest team. You can also find your local office here.
• How much does safe removal cost?
  Every safe removal is different — cost depends on the weight of the safe, its location (ground floor, upstairs, basement) and how difficult the access is. Call us on 0800 373943 for a fixed quote. Most quotes take under 5 minutes.
