Overview
Mattress and bed disposal in Holborn WC1, explained
This page prices mattress and bed disposal for Holborn WC1 specifically: post-war stock, 30% privately rented and 3,090 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
How mattress and bed disposal works in Holborn
Five steps, the same on every WC1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In WC1, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — which is why London Borough of Camden 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 Holborn customers book us
Four things decide whether a WC1 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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. Inns of Court gate access, weekday loading windows and listed staircases.
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. Holborn (Central, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a WC1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Holborn walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Holborn, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 3,090 households inside the WC1 neighbourhood in WC1, 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, as the Holborn stock goes, and with 30% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Mattress and bed disposal prices in Holborn
Fixed prices for WC1 and the rest of Camden. 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 Holborn
The same scope across WC1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Holborn: two crew who carry from the bedroom — nothing has to be dragged to the front door first, timed against the walk in from Holborn (Central, Piccadilly)
- On WC1 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 Holborn before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Camden bookings: mattresses wrapped for the carry so a stained or worn unit does not mark the stairwell or hallway, allowing for the 30% of WC1 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 Holborn job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Holborn: springs, foam and fabric separated for recycling at a site permitted to strip mattresses, the way it is done on Holborn jobs
- On WC1 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 95% 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, handled by London Borough of Camden or a specialist contractor instead
- Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses, which need pest control treatment before collection can proceed safely, which we refer on to the right trade in Holborn
- Fitting or assembling a replacement bed, which is booked separately as a flat-pack or bed-assembly visit, quoted separately if you need it arranged in WC1
- Structural bed frames fixed to the wall or floor, which need a joiner rather than a clearance crew, outside the fixed price on Holborn bookings

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 →

Holborn WC1 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Holborn — the numbers that actually change a mattress and bed disposal quote.
3,090 households sit inside the WC1 neighbourhood covering Holborn. The build is post-war, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 95% of those homes are flats.
With 30% private renting against 18% owner-occupied, most WC1 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Holborn substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Holborn, often with surface conduit, the pattern behind 3,090 households inside the WC1 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Holborn stock goes, and with 30% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a WC1 customer twice.
Legal London — the Inns of Court, Lincoln's Inn Fields and Sicilian Avenue. That character decides the practical detail of mattress and bed disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Holborn sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, inns of Court gate access, weekday loading windows and listed staircases — 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 Holborn (Central, Piccadilly).

Common questions
Mattress and bed disposal in Holborn WC1 — your questions.
How much does mattress and bed disposal cost in Holborn WC1?
Single mattress, any type starts at £45 in Holborn, with 30% of WC1 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 Camden, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van on WC1 jobs, with 5% of Holborn homes being houses — and Lincoln's Inn Fields 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 Holborn WC1?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the streets near Lincoln's Inn Fields, with 95% of homes here being flats. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Holborn most weeks for Holborn (WC1) addresses, with Camden parking rules in play.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Holborn?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Holborn (Central, Piccadilly), with 30% of WC1 homes being privately rented.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Holborn doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Camden. With 95% of Holborn homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in Holborn — and 30% of WC1 homes being privately rented, with Lincoln's Inn Fields a few streets away, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
How quickly can you reach Holborn from your Camden round?
Lincoln's Inn Fields is the marker we route to around Holborn (Central, Piccadilly), with 3,090 households on this patch, and inns of Court gate access, weekday loading windows and listed staircases. A WC1 slot added to an existing Camden round usually lands the same week rather than the next in Holborn, with 42% one-person households here.
Is same-day or evening mattress and bed disposal available in Camden?
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 Holborn — and Camden parking rules in play, with 5% of Holborn homes being houses. Holborn sits close to Holborn (Central, Piccadilly), with 51% social-rented stock nearby, so we can usually add a WC1 job to an existing Camden round at short notice around Holborn (Central, Piccadilly).
Do you handle difficult access in Holborn?
Inns of Court gate access, weekday loading windows and listed staircases across WC1. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Camden it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on this side of Camden, with 18% owner-occupation locally — and Camden parking rules in play.
