Enfield · N11 · Mattress and bed disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Bounds Green fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for mattress and bed disposal in Bounds Green N11? We work in Bounds Green most weeks — quiet terraced streets between Wood Green and the North Circular — 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 Bounds Green N11 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 30% privately rented and 3,635 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Enfield 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. Bounds Green (Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a N11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, which is why London Borough of Enfield kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in N11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Bounds Green stock goes, which is what a 33% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Bounds Green actually produces.
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. North Circular noise and access limits; side streets have permit bays and narrow turns.
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 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 Bounds Green
3,635 households sit inside the N11 neighbourhood covering Bounds Green. The build is mainly Edwardian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 33% of those homes are flats.
The mixed-tenure mix here (53% owned, 30% privately rented) means a N11 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, which is why London Borough of Enfield kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Bounds Green is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Bounds Green stock goes, which is what a 33% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Bounds Green actually produces.
Bounds Green is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — quiet terraced streets between Wood Green and the North Circular — which is why a N11 quote is not a Enfield average.
On access, north Circular noise and access limits; side streets have permit bays and narrow turns — 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 Bounds Green (Piccadilly).

Single mattress, any type starts at £45 in Bounds Green in this 33% flats neighbourhood, with 33% of homes here being flats, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Mattress size and whether the base comes too on Enfield bookings, then the floor it sits on.

Mattresses soaked through with bodily fluid contamination requiring a biohazard route rather than standard disposal; Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses on this side of Enfield — and 30% of N11 homes being privately rented, 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 3,635 households on this patch, which need a joiner rather than a clearance crew. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Bounds Green N11 price you agree is the price you pay on N11 jobs, with 23% one-person households here.
