Overview
Mattress and bed disposal in Aldgate EC3, explained
This page prices mattress and bed disposal for Aldgate EC3 specifically: post-war stock, 48% privately rented and 4,914 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and City of London Corporation permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How mattress and bed disposal works in Aldgate
Five steps, the same on every EC3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In EC3, New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard — measured on the walk in from Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan) rather than assumed from a map 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 Aldgate customers book us
Four things decide whether a EC3 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. Aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking.
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. Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan) is the nearest station, so a EC3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Aldgate walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Aldgate, with metal stud partitions between rooms, the reality on the streets around The Gherkin at 30 St Mary Axe in EC3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Aldgate stock goes, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
Mattress and bed disposal prices in Aldgate
Fixed prices for EC3 and the rest of City of London. 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 Aldgate
The same scope across EC3, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Aldgate: two crew who carry from the bedroom — nothing has to be dragged to the front door first, timed against the walk in from Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan)
- On EC3 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 Aldgate before anything is unpacked
- Standard on City of London bookings: mattresses wrapped for the carry so a stained or worn unit does not mark the stairwell or hallway, allowing for the 48% of EC3 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 Aldgate job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Aldgate: springs, foam and fabric separated for recycling at a site permitted to strip mattresses, sized for the aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking
- On EC3 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, local mattress and bed disposal included
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 EC3
- Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses, which need pest control treatment before collection can proceed safely, outside the fixed price on Aldgate bookings
- Fitting or assembling a replacement bed, which is booked separately as a flat-pack or bed-assembly visit, and we will say so before the EC3 visit rather than on the day
- Structural bed frames fixed to the wall or floor, which need a joiner rather than a clearance crew, handled by City of London Corporation or a specialist contractor instead

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 →

Aldgate substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Aldgate, with metal stud partitions between rooms, the reality on the streets around The Gherkin at 30 St Mary Axe. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Aldgate stock goes, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a EC3 customer twice.
Eastern edge of the Square Mile where office towers meet Whitechapel's high street. That character decides the practical detail of mattress and bed disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Aldgate sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.

Common questions
Mattress and bed disposal in Aldgate EC3 — your questions.
How much does mattress and bed disposal cost in Aldgate EC3?
Single mattress, any type starts at £45 in Aldgate, with 48% of EC3 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 for Aldgate (EC3) addresses, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van in this 98% flats neighbourhood — and 4,914 households on this patch, with 2% of Aldgate homes being houses, 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 Aldgate EC3?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on EC3 jobs, with City of London parking rules in play. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Aldgate most weeks on the Aldgate rounds, with 2% of Aldgate homes being houses.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Aldgate?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in Aldgate, with 37% owner-occupation locally.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Aldgate doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on City of London bookings. With 98% of Aldgate homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 98% flats neighbourhood — and City of London parking rules in play, with 15% social-rented stock nearby, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Do you handle difficult access in Aldgate?
Aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking on City of London bookings. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in City of London Corporation it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on the Aldgate rounds — and 2% of Aldgate homes being houses, with 51% one-person households here.
Are your fitters insured for work in EC3?
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 on the Aldgate rounds, with 15% social-rented stock nearby — and 2% of Aldgate homes being houses, and a waste transfer note is issued for every collection. That paperwork is what most City of London letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat across EC3, with 48% of EC3 homes being privately rented.
What is not included in mattress and bed disposal in Aldgate?
Mattresses soaked through with bodily fluid contamination requiring a biohazard route rather than standard disposal; Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses around Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan) — and 37% owner-occupation locally, 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, with 48% of EC3 homes being privately rented, which need a joiner rather than a clearance crew. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Aldgate EC3 price you agree is the price you pay across EC3, with this being a short walk from Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan).
