Havering · RM5 · Mattress and bed disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Collier Row fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking mattress and bed disposal near Collier Row Lane parade? Wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading, 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
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Romford, mattress and bed disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 12% of Collier Row's 3,167 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in RM5 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
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. Romford (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a RM5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, and with 23% one-person households in Collier Row, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in RM5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Collier Row gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 14% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading.
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 Collier Row
Collier Row RM5 is post-war and owner-occupier-led: 12% of homes here are flats and 88% are houses, across 3,167 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 14% private renting against 74% owner-occupied, most RM5 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Collier Row substrates run to some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, and with 23% one-person households in Collier Row, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Collier Row gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, and with 14% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a RM5 customer twice.
Collier Row 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 — a large residential suburb north of Romford with its own shopping parade — which is why a RM5 quote is not a Havering average.
On access, wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading — 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 Romford (Elizabeth line).
