Kingston upon Thames · KT1 · Mattress and bed disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Kingston town centre fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking mattress and bed disposal near Kingston Market Place and the coronation stone? Pedestrianised centre with timed access, riverside loading limits and a one-way ring road, 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 renter-heavy households around Kingston, mattress and bed disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 63% of Kingston town centre's 9,668 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in KT1 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. Kingston (South Western) is the nearest station, so a KT1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Kingston (South Western) rather than assumed from a map in KT1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Kingston town centre stock goes, and with 40% 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. Pedestrianised centre with timed access, riverside loading limits and a one-way ring road.
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 Kingston town centre
9,668 households sit inside the KT1 neighbourhood covering Kingston town centre. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 63% of those homes are flats.
With 40% private renting against 51% owner-occupied, most KT1 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Kingston town centre substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Kingston (South Western) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Kingston town centre stock goes, and with 40% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a KT1 customer twice.
Kingston town centre 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 — riverside market town with the Bentall Centre, the ancient market and the bridge — which is why a KT1 quote is not a Kingston upon Thames average.
On access, pedestrianised centre with timed access, riverside loading limits and a one-way ring road — 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 Kingston (South Western).
