Newham · E13 · Mattress and bed disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local West Ham and Plaistow fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for mattress and bed disposal in West Ham and Plaistow E13? We work in West Ham and Plaistow most weeks — terraced streets and the memory of the Boleyn Ground, with fast links in every direction — and price mattress and bed disposal against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £45, insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around West Ham, mattress and bed disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 55% of West Ham and Plaistow's 3,460 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in E13 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. West Ham (Jubilee, District, DLR, c2c) is the nearest station, so a E13 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, the pattern behind 3,460 households inside the E13 neighbourhood in E13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the West Ham and Plaistow stock goes, the reality on the streets around The former Boleyn Ground site.
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. Narrow terraced streets with permit bays; the A13 approach is a red route.
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 West Ham and Plaistow
In West Ham and Plaistow (E13) the split is 55% flats to 45% houses over 3,460 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
With 30% private renting against 29% owner-occupied, most E13 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, the pattern behind 3,460 households inside the E13 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in West Ham and Plaistow is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the West Ham and Plaistow stock goes, the reality on the streets around The former Boleyn Ground site.
West Ham and Plaistow 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 — terraced streets and the memory of the Boleyn Ground, with fast links in every direction — which is why a E13 quote is not a Newham average.
Narrow terraced streets with permit bays; the A13 approach is a red route. Nearest station is West Ham (Jubilee, District, DLR, c2c), 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 West Ham and Plaistow in this 55% flats neighbourhood, with 55% of homes here being flats — and this being London Borough of Newham territory, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Mattress size and whether the base comes too on Newham bookings, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van across E13, with 45% of West Ham and Plaistow homes being houses — and this being a short walk from West Ham (Jubilee, District, DLR, c2c), 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 on E13 jobs, with 29% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in West Ham and Plaistow most weeks on this side of Newham, with this being a short walk from West Ham (Jubilee, District, DLR, c2c).
In West Ham and Plaistow, 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 Newham, with The former Boleyn Ground site a few streets away. Ask for it in writing before the E13 visit and it is on the job sheet.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Newham bookings. With 55% of West Ham and Plaistow homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 55% flats neighbourhood — and 29% owner-occupation locally, with Newham parking rules in play, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Mattresses soaked through with bodily fluid contamination requiring a biohazard route rather than standard disposal; Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses, with 45% of West Ham and Plaistow homes being houses — and 29% owner-occupation locally, which need pest control treatment before collection can proceed safely; Fitting or assembling a replacement bed for West Ham and Plaistow (E13) addresses, which is booked separately as a flat-pack or bed-assembly visit; Structural bed frames fixed to the wall or floor, which need a joiner rather than a clearance crew. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the West Ham and Plaistow E13 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near The former Boleyn Ground site, with The former Boleyn Ground site a few streets away.
All three. With 30% of West Ham and Plaistow privately rented and 29% owner-occupied, roughly half the E13 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across E13 — and Newham parking rules in play, with this being London Borough of Newham territory.
The former Boleyn Ground site is the marker we route to around West Ham (Jubilee, District, DLR, c2c), with 3,460 households on this patch, and narrow terraced streets with permit bays; the A13 approach is a red route. A E13 slot added to an existing Newham round usually lands the same week rather than the next in West Ham and Plaistow, with 25% one-person households here.
