Camden · NW1 · Mattress and bed disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Camden Town fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for mattress and bed disposal in Camden Town NW1? We work in Camden Town most weeks — market crowds, canal-side stalls and Victorian terraces packed with shared houses and flats — and price mattress and bed disposal against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £45, insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
This page prices mattress and bed disposal for Camden Town NW1 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 43% privately rented and 2,940 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Camden 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
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. Camden Town (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, the pattern behind 2,940 households inside the NW1 neighbourhood in NW1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Camden Town gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 43% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Market congestion all weekend, seven-day CPZ and narrow streets where a Luton has to double-park with a marshal.
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 Camden Town
Camden Town NW1 is mainly Victorian and renter-heavy: 86% of homes here are flats and 14% are houses, across 2,940 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 43% private renting against 26% owner-occupied, most NW1 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Camden Town substrates run to often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, the pattern behind 2,940 households inside the NW1 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Camden Town gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, and with 43% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a NW1 customer twice.
Camden Town sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — market crowds, canal-side stalls and Victorian terraces packed with shared houses and flats — which is why a NW1 quote is not a Camden average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: market congestion all weekend, seven-day CPZ and narrow streets where a Luton has to double-park with a marshal. Camden Town (Northern) 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.
