Help Us Furnish a Fresh Start
At Squosh Social, our goal is simple - To give good-quality furniture a second life and support people who genuinely need it and to make sure items are safe, clean and ready for reuse.
If you’re ever unsure if we can take your item, send us a photo. We’re always happy to advise.
Ensuring a Safe Start for Every Family
While we aim to rescue as many items as possible, we have a responsibility to ensure that every piece of furniture we redistribute is safe, legal, and ready to use. For these reasons, there are certain items we unfortunately cannot accept.
These items include:
Upholstered Furniture Without a Fire Safety Label
For safety reasons and to comply with UK regulations, we can only accept sofas, armchairs and padded items that have a valid fire safety label attached. If the label has been removed, unfortunately, we won’t be able to collect the item.
Water-Damaged or Mould-Affected Furniture
We’re unable to accept items that have:
- Been exposed to flooding
- Visible mould
- A strong, damp smell
- Swollen or weakened wood
These items can pose health risks and are not suitable for reuse.
Items Beyond Practical Repair
We love rescuing furniture — but we’re not a disposal service. Sadly, we can’t collect items that are:
- Structurally unsafe
- Severely broken
- Missing key parts
- Heavily damaged beyond reasonable repair
If it wouldn’t be suitable in your own home, it likely won’t be suitable for someone else’s.
Non-Working Electrical Items
For safety reasons, we’re unable to accept electrical goods that:
- Do not work
- Have damaged wiring
- Cannot be safely tested
Heavily Soiled or Infested Items
We’re unable to accept furniture with:
- Heavy staining
- Strong odours
- Significant tears
- Signs of pests or infestation
We want every item we redistribute to be safe, clean and dignified for the person receiving it.
