Overview
Mattress and bed disposal in Bromley BR1, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Bromley South, mattress and bed disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 44% of Bromley's 19,582 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in BR1 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How mattress and bed disposal works in Bromley
Five steps, the same on every BR1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In BR1, Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls — which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 Bromley customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Bromley wall.
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. Pedestrianised High Street with timed access; driveways on the residential roads.
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. Bromley South (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Bromley walls, not generic walls
We expect timber stud partitions inside in Bromley, cavity brickwork outside, the pattern behind 19,582 households inside the BR1 neighbourhood in BR1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Bromley stock goes, which is what a 44% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Bromley actually produces.
Fixed prices
Mattress and bed disposal prices in Bromley
Fixed prices for BR1 and the rest of Bromley. 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 Bromley
The same scope across BR1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Bromley: two crew who carry from the bedroom — nothing has to be dragged to the front door first, timed against the walk in from Bromley South (Southeastern)
- On BR1 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 Bromley before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Bromley bookings: mattresses wrapped for the carry so a stained or worn unit does not mark the stairwell or hallway, allowing for the 24% of BR1 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 Bromley job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Bromley: springs, foam and fabric separated for recycling at a site permitted to strip mattresses, the way it is done on Bromley jobs
- On BR1 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 44% 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, which we refer on to the right trade in Bromley
- Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses, which need pest control treatment before collection can proceed safely, quoted separately if you need it arranged in BR1
- Fitting or assembling a replacement bed, which is booked separately as a flat-pack or bed-assembly visit, outside the fixed price on Bromley bookings
- Structural bed frames fixed to the wall or floor, which need a joiner rather than a clearance crew, and we will say so before the BR1 visit rather than on the day

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 →

Bromley BR1 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Bromley — the numbers that actually change a mattress and bed disposal quote.
In Bromley (BR1) the split is 44% flats to 56% houses over 19,582 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 24% of Bromley is privately rented and 14% socially rented, a lot of BR1 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect timber stud partitions inside in Bromley, cavity brickwork outside, the pattern behind 19,582 households inside the BR1 neighbourhood behind the plaster in BR1. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Bromley stock goes, which is what a 44% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Bromley actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
The biggest town centre in south-east London, with the Glades and Church House Gardens. That character decides the practical detail of mattress and bed disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Bromley is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Pedestrianised High Street with timed access; driveways on the residential roads. Nearest station is Bromley South (Southeastern), 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.

Common questions
Mattress and bed disposal in Bromley BR1 — your questions.
How much does mattress and bed disposal cost in Bromley BR1?
Single mattress, any type starts at £45 in Bromley on this side of Bromley, with this being a short walk from Bromley South (Southeastern), and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Mattress size and whether the base comes too on BR1 jobs, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van on the streets near The Glades and Bromley Palace — and a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood, with The Glades and Bromley Palace a few streets away, 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.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Bromley BR1?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions across BR1, with 62% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Bromley most weeks on the streets near The Glades and Bromley Palace, with this being a short walk from Bromley South (Southeastern).
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Bromley?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in Bromley, with 19,582 households on this patch.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Bromley doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Bromley. With 44% of Bromley homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across BR1, with Bromley parking rules in play — and this being London Borough of Bromley territory, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
How quickly can you reach Bromley from your Bromley round?
The Glades and Bromley Palace is the marker we route to across BR1, with 14% social-rented stock nearby, and pedestrianised High Street with timed access; driveways on the residential roads. A BR1 slot added to an existing Bromley round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Bromley, with 56% of Bromley homes being houses.
Is same-day or evening mattress and bed disposal available in Bromley?
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 across BR1 — and 62% owner-occupation locally, with 19,582 households on this patch. Bromley sits close to Bromley South (Southeastern), with 62% owner-occupation locally, so we can usually add a BR1 job to an existing Bromley round at short notice on the streets near The Glades and Bromley Palace.
Do you handle difficult access in Bromley?
Pedestrianised High Street with timed access; driveways on the residential roads across BR1. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Bromley it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on this side of Bromley — and 19,582 households on this patch, with this being London Borough of Bromley territory.
