Fitted wardrobe removal cost

We've just moved into a 1980s house and the main bedroom has floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes along one wall, mirrored doors, the lot. We want them gone before the decorator comes. What would removal and disposal cost? And we don't know either if we need to replaster first?

"It would depend a bit on the size and complexity but I would expect that to cost approximately £180 for the labour involved and around £50-100 for waste removal. Plastering would add to this ofcourse but I'm not a professional plasterer so couldn't give an estimate on that."

"I would imagine it would be round about 300/400 to dismantle and get rid of"

"All depends on size and it would more than likely just need light filling form where excess holes were but once again all depends on what's going on with the state of the walls prior to fitting of wardrobes"

"The wardrobes are usually screwed/fixed to the walls. I would simply rip them out and the painters will fill the small holes left behind."

"Removal and disposal would likely be around £250–£300, depending on the size and how the wardrobes are fitted. Once removed, we can check the wall and advise if any plaster repairs are needed before decorating."
