Overview
Mattress and bed disposal in Coulsdon CR5, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Coulsdon South, mattress and bed disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 22% of Coulsdon's 6,754 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in CR5 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How mattress and bed disposal works in Coulsdon
Five steps, the same on every CR5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings on these streets — and with 26% one-person households in Coulsdon, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site 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 Coulsdon customers book us
Four things decide whether a CR5 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. Steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street.
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. Coulsdon South (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Coulsdon walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick in Coulsdon, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street in CR5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Coulsdon gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, where 74% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
Mattress and bed disposal prices in Coulsdon
Fixed prices for CR5 and the rest of Croydon. 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 Coulsdon
The same scope across CR5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Croydon bookings: two crew who carry from the bedroom — nothing has to be dragged to the front door first, with 6,754 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Bed frames and divan bases unscrewed and broken down where a stair turn or lift will not take them whole, checked on every CR5 visit
- In Coulsdon: mattresses wrapped for the carry so a stained or worn unit does not mark the stairwell or hallway, sized for the steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street
- On CR5 jobs: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, with our carrier registration number on it, mattress and bed disposal prices included
- Standard on Croydon bookings: springs, foam and fabric separated for recycling at a site permitted to strip mattresses, allowing for the 12% of CR5 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Same-day and next-morning slots so a new bed delivery is never held up by the old one still being in the room, noted on the Coulsdon job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Mattresses soaked through with bodily fluid contamination requiring a biohazard route rather than standard disposal, and we will say so before the CR5 visit rather than on the day
- Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses, which need pest control treatment before collection can proceed safely, handled by London Borough of Croydon or a specialist contractor instead
- 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 CR5
- Structural bed frames fixed to the wall or floor, which need a joiner rather than a clearance crew, outside the fixed price on Coulsdon bookings

The cleaners Constantin and arrived in time and never stopped until the work was completed to the best of their ability.

Coulsdon CR5 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Coulsdon — the numbers that actually change a mattress and bed disposal quote.
In Coulsdon (CR5) the split is 22% flats to 78% houses over 6,754 households, and the stock is inter-war.
With 12% private renting against 74% owner-occupied, most CR5 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are solid London stock brick in Coulsdon, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, and steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street, so the fixing that matters in Coulsdon is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Coulsdon gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, where 74% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Downland village on the North Downs edge, with Farthing Downs above the town. That character decides the practical detail of mattress and bed disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Coulsdon 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: steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street. Coulsdon South (Southern) 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.

Common questions
Mattress and bed disposal in Coulsdon CR5 — your questions.
How much does mattress and bed disposal cost in Coulsdon CR5?
Single mattress, any type starts at £45 in Coulsdon around Coulsdon South (Southern), with 6,754 households on this patch, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Mattress size and whether the base comes too in Coulsdon, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van on this side of Croydon, with Croydon parking rules in play — and 6,754 households on this patch, 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 Coulsdon CR5?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in this 22% flats neighbourhood, with 26% one-person households here. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Coulsdon most weeks for Coulsdon (CR5) addresses, with 6,754 households on this patch.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Coulsdon?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in this 22% flats neighbourhood, with Croydon parking rules in play.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Coulsdon doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Croydon. With 22% of Coulsdon homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across CR5, with 12% of CR5 homes being privately rented — and 14% social-rented stock nearby, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
How quickly can you reach Coulsdon from your Croydon round?
Farthing Downs is the marker we route to on this side of Croydon, with Croydon parking rules in play, and steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street. A CR5 slot added to an existing Croydon round usually lands the same week rather than the next in this 22% flats neighbourhood, with 22% of homes here being flats.
Is same-day or evening mattress and bed disposal available in Croydon?
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 on the streets near Farthing Downs — and a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood, with Croydon parking rules in play. Coulsdon sits close to Coulsdon South (Southern), with 26% one-person households here, so we can usually add a CR5 job to an existing Croydon round at short notice for Coulsdon (CR5) addresses.
Do you handle difficult access in Coulsdon?
Steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street in Coulsdon. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Croydon it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on this side of Croydon — and a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Coulsdon South (Southern).
