Overview
This page prices mattress and bed disposal for Holland Park W11 specifically: period conversion stock, 43% privately rented and 3,387 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea 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
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. Driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors.
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. Holland Park (Central) is the nearest station, so a W11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in W11, with solid brick on the party and external walls — with 17% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in W11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — the pattern behind 3,387 households inside the W11 neighbourhood.
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
| 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 Holland Park
Walk Holland Park from Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden outwards and the period conversion pattern is obvious: 80% of the 3,387 households in W11 live in flats, 20% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 40% in Holland Park, so alongside the 43% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect lath and plaster over timber studs in W11, with solid brick on the party and external walls — with 17% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first behind the plaster in W11. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — the pattern behind 3,387 households inside the W11 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Holland Park knows the pattern near Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden: wide villa avenues around the park and the Design Museum. We plan the W11 visit around it. Holland Park sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors. Holland Park (Central) 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 Holland Park on Kensington and Chelsea bookings, with 37% 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 in this 80% flats neighbourhood, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van on this side of Kensington and Chelsea — and this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory, with a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood, 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 Holland Park (Central), with 37% one-person households here. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Holland Park most weeks, with Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play.
For W11 bookings, 5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on this side of Kensington and Chelsea, with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory. It works the same way on every Holland Park (W11) booking.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in across W11. With 80% of Holland Park homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Kensington and Chelsea, with 80% of homes here being flats — and Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden a few streets away, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
All three. With 43% of Holland Park privately rented and 40% owner-occupied, roughly half the W11 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on W11 jobs — and a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood, with 17% social-rented stock nearby.
Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden is the marker we route to on the streets near Holland Park and the Kyoto Garden, with 43% of W11 homes being privately rented, and driveways on some villas; elsewhere permit bays, gated entrances and listed interiors. A W11 slot added to an existing Kensington and Chelsea round usually lands the same week rather than the next across W11, with this being a short walk from Holland Park (Central).
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 W11 jobs — and this being a short walk from Holland Park (Central), with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory. Holland Park sits close to Holland Park (Central) on the Holland Park rounds, with 43% of W11 homes being privately rented — and 20% of Holland Park homes being houses, so we can usually add a W11 job to an existing Kensington and Chelsea round at short notice.
