Harrow · HA7 · Mattress and bed disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Stanmore fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide mattress and bed disposal in Stanmore HA7 for houses and flats around Bentley Priory Museum. From £45, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.


Overview
This page prices mattress and bed disposal for Stanmore HA7 specifically: post-war stock, 24% privately rented and 6,351 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Harrow permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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. Long private drives and gated entrances; steep hill roads towards the common.
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. Stanmore (Jubilee) is the nearest station, so a HA7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside, and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in HA7, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Stanmore gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, measured on the walk in from Stanmore (Jubilee) rather than assumed from a map.
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. |

Scope
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 Stanmore
Stanmore HA7 is post-war and owner-occupier-led: 43% of homes here are flats and 57% are houses, across 6,351 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 24% of Stanmore is privately rented and 15% socially rented, a lot of HA7 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are timber stud partitions inside; locally that also means cavity brickwork outside, and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Stanmore is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Stanmore gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, measured on the walk in from Stanmore (Jubilee) rather than assumed from a map.
Hilltop suburb of large detached houses, the country park and Bentley Priory. That character decides the practical detail of mattress and bed disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Stanmore is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, long private drives and gated entrances; steep hill roads towards the common — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Stanmore (Jubilee).
