Merton · SW19 · Mattress and bed disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Colliers Wood fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide mattress and bed disposal in Colliers Wood SW19 for houses and flats around Merton Abbey Mills. From £45, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Colliers Wood, mattress and bed disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 67% of Colliers Wood's 4,286 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW19 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. Colliers Wood (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SW19 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, the pattern behind 4,286 households inside the SW19 neighbourhood in SW19, 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, which is what a 67% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Colliers Wood actually produces.
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. High Street red route, riverside estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts.
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 Colliers Wood
4,286 households sit inside the SW19 neighbourhood covering Colliers Wood. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 67% of those homes are flats.
Because 44% of Colliers Wood is privately rented and 9% socially rented, a lot of SW19 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, the pattern behind 4,286 households inside the SW19 neighbourhood behind the plaster in SW19. 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, which is what a 67% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Colliers Wood actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
Colliers Wood 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 — the Wandle trail, Merton Abbey Mills and big-box retail on the High Street — which is why a SW19 quote is not a Merton average.
High Street red route, riverside estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Nearest station is Colliers Wood (Northern), 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 Colliers Wood on the streets near Merton Abbey Mills, with this being a short walk from Colliers Wood (Northern), and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Mattress size and whether the base comes too across SW19, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van on the Colliers Wood rounds, with Merton Abbey Mills a few streets away, 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 in Colliers Wood, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Colliers Wood most weeks on Merton bookings, with this being London Borough of Merton territory.
In Colliers Wood, 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 Merton Abbey Mills, with Merton parking rules in play. That covers mattress and bed disposal on Colliers Wood jobs too.

With 67% of Colliers Wood homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Colliers Wood rounds, with 33% of Colliers Wood homes being houses — and this being a short walk from Colliers Wood (Northern), so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

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 Colliers Wood (Northern), with 44% of SW19 homes being privately rented — and 4,286 households on this patch, and a waste transfer note is issued for every collection. That paperwork is what most Merton letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the streets near Merton Abbey Mills, with 9% social-rented stock nearby.
Mattresses soaked through with bodily fluid contamination requiring a biohazard route rather than standard disposal; Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses, with 9% social-rented stock nearby, which need pest control treatment before collection can proceed safely; Fitting or assembling a replacement bed for Colliers Wood (SW19) addresses, which is booked separately as a flat-pack or bed-assembly visit; Structural bed frames fixed to the wall or floor — and this being London Borough of Merton territory, which need a joiner rather than a clearance crew. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Colliers Wood SW19 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Merton Abbey Mills, with 33% of Colliers Wood homes being houses.
