Overview
Mattress and bed disposal in Wimbledon SW19, explained
This page prices mattress and bed disposal for Wimbledon SW19 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 34% privately rented and 23,023 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Merton permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How mattress and bed disposal works in Wimbledon
Five steps, the same on every SW19 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions on these streets — measured on the walk in from Wimbledon (District, Southern, South Western, Tramlink) rather than assumed from a map 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 Wimbledon customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Wimbledon wall.
Crew sized to the job
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. Championship-fortnight restrictions, steep Wimbledon Hill Road and Village conservation limits.
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. Wimbledon (District, Southern, South Western, Tramlink) is the nearest station, so a SW19 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Wimbledon walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, and championship-fortnight restrictions, steep wimbledon hill road and village conservation limits 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 in SW19, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, where 57% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
Mattress and bed disposal prices in Wimbledon
Fixed prices for SW19 and the rest of Merton. 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 Wimbledon
The same scope across SW19, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Merton bookings: two crew who carry from the bedroom — nothing has to be dragged to the front door first, allowing for the 34% of SW19 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Bed frames and divan bases unscrewed and broken down where a stair turn or lift will not take them whole, noted on the Wimbledon job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Wimbledon: mattresses wrapped for the carry so a stained or worn unit does not mark the stairwell or hallway, timed against the walk in from Wimbledon (District, Southern, South Western, Tramlink)
- On SW19 jobs: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, with our carrier registration number on it, agreed on the doorstep in Wimbledon before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Merton bookings: springs, foam and fabric separated for recycling at a site permitted to strip mattresses, arranged with London Borough of Merton where the kerb needs it
- Same-day and next-morning slots so a new bed delivery is never held up by the old one still being in the room — including mattress and bed disposal
Not included
- Mattresses soaked through with bodily fluid contamination requiring a biohazard route rather than standard disposal, handled by London Borough of Merton or a specialist contractor instead
- 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 Wimbledon
- Fitting or assembling a replacement bed, which is booked separately as a flat-pack or bed-assembly visit, outside the fixed price on Wimbledon bookings
- 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 SW19 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.

Wimbledon SW19 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Wimbledon — the numbers that actually change a mattress and bed disposal quote.
23,023 households sit inside the SW19 neighbourhood covering Wimbledon. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile owner-occupier-led, and 47% of those homes are flats.
The owner-occupier-led mix here (57% owned, 34% privately rented) means a SW19 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Wimbledon substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, and championship-fortnight restrictions, steep wimbledon hill road and village conservation limits. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in SW19, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, where 57% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a SW19 customer twice.
The town centre and theatre below, the Village and common above. That character decides the practical detail of mattress and bed disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Wimbledon is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Championship-fortnight restrictions, steep Wimbledon Hill Road and Village conservation limits. Nearest station is Wimbledon (District, Southern, South Western, Tramlink), 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 Wimbledon SW19 — your questions.
How much does mattress and bed disposal cost in Wimbledon SW19?
Single mattress, any type starts at £45 in Wimbledon on the Wimbledon rounds, with 53% of Wimbledon homes being houses, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Mattress size and whether the base comes too on SW19 jobs, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van around Wimbledon (District, Southern, South Western, Tramlink), with 34% of SW19 homes being privately rented — and this being London Borough of Merton 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.
Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Wimbledon SW19?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions for Wimbledon (SW19) addresses, with 27% one-person households here. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Wimbledon most weeks, with 23,023 households on this patch.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Wimbledon?
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 Merton, with 23,023 households on this patch. On Wimbledon jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Wimbledon doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near The All England Lawn Tennis Club. With 47% of Wimbledon homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Wimbledon (SW19) addresses — and this being a short walk from Wimbledon (District, Southern, South Western, Tramlink), with 47% of homes here being flats, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Do you handle difficult access in Wimbledon?
Championship-fortnight restrictions, steep Wimbledon Hill Road and Village conservation limits across SW19. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Merton it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on this side of Merton — and this being London Borough of Merton territory, with Merton parking rules in play.
Are your fitters insured for work in SW19?
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 Wimbledon (District, Southern, South Western, Tramlink), with 53% of Wimbledon homes being houses — and 57% owner-occupation locally, 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 SW19 jobs, with 8% social-rented stock nearby.
What is not included in mattress and bed disposal in Wimbledon?
Mattresses soaked through with bodily fluid contamination requiring a biohazard route rather than standard disposal; Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses, which need pest control treatment before collection can proceed safely; Fitting or assembling a replacement bed, with 34% of SW19 homes being privately rented, which is booked separately as a flat-pack or bed-assembly visit; Structural bed frames fixed to the wall or floor on the Wimbledon rounds — 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 Wimbledon SW19 price you agree is the price you pay on SW19 jobs, with this being a short walk from Wimbledon (District, Southern, South Western, Tramlink).
