Hammersmith and Fulham · W12 · Mattress and bed disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Shepherd's Bush fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking mattress and bed disposal near Westfield London and Shepherd's Bush Market? Mall service yards, Uxbridge Road bus lanes and permit-only side streets, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £45 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Mattress and bed disposal in Shepherd's Bush W12 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Hammersmith and Fulham, most of them mainly Victorian. 9,929 households sit inside this W12 patch, 87% of them flats, so we quote on access near Westfield London and Shepherd's Bush Market 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
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. Shepherd's Bush (Central, Overground) is the nearest station, so a W12 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, the reality on the streets around Westfield London and Shepherd's Bush Market in W12, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Shepherd's Bush stock goes, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Mall service yards, Uxbridge Road bus lanes and permit-only side streets.
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 Shepherd's Bush
Shepherd's Bush W12 is mainly Victorian and renter-heavy: 87% of homes here are flats and 13% are houses, across 9,929 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 40% private renting against 26% owner-occupied, most W12 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Shepherd's Bush substrates run to often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, the reality on the streets around Westfield London and Shepherd's Bush Market. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Shepherd's Bush stock goes, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a W12 customer twice.
Shepherd's Bush 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 — the green, the market and Westfield's mall on the old exhibition grounds — which is why a W12 quote is not a Hammersmith and Fulham average.
Mall service yards, Uxbridge Road bus lanes and permit-only side streets. Nearest station is Shepherd's Bush (Central, Overground), 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.
