Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Wood Green fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for mattress and bed disposal in Wood Green N22? We work in Wood Green most weeks — the Mall shopping centre, Turkish and Greek high street and Alexandra Park behind — and price mattress and bed disposal against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £45, insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.


Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Wood Green, mattress and bed disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 68% of Wood Green's 5,861 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in N22 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
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. High Road red route, shopping-centre service yards and estate lift booking.
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. Wood Green (Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a N22 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, with 25% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in N22, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Wood Green gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, the reality on the streets around Alexandra Palace.
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. 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 Wood Green
5,861 households sit inside the N22 neighbourhood covering Wood Green. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 68% of those homes are flats.
The renter-heavy mix here (32% owned, 43% privately rented) means a N22 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, with 25% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Wood Green is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Wood Green gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, the reality on the streets around Alexandra Palace.
The Mall shopping centre, Turkish and Greek high street and Alexandra Park behind. That character decides the practical detail of mattress and bed disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Wood Green 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: high Road red route, shopping-centre service yards and estate lift booking. Wood Green (Piccadilly) 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.

Mattresses soaked through with bodily fluid contamination requiring a biohazard route rather than standard disposal; Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses — and 32% of Wood Green homes being houses, which need pest control treatment before collection can proceed safely; Fitting or assembling a replacement bed, with 43% of N22 homes being privately rented, which is booked separately as a flat-pack or bed-assembly visit; Structural bed frames fixed to the wall or floor on the Wood Green rounds, which need a joiner rather than a clearance crew.
