Overview
Mattress and bed disposal in Petts Wood BR5, explained
This page prices mattress and bed disposal for Petts Wood BR5 specifically: inter-war stock, 8% privately rented and 2,972 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Bromley permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How mattress and bed disposal works in Petts Wood
Five steps, the same on every BR5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls on these streets — the pattern behind 2,972 households inside the BR5 neighbourhood 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 Petts Wood customers book us
What follows is specific to Petts Wood: its walls, its access and the paperwork Bromley agents ask for.
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. Driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays.
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. Petts Wood (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Petts Wood walls, not generic walls
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside, and driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays in BR5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Petts Wood gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, the reality on the streets around The Willett Memorial Wood.
Fixed prices
Mattress and bed disposal prices in Petts Wood
Fixed prices for BR5 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 Petts Wood
The same scope across BR5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Bromley bookings: two crew who carry from the bedroom — nothing has to be dragged to the front door first, allowing for the 8% of BR5 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Bed frames and divan bases unscrewed and broken down where a stair turn or lift will not take them whole, noted on the Petts Wood job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Petts Wood: mattresses wrapped for the carry so a stained or worn unit does not mark the stairwell or hallway, timed against the walk in from Petts Wood (Southeastern)
- On BR5 jobs: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, with our carrier registration number on it, agreed on the doorstep in Petts Wood before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Bromley bookings: springs, foam and fabric separated for recycling at a site permitted to strip mattresses, with 2,972 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Same-day and next-morning slots so a new bed delivery is never held up by the old one still being in the room, checked on every BR5 visit
Not included
- Mattresses soaked through with bodily fluid contamination requiring a biohazard route rather than standard disposal, quoted separately if you need it arranged in BR5
- Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses, which need pest control treatment before collection can proceed safely, outside the fixed price on Petts Wood bookings
- Fitting or assembling a replacement bed, which is booked separately as a flat-pack or bed-assembly visit, handled by London Borough of Bromley 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 Petts Wood

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 →

Petts Wood BR5 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Petts Wood — the numbers that actually change a mattress and bed disposal quote.
In Petts Wood (BR5) the split is 8% flats to 92% houses over 2,972 households, and the stock is inter-war.
With 8% private renting against 90% owner-occupied, most BR5 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Petts Wood substrates run to cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside, and driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Petts Wood gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, the reality on the streets around The Willett Memorial Wood is the mistake that costs a BR5 customer twice.
A planned 1930s commuter suburb with a conservation-area shopping parade. That character decides the practical detail of mattress and bed disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Petts Wood is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays. Petts Wood (Southeastern) is the nearest station, 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.

Mattress and bed disposal in Petts Wood BR5 — your questions.
How much does mattress and bed disposal cost in Petts Wood BR5?
Single mattress, any type starts at £45 in Petts Wood on this side of Bromley, with a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Mattress size and whether the base comes too in this 8% flats neighbourhood, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van on Bromley bookings, with 2% social-rented stock nearby — and 8% of BR5 homes being privately rented, 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 Petts Wood BR5?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in Petts Wood, with this being a short walk from Petts Wood (Southeastern). We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Petts Wood most weeks around Petts Wood (Southeastern), with 8% of BR5 homes being privately rented.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Petts Wood?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on Bromley bookings, with The Willett Memorial Wood a few streets away.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Petts Wood doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in across BR5. With 8% of Petts Wood homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm around Petts Wood (Southeastern), with 92% of Petts Wood homes being houses — and 2,972 households on this patch, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
What is not included in mattress and bed disposal in Petts Wood?
Mattresses soaked through with bodily fluid contamination requiring a biohazard route rather than standard disposal; Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses — and a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood, which need pest control treatment before collection can proceed safely; Fitting or assembling a replacement bed, which is booked separately as a flat-pack or bed-assembly visit; Structural bed frames fixed to the wall or floor across BR5, with 2,972 households on this patch, which need a joiner rather than a clearance crew. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Petts Wood BR5 price you agree is the price you pay on the Petts Wood rounds, with 22% one-person households here.
Who books mattress and bed disposal in Petts Wood BR5 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 8% of Petts Wood privately rented and 90% owner-occupied, roughly half the BR5 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Petts Wood (BR5) addresses — and The Willett Memorial Wood a few streets away, with 8% of homes here being flats.
How quickly can you reach Petts Wood from your Bromley round?
The Willett Memorial Wood is the marker we route to on this side of Bromley, with Bromley parking rules in play, and driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays. A BR5 slot added to an existing Bromley round usually lands the same week rather than the next on BR5 jobs, with 8% of homes here being flats.
