Overview
Mattress and bed disposal in Greenwich Peninsula SE10, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around North Greenwich, mattress and bed disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 78% of Greenwich Peninsula's 3,769 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE10 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How mattress and bed disposal works in Greenwich Peninsula
Five steps, the same on every SE10 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — the pattern behind 3,769 households inside the SE10 neighbourhood 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 Greenwich Peninsula customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE10 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. Event-day congestion, estate permits and strict lift-booking windows in every block.
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. North Greenwich (Jubilee) is the nearest station, so a SE10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Greenwich Peninsula walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from North Greenwich (Jubilee) rather than assumed from a map in SE10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Greenwich Peninsula gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around The O2 Arena.
Fixed prices
Mattress and bed disposal prices in Greenwich Peninsula
Fixed prices for SE10 and the rest of Greenwich. 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 Greenwich Peninsula
The same scope across SE10, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: two crew who carry from the bedroom — nothing has to be dragged to the front door first, arranged with Royal Borough of Greenwich where the kerb needs it
- Bed frames and divan bases unscrewed and broken down where a stair turn or lift will not take them whole — including mattress and bed disposal
- In Greenwich Peninsula: mattresses wrapped for the carry so a stained or worn unit does not mark the stairwell or hallway, the way it is done on Greenwich Peninsula jobs
- On SE10 jobs: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, with our carrier registration number on it, with 78% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: springs, foam and fabric separated for recycling at a site permitted to strip mattresses, allowing for the 25% of SE10 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 Greenwich Peninsula 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, which we refer on to the right trade in Greenwich Peninsula
- Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses, which need pest control treatment before collection can proceed safely, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE10
- 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 SE10 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 Royal Borough of Greenwich 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 →

Greenwich Peninsula SE10 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Greenwich Peninsula — the numbers that actually change a mattress and bed disposal quote.
Greenwich Peninsula SE10 is recent new-build and social-housing-led: 78% of homes here are flats and 22% are houses, across 3,769 households (ONS Census 2021).
The social-housing-led mix here (44% owned, 25% privately rented) means a SE10 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, measured on the walk in from North Greenwich (Jubilee) rather than assumed from a map, so the fixing that matters in Greenwich Peninsula is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Greenwich Peninsula gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the reality on the streets around The O2 Arena.
The O2, the cable car and a new district of towers on the old gasworks. That character decides the practical detail of mattress and bed disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Greenwich Peninsula 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: event-day congestion, estate permits and strict lift-booking windows in every block. North Greenwich (Jubilee) 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 Greenwich Peninsula SE10 — your questions.
How much does mattress and bed disposal cost in Greenwich Peninsula SE10?
Single mattress, any type starts at £45 in Greenwich Peninsula on the Greenwich Peninsula rounds, with Greenwich parking rules in play, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Mattress size and whether the base comes too on SE10 jobs, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van on the streets near The O2 Arena, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory — and 78% of homes here being flats, 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 Greenwich Peninsula SE10?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on this side of Greenwich, with 22% of Greenwich Peninsula homes being houses. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Greenwich Peninsula most weeks, with 31% social-rented stock nearby.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Greenwich Peninsula?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level across SE10, with this being a short walk from North Greenwich (Jubilee).
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Greenwich Peninsula doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Greenwich Peninsula rounds. With 78% of Greenwich Peninsula homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Greenwich bookings, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory — and 25% of SE10 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Do you handle difficult access in Greenwich Peninsula?
Event-day congestion, estate permits and strict lift-booking windows in every block on the streets near The O2 Arena. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in Royal Borough of Greenwich it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards across SE10 — and 3,769 households on this patch, with Greenwich parking rules in play.
Are your fitters insured for work in SE10?
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 across SE10 — and this being a short walk from North Greenwich (Jubilee), with 3,769 households on this patch, and a waste transfer note is issued for every collection. That paperwork is what most Greenwich letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat around North Greenwich (Jubilee), with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
What is not included in mattress and bed disposal in Greenwich Peninsula?
Mattresses soaked through with bodily fluid contamination requiring a biohazard route rather than standard disposal; Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses in Greenwich Peninsula — and this being a short walk from North Greenwich (Jubilee), with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, 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, which need a joiner rather than a clearance crew. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Greenwich Peninsula SE10 price you agree is the price you pay for Greenwich Peninsula (SE10) addresses, with 3,769 households on this patch.
