Harrow · HA3 · Mattress and bed disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Kenton fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking mattress and bed disposal near Kenton Recreation Ground? Easy — driveways and wide roads on almost every street, 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 Kenton HA3 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Harrow, most of them inter-war. 6,923 households sit inside this HA3 patch, 16% of them flats, so we quote on access near Kenton Recreation Ground 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. Kenton (Bakerloo, Overground) is the nearest station, so a HA3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect timber stud partitions inside in HA3, cavity brickwork outside, which is why London Borough of Harrow kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in HA3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Kenton stock goes, which is what a 16% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kenton actually produces.
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. Easy — driveways and wide roads on almost every street.
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 Kenton
6,923 households sit inside the HA3 neighbourhood covering Kenton. The build is inter-war, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 16% of those homes are flats.
Because 26% of Kenton is privately rented and 8% socially rented, a lot of HA3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect timber stud partitions inside in HA3, cavity brickwork outside, which is why London Borough of Harrow kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in HA3. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, as the Kenton stock goes, which is what a 16% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kenton actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
Kenton 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 — uniform interwar semis between Harrow and Wembley, quiet and residential — which is why a HA3 quote is not a Harrow average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: easy — driveways and wide roads on almost every street. Kenton (Bakerloo, Overground) 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.

Single mattress, any type starts at £45 in Kenton across HA3, with 66% owner-occupation locally, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Mattress size and whether the base comes too on this side of Harrow, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van on HA3 jobs, with 26% of HA3 homes being privately rented — and 66% owner-occupation locally, 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.
