Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Crayford fitters · Fixed written pricesMattress and bed disposal for Crayford (DA1) households — 9,135 of them, 28% in flats. From £45 fixed, 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 Insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Crayford, mattress and bed disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 28% of Crayford's 9,135 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in DA1 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
We expect solid London stock brick in Crayford, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — measured on the walk in from Crayford (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map in DA1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — the pattern behind 9,135 households inside the DA1 neighbourhood.
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. Wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way.
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. Crayford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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. |

Scope
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 Crayford
Walk Crayford from Crayford Greyhound Stadium outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 28% of the 9,135 households in DA1 live in flats, 72% in houses.
Private renting sits at 16% and owner-occupation at 57%; the first group books mattress and bed disposal at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect solid London stock brick in Crayford, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — measured on the walk in from Crayford (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in DA1. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — the pattern behind 9,135 households inside the DA1 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Crayford: the Cray river, the greyhound stadium and retail parks on the Dartford border. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Crayford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way — 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. Fitters travelling in use Crayford (Southeastern).

Single mattress, any type starts at £45 in Crayford in this 28% flats neighbourhood, with 16% of DA1 homes being privately rented, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Mattress size and whether the base comes too on this side of Bexley, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van in Crayford, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood — and 9,135 households on this patch, 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.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the Crayford rounds, with Bexley parking rules in play. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Crayford most weeks for Crayford (DA1) addresses, with 28% of homes here being flats.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for Crayford (DA1) addresses, with Crayford Greyhound Stadium a few streets away.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Bexley bookings. With 28% of Crayford homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Crayford rounds — and this being a short walk from Crayford (Southeastern), with 26% social-rented stock nearby, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
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 in this 28% flats neighbourhood — and Bexley parking rules in play, with Crayford Greyhound Stadium a few streets away.

Wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way on Bexley bookings. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Bexley it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on the Crayford rounds — and this being London Borough of Bexley territory, with this being a short walk from Crayford (Southeastern).
