Hackney · E9 · Mattress and bed disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Homerton fitters · Fixed written pricesHomerton E9 is a regular stop on our Hackney round. Hospital district beside Hackney Wick's canals and the marshes, so mattress and bed disposal here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £45, in writing, with insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Homerton, mattress and bed disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 74% of Homerton's 6,876 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in E9 shape the slot length we hold.
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 often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the reality on the streets around Homerton University Hospital in E9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in E9, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 28% one-person households in Homerton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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. Hospital-area restrictions, estate service roads and lift booking in taller 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. Homerton (Overground) is the nearest station, so a E9 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 cleaners Constantin and arrived in time and never stopped until the work was completed to the best of their ability.

Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in E9, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 28% one-person households in Homerton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a E9 customer twice.
