Overview
Mattress and bed disposal in Palmers Green N13 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Enfield, most of them mainly Edwardian. 6,566 households sit inside this N13 patch, 41% of them flats, so we quote on access near Broomfield 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 some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in N13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in N13, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Palmers Green (Great Northern) rather than assumed from a map.
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. Green Lanes is a red route with tight side-street access and permit bays.
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. Palmers Green (Great Northern) is the nearest station, so a N13 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. |

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 Palmers Green
Walk Palmers Green from Broomfield Park outwards and the mainly Edwardian pattern is obvious: 41% of the 6,566 households in N13 live in flats, 59% in houses.
Private renting sits at 30% and owner-occupation at 63%; the first group books mattress and bed disposal at short notice, the second plans it.
Palmers Green substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in N13, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Palmers Green (Great Northern) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a N13 customer twice.
Two streets can behave very differently in Palmers Green: green Lanes' Greek Cypriot shops and long Edwardian terraces. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Palmers Green is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, green Lanes is a red route with tight side-street access and permit bays — 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 Palmers Green (Great Northern).

Single mattress, any type starts at £45 in Palmers Green on the Palmers Green rounds, with 6,566 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 on Enfield bookings, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van in this 41% flats neighbourhood — and a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Enfield territory, 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.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions around Palmers Green (Great Northern), with 6,566 households on this patch. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Palmers Green most weeks, with 26% one-person households here.
For N13 bookings, 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 41% flats neighbourhood, with Enfield parking rules in play. It works the same way on every Palmers Green (N13) booking.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in this 41% flats neighbourhood. With 41% of Palmers Green homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Enfield bookings, with Broomfield Park a few streets away — and this being London Borough of Enfield territory, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
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 Enfield bookings, with this being London Borough of Enfield territory — and 41% of homes here being flats, and a waste transfer note is issued for every collection. That paperwork is what most Enfield letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat in this 41% flats neighbourhood, with 41% of homes here being flats. Near Broomfield Park that usually means an earlier start so the van can be unloaded once.
Mattresses soaked through with bodily fluid contamination requiring a biohazard route rather than standard disposal; Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses, which need pest control treatment before collection can proceed safely; Fitting or assembling a replacement bed on this side of Enfield, with this being London Borough of Enfield territory, which is booked separately as a flat-pack or bed-assembly visit; Structural bed frames fixed to the wall or floor — and 63% owner-occupation locally, which need a joiner rather than a clearance crew. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Palmers Green N13 price you agree is the price you pay in this 41% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood.
All three. With 30% of Palmers Green privately rented and 63% owner-occupied, roughly half the N13 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in this 41% flats neighbourhood — and 63% owner-occupation locally, with 59% of Palmers Green homes being houses.
