London mattress disposal · Central London
Local mattress and bed disposal for Hackney and its 15 covered areas. Warehouse conversions, Georgian terraces and marshland parks — Shoreditch at one end, Stamford Hill at the other.
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. |

Domestic prices are the total you pay; landlord, letting agent and student-accommodation invoices are plus VAT at 20%. Carrying, dismantling of bed frames and the tip gate fee are included. Where a bay suspension, permit, ULEZ or the Congestion Charge applies it is itemised in the written quote before the crew is booked.
Working in Hackney
What our crews walk into in Hackney is warehouse lofts, london fields victorian terraces, big la estates and olympic-era new-build, and the mix changes street by street — Clapton (E5), Dalston (E8) and De Beauvoir Town (N1) each behave differently on the day.
Parking is the job before the job here: extensive low-traffic neighbourhoods with modal filters, seven-day cpzs and narrow one-way terraces. Locally that means narrow terraced streets, permit bays and marsh-side roads that flood after heavy rain and kingsland road red route, market-day congestion and narrow permit-only side streets. Hackney sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
London Borough of Hackney offers a bulky-waste collection for a mattress or two, but most rounds in Hackney run to a two-week booking window and cap the number of items per visit — no help at all against a same-week bed delivery. We collect on the day you choose and hand you a waste transfer note under our carrier registration.
Why it looks like this: a market-garden parish absorbed by victorian terraces, bombed heavily, rebuilt with estates, then reshaped by the creative industries.
Scope
Method
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.
Coverage
Also in this borough
Single items, part-loads, garden waste and office strip-outs across the borough.
Mixed household and bulky waste taken by the load with a transfer note the same day.
Sofas, wardrobes, tables and old white goods collected per item, dismantling included.
Overgrown beds, hedges and years of accumulated green waste cleared and taken away.
Local moving crews working from the same borough, not across the city.
Deep extraction cleaning if the mattress is worth keeping.
Single mattress, any type starts at £45 in Hackney, and the ladder runs up to £35/item for the largest job on the table above. 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: E1, E2, E3, E5, E8, E9, EC2, N1, N16 and N4. On the ground that includes Clapton, Dalston, De Beauvoir Town, Hackney Central, Hackney Wick and Haggerston.
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. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Extensive low-traffic neighbourhoods with modal filters, seven-day CPZs and narrow one-way terraces. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Hackney and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Warehouse lofts, London Fields Victorian terraces, big LA estates and Olympic-era new-build is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Hackney tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
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. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Hackney postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
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 and Fitting or assembling a replacement bed, which is booked separately as a flat-pack or bed-assembly visit. If something on that list turns up in Hackney, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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 →
We had a good experience with this company for our move from London to Spain. Everything went well. They also helped us with our move out clean.
