Overview
Mattress and bed disposal in Custom House E16, explained
This page prices mattress and bed disposal for Custom House E16 specifically: post-war stock, 24% privately rented and 3,330 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Newham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How mattress and bed disposal works in Custom House
Five steps, the same on every E16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Custom House gives us council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, where 26% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year 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 Custom House customers book us
What follows is specific to Custom House: its walls, its access and the paperwork Newham agents ask for.
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. Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, so a E16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Custom House walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — which is what a 50% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Custom House actually produces in E16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in E16, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — with 49% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Insured and documented
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
Mattress and bed disposal prices in Custom House
Fixed prices for E16 and the rest of Newham. 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 Custom House
The same scope across E16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Two crew who carry from the bedroom — nothing has to be dragged to the front door first, noted on the Custom House job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Newham bookings: bed frames and divan bases unscrewed and broken down where a stair turn or lift will not take them whole, allowing for the 24% of E16 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On E16 jobs: mattresses wrapped for the carry so a stained or worn unit does not mark the stairwell or hallway, agreed on the doorstep in Custom House before anything is unpacked
- In Custom House: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, with our carrier registration number on it, timed against the walk in from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR)
- Springs, foam and fabric separated for recycling at a site permitted to strip mattresses — including mattress and bed disposal
- Standard on Newham bookings: same-day and next-morning slots so a new bed delivery is never held up by the old one still being in the room, arranged with London Borough of Newham where the kerb needs it
Not included
- Mattresses soaked through with bodily fluid contamination requiring a biohazard route rather than standard disposal, which we refer on to the right trade in Custom House
- Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses, which need pest control treatment before collection can proceed safely, handled by London Borough of Newham or a specialist contractor instead
- Fitting or assembling a replacement bed, which is booked separately as a flat-pack or bed-assembly visit, outside the fixed price on Custom House bookings
- Structural bed frames fixed to the wall or floor, which need a joiner rather than a clearance crew, quoted separately if you need it arranged in E16

The cleaners Constantin and arrived in time and never stopped until the work was completed to the best of their ability.

Working in Custom House
Custom House E16 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Custom House — the numbers that actually change a mattress and bed disposal quote.
The E16 stock around Custom House station and Victoria Dock is post-war. ONS records 50% flats, 50% houses and 3,330 households in Custom House.
Owner-occupation runs at 26% in Custom House, so alongside the 24% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Custom House substrates run to often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — which is what a 50% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Custom House actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in E16, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — with 49% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the mistake that costs a E16 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Custom House knows the pattern near Custom House station and Victoria Dock: regeneration streets between the docks and Canning Town, transformed by the Elizabeth line. We plan the E16 visit around it. Custom House is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) 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.

Common questions
Mattress and bed disposal in Custom House E16 — your questions.
How much does mattress and bed disposal cost in Custom House E16?
Single mattress, any type starts at £45 in Custom House on this side of Newham, with 50% of Custom House 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 across E16, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van on the streets near Custom House station and Victoria Dock — and 50% of Custom House homes being houses, with 26% owner-occupation locally, 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 Custom House E16?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on the Custom House rounds, with this being London Borough of Newham territory. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Custom House most weeks on E16 jobs, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Custom House?
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 50% flats neighbourhood, with 26% one-person households here.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Custom House doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in for Custom House (E16) addresses. With 50% of Custom House homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the streets near Custom House station and Victoria Dock — and 3,330 households on this patch, with 50% of Custom House homes being houses, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Is same-day or evening mattress and bed disposal available in Newham?
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 E16 jobs — and 50% of Custom House homes being houses, with 50% of homes here being flats. Custom House sits close to Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) on the Custom House rounds — and this being a short walk from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR), with Custom House station and Victoria Dock a few streets away, so we can usually add a E16 job to an existing Newham round at short notice.
Do you handle difficult access in Custom House?
Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts on the Custom House rounds. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Newham it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards for Custom House (E16) addresses — and this being a short walk from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR), with this being London Borough of Newham territory.
Are your fitters insured for work in E16?
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 in this 50% flats neighbourhood, with 3,330 households on this patch — and this being London Borough of Newham territory, and a waste transfer note is issued for every collection. That paperwork is what most Newham letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat for Custom House (E16) addresses, with 50% of homes here being flats.
