Hillingdon · UB10 · Mattress and bed disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Ickenham fitters · Fixed written pricesIckenham UB10 is a regular stop on our Hillingdon round. A village green with a pump and pond, surrounded by interwar housing, so mattress and bed disposal here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £45, in writing, with insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Mattress and bed disposal in Ickenham UB10 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Hillingdon, most of them inter-war. 2,922 households sit inside this UB10 patch, 12% of them flats, so we quote on access near Ickenham village pump 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
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — where 82% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in UB10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in UB10, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — which is why London Borough of Hillingdon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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 roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet.
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. Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a UB10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
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 Ickenham
Census 2021 puts Ickenham at 2,922 households with a median age of 43. The inter-war stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 88% houses and 12% flats need different handling in UB10.
Owner-occupation runs at 82% in Ickenham, so alongside the 14% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — where 82% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in Ickenham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in UB10, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — which is why London Borough of Hillingdon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Two streets can behave very differently in Ickenham: a village green with a pump and pond, surrounded by interwar housing. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Ickenham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet. Nearest station is Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly), 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 Ickenham, with 23% one-person households here, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Mattress size and whether the base comes too on Hillingdon bookings, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van in this 12% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood — and this being London Borough of Hillingdon territory, 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.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions around Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly), with 23% one-person households here. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Ickenham most weeks, with Hillingdon parking rules in play.
For UB10 bookings, 5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level in this 12% flats neighbourhood, with 12% of homes here being flats. It works the same way on every Ickenham (UB10) booking.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in this 12% flats neighbourhood. With 12% of Ickenham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm around Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly) — and 12% of homes here being flats, with 14% of UB10 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
All three. With 14% of Ickenham privately rented and 82% owner-occupied, roughly half the UB10 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door around Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly) — and Hillingdon parking rules in play, with a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood.
Ickenham village pump is the marker we route to on this side of Hillingdon, with a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood, and wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet. A UB10 slot added to an existing Hillingdon round usually lands the same week rather than the next on UB10 jobs, with 2,922 households on this patch.
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 on UB10 jobs, with 82% owner-occupation locally — and 23% one-person households here. Ickenham sits close to Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly), with this being a short walk from Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly), so we can usually add a UB10 job to an existing Hillingdon round at short notice on the Ickenham rounds.
