Overview
Mattress and bed disposal in Friern Barnet and New Southgate N11, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around New Southgate, mattress and bed disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 47% of Friern Barnet and New Southgate's 4,005 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in N11 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How mattress and bed disposal works in Friern Barnet and New Southgate
Five steps, the same on every N11 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In N11, Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions — and with 25% one-person households in Friern Barnet and New Southgate, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Tell us size and floor
Single through super king, mattress only or with the base, and whether there is a lift. That is enough for a fixed price with no change on the day.
Step 2
Fixed written quote
The gate fee for a mattress is higher than ordinary bulky waste because it cannot be compacted, so this is shown as its own line rather than folded into a vague total.
Step 3
Dismantle the base first
Divan bases and bunk frames come apart where they will not pass a stair turn or a communal lift door whole.
Step 4
Wrap and carry
The mattress is wrapped before it leaves the room, protecting the stairwell and keeping the load hygienic for the crew and for you.
Step 5
Weigh in and receipt
Taken to a site permitted to strip mattresses for scrap steel and foam recycling, with the transfer note emailed the same day.
Why choose us
Why Friern Barnet and New Southgate customers book us
Four things decide whether a N11 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Crew sized to the job
Two crew and a Luton on a standard mattress and base; the same crew dismantles bunk frames and storage divans on site before the carry. Gated estate access codes at Princess Park Manor; driveways elsewhere.
Booked around your day
Same-week across every borough, with next-day slots common where a new mattress delivery is already booked and the old one has to be out of the room first. New Southgate (Great Northern) is the nearest station, so a N11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Friern Barnet and New Southgate walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, and gated estate access codes at princess park manor; driveways elsewhere in N11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Friern Barnet and New Southgate, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, and with 30% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Mattress and bed disposal prices in Friern Barnet and New Southgate
Fixed prices for N11 and the rest of Barnet. Mattress size and whether the base comes too, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van, so the tip gate fee is charged per unit rather than by volume — that is why the price step between sizes is smaller than on other bulky items.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single mattress, any type | £45 | 20–30 min | Mattresses do not compact, so the van still fills at the same rate as a much bulkier item — the tip charges a flat gate fee per mattress regardless of size. |
| Double or king mattress | £55 | 20–30 min | A wider mattress needs two carriers on most stairwells rather than one, which is the labour cost behind the size step. |
| Divan base or bed frame, per item | £40 | 20–30 min | Divan bases are often heavier than the mattress on top and usually need unscrewing from the headboard first. |
| Mattress and base together | £75 | 30–45 min | Priced as a pair rather than two singles, since both come off the same room in the same carry. |
| Bunk bed or divan with drawers, dismantled | £90 | 40–60 min | Bunk frames and storage divans have to be taken apart before they will fit through a standard door or down a stair turn. |
| Multiple mattress collection, 3+ units | £35/item | By volume | Discounted per unit for landlords, letting agents and student blocks clearing several rooms in one visit. |

Scope
What's included in Friern Barnet and New Southgate
The same scope across N11, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Friern Barnet and New Southgate: two crew who carry from the bedroom — nothing has to be dragged to the front door first, timed against the walk in from New Southgate (Great Northern)
- On N11 jobs: bed frames and divan bases unscrewed and broken down where a stair turn or lift will not take them whole, agreed on the doorstep in Friern Barnet and New Southgate before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Barnet bookings: mattresses wrapped for the carry so a stained or worn unit does not mark the stairwell or hallway, allowing for the 30% of N11 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, with our carrier registration number on it, noted on the Friern Barnet and New Southgate job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Friern Barnet and New Southgate: springs, foam and fabric separated for recycling at a site permitted to strip mattresses, the way it is done on Friern Barnet and New Southgate jobs
- On N11 jobs: same-day and next-morning slots so a new bed delivery is never held up by the old one still being in the room, with 47% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
Not included
- Mattresses soaked through with bodily fluid contamination requiring a biohazard route rather than standard disposal, outside the fixed price on Friern Barnet and New Southgate bookings
- Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses, which need pest control treatment before collection can proceed safely, and we will say so before the N11 visit rather than on the day
- Fitting or assembling a replacement bed, which is booked separately as a flat-pack or bed-assembly visit, handled by London Borough of Barnet or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural bed frames fixed to the wall or floor, which need a joiner rather than a clearance crew, which we refer on to the right trade in Friern Barnet and New Southgate
