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. The easiest access in London — wide roads, drives and level thresholds.

Overview
Mattress and bed disposal in Cranham RM14, explained
This page prices mattress and bed disposal for Cranham RM14 specifically: mixed-era stock, 10% privately rented and 5,823 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Havering permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How mattress and bed disposal works in Cranham
Five steps, the same on every RM14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Cranham gives us inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls, and with 10% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Tell us size and floor
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
Fixed written quote
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
Dismantle the base first
Divan bases and bunk frames come apart where they will not pass a stair turn or a communal lift door whole.
Step 4
Wrap and carry
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
Weigh in and receipt
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
Why Cranham customers book us
What follows is specific to Cranham: its walls, its access and the paperwork Havering agents ask for.
Booked around your day
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. Upminster (District, c2c) is the nearest station, so a RM14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Cranham walls, not generic walls
We expect timber stud partitions inside in RM14, cavity brickwork outside — which is what a 12% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Cranham actually produces in RM14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in RM14, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and with 25% one-person households in Cranham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Insured and documented
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.
Fixed prices
Mattress and bed disposal prices in Cranham
Fixed prices for RM14 and the rest of Havering. Mattress size and whether the base comes too, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van, 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.
| 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
What's included in Cranham
The same scope across RM14, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Two crew who carry from the bedroom — nothing has to be dragged to the front door first — including local mattress and bed disposal
- Standard on Havering bookings: bed frames and divan bases unscrewed and broken down where a stair turn or lift will not take them whole, arranged with London Borough of Havering where the kerb needs it
- On RM14 jobs: mattresses wrapped for the carry so a stained or worn unit does not mark the stairwell or hallway, with 12% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Cranham: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, with our carrier registration number on it, the way it is done on Cranham jobs
- Springs, foam and fabric separated for recycling at a site permitted to strip mattresses, checked on every RM14 visit
- Standard on Havering bookings: same-day and next-morning slots so a new bed delivery is never held up by the old one still being in the room, with 5,823 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
Not included
- Mattresses soaked through with bodily fluid contamination requiring a biohazard route rather than standard disposal, quoted separately if you need it arranged in RM14
- Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses, which need pest control treatment before collection can proceed safely, which we refer on to the right trade in Cranham
- Fitting or assembling a replacement bed, which is booked separately as a flat-pack or bed-assembly visit, handled by London Borough of Havering or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural bed frames fixed to the wall or floor, which need a joiner rather than a clearance crew, and we will say so before the RM14 visit rather than on the day

The cleaners Constantin and arrived in time and never stopped until the work was completed to the best of their ability.

Cranham RM14 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Cranham — the numbers that actually change a mattress and bed disposal quote.
Walk Cranham from Cranham Marsh nature reserve outwards and the mixed-era pattern is obvious: 12% of the 5,823 households in RM14 live in flats, 88% in houses.
10% of households rent privately and 86% own, which is why mattress and bed disposal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are timber stud partitions inside in RM14, cavity brickwork outside — which is what a 12% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Cranham actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Cranham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in RM14, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and with 25% one-person households in Cranham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Anyone who knows Cranham knows the pattern near Cranham Marsh nature reserve: quiet green-belt-edge suburb of bungalows and detached homes. We plan the RM14 visit around it. Cranham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
The easiest access in London — wide roads, drives and level thresholds. Nearest station is Upminster (District, c2c), 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.

Common questions
Mattress and bed disposal in Cranham RM14 — your questions.
How much does mattress and bed disposal cost in Cranham RM14?
Single mattress, any type starts at £45 in Cranham, with 5,823 households on this patch, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Mattress size and whether the base comes too around Upminster (District, c2c), then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van in this 12% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Havering territory — and 5% social-rented stock nearby, 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.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Cranham RM14?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions across RM14, with 5% social-rented stock nearby. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Cranham most weeks on the Cranham rounds, with 88% of Cranham homes being houses.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Cranham?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the streets near Cranham Marsh nature reserve, with Cranham Marsh nature reserve a few streets away.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Cranham doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Havering bookings. With 12% of Cranham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in Cranham — and 5,823 households on this patch, with 25% one-person households here, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Are your fitters insured for work in RM14?
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 around Upminster (District, c2c), with this being a short walk from Upminster (District, c2c), and a waste transfer note is issued for every collection. That paperwork is what most Havering letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on RM14 jobs, with 10% of RM14 homes being privately rented.
What is not included in mattress and bed disposal in Cranham?
Mattresses soaked through with bodily fluid contamination requiring a biohazard route rather than standard disposal; Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses — and 12% of homes here being flats, which need pest control treatment before collection can proceed safely; Fitting or assembling a replacement bed, which is booked separately as a flat-pack or bed-assembly visit; Structural bed frames fixed to the wall or floor on RM14 jobs, with 86% owner-occupation locally, which need a joiner rather than a clearance crew. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Cranham RM14 price you agree is the price you pay around Upminster (District, c2c), with 5% social-rented stock nearby.
Who books mattress and bed disposal in Cranham RM14 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 10% of Cranham privately rented and 86% owner-occupied, roughly half the RM14 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on the streets near Cranham Marsh nature reserve — and this being London Borough of Havering territory, with Havering parking rules in play.
