Overview
Mattress and bed disposal in Ealing W5 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Ealing, most of them mainly Victorian. 18,588 households sit inside this W5 patch, 63% of them flats, so we quote on access near Ealing Studios and Walpole Park rather than a London average.
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
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Ealing, with metal stud partitions between rooms — the pattern behind 18,588 households inside the W5 neighbourhood in W5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in W5, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — and with 41% 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. Broadway loading windows, permit bays on the villa streets and booked lifts in new blocks.
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. Ealing Broadway (Elizabeth line, Central, District) is the nearest station, so a W5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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. |

Scope
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 Ealing
The W5 stock around Ealing Studios and Walpole Park is mainly Victorian. ONS records 63% flats, 37% houses and 18,588 households in Ealing.
Owner-occupation runs at 45% in Ealing, so alongside the 41% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Ealing substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Ealing, with metal stud partitions between rooms — the pattern behind 18,588 households inside the W5 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in W5, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — and with 41% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a W5 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Ealing: the Queen of the Suburbs — Walpole Park, the studios and a busy Broadway. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Ealing is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, broadway loading windows, permit bays on the villa streets and booked lifts in new blocks — 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 Ealing Broadway (Elizabeth line, Central, District).

A mattress cannot be compacted in the van across W5, with 45% owner-occupation locally — and 14% social-rented stock nearby, 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.
