Barnet · NW11 · Mattress and bed disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Golders Green fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide mattress and bed disposal in Golders Green NW11 for houses and flats around Hampstead Garden Suburb. From £45, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Golders Green, mattress and bed disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 55% of Golders Green's 7,269 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in NW11 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
Step 1
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
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
Divan bases and bunk frames come apart where they will not pass a stair turn or a communal lift door whole.
Step 4
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
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
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. Golders Green (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, measured on the walk in from Golders Green (Northern) rather than assumed from a map in NW11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Golders Green stock goes, where 45% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Registered waste carrier. Mattresses go to a permitted site that strips springs for scrap steel and foam for recycling rather than a standard landfill cell, and a waste transfer note is issued for every collection.
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. Garden Suburb Trust rules on frontages, narrow service lanes and a busy bus station gyratory.
Fixed prices
| 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. |

The guys arrived prompt at 9 am . Sorry I’m rubbish at names but I remember the one guys initials were AB . He really worked hard . Both guys were very polite and were happy to pop back up the stairs to finish dusting the bedrooms surfaces that were missed . Not one moan… Read in full →
The cleaners Constantin and arrived in time and never stopped until the work was completed to the best of their ability. I would recommend a more upgraded carpet cleaner as I was hoping for a hot steam cleaner to penetrate areas or heavy foot traffic on the carpet. They never gave up until the look… Read in full →

Working in Golders Green
7,269 households sit inside the NW11 neighbourhood covering Golders Green. The build is inter-war, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 55% of those homes are flats.
Because 49% of Golders Green is privately rented and 6% socially rented, a lot of NW11 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, measured on the walk in from Golders Green (Northern) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in NW11. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Golders Green stock goes, where 45% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.
Golders Green is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — kosher bakeries, the crematorium and Hampstead Garden Suburb next door — which is why a NW11 quote is not a Barnet average.
On access, garden Suburb Trust rules on frontages, narrow service lanes and a busy bus station gyratory — one reason 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.
