Brent · NW10 · Mattress and bed disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Harlesden fitters · Fixed written pricesHarlesden NW10 is a regular stop on our Brent round. Jubilee Clock, Caribbean food shops and a working high street, so mattress and bed disposal here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £45, in writing, with insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
This page prices mattress and bed disposal for Harlesden NW10 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 41% privately rented and 5,538 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Brent permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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 often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the reality on the streets around The Jubilee Clock in NW10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — with 35% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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. Very busy high street with short loading bays; side streets are narrow and permit-only.
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. Harlesden (Bakerloo, Overground) is the nearest station, so a NW10 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 Harlesden
Census 2021 puts Harlesden at 5,538 households with a median age of 35.8. The mainly Victorian stock is renter-heavy, which is why 22% houses and 78% flats need different handling in NW10.
Owner-occupation runs at 24% in Harlesden, so alongside the 41% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the reality on the streets around The Jubilee Clock, so the fixing that matters in Harlesden is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — with 35% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Two streets can behave very differently in Harlesden: jubilee Clock, Caribbean food shops and a working high street. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Harlesden is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Very busy high street with short loading bays; side streets are narrow and permit-only. Nearest station is Harlesden (Bakerloo, Overground), and 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.

Single mattress, any type starts at £45 in Harlesden on this side of Brent, with 78% of homes here being flats, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Mattress size and whether the base comes too in Harlesden, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van on Brent bookings, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood, 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 this side of Brent, with this being London Borough of Brent territory. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Harlesden most weeks in this 78% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the Harlesden rounds, with this being a short walk from Harlesden (Bakerloo, Overground).
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Brent bookings. With 78% of Harlesden homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Harlesden rounds, with 34% one-person households here — and this being a short walk from Harlesden (Bakerloo, Overground), so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
All three. With 41% of Harlesden privately rented and 24% owner-occupied, roughly half the NW10 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in Harlesden — and 22% of Harlesden homes being houses, with 78% of homes here being flats.
The Jubilee Clock is the marker we route to on this side of Brent, with 5,538 households on this patch, and very busy high street with short loading bays; side streets are narrow and permit-only. A NW10 slot added to an existing Brent round usually lands the same week rather than the next on NW10 jobs, with 34% one-person households here.
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 on NW10 jobs — and this being a short walk from Harlesden (Bakerloo, Overground), with 35% social-rented stock nearby. Harlesden sits close to Harlesden (Bakerloo, Overground), with 24% owner-occupation locally, so we can usually add a NW10 job to an existing Brent round at short notice on the Harlesden rounds.
