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. Level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces.

Overview
Mattress and bed disposal in Mortlake and East Sheen SW14, explained
This page prices mattress and bed disposal for Mortlake and East Sheen SW14 specifically: mainly Edwardian stock, 28% privately rented and 4,944 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Richmond upon Thames permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How mattress and bed disposal works in Mortlake and East Sheen
Five steps, the same on every SW14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the Mortlake and East Sheen stock goes, a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here 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 Mortlake and East Sheen customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Mortlake and East Sheen wall.
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. Mortlake (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Mortlake and East Sheen walls, not generic walls
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around The Boat Race finishing post in SW14, 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 — the pattern behind 4,944 households inside the SW14 neighbourhood.
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 Mortlake and East Sheen
Fixed prices for SW14 and the rest of Richmond upon Thames. 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 Mortlake and East Sheen
The same scope across SW14, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SW14 jobs: two crew who carry from the bedroom — nothing has to be dragged to the front door first, agreed on the doorstep in Mortlake and East Sheen before anything is unpacked
- In Mortlake and East Sheen: bed frames and divan bases unscrewed and broken down where a stair turn or lift will not take them whole, timed against the walk in from Mortlake (South Western)
- Mattresses wrapped for the carry so a stained or worn unit does not mark the stairwell or hallway, noted on the Mortlake and East Sheen job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Richmond upon Thames bookings: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, with our carrier registration number on it, allowing for the 28% of SW14 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On SW14 jobs: springs, foam and fabric separated for recycling at a site permitted to strip mattresses, mattress and bed disposal included
- In Mortlake and East Sheen: same-day and next-morning slots so a new bed delivery is never held up by the old one still being in the room, sized for the level-crossing delays, boat race day closures and permit bays on the terraces
Not included
- Mattresses soaked through with bodily fluid contamination requiring a biohazard route rather than standard disposal, outside the fixed price on Mortlake and East Sheen bookings
- Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses, which need pest control treatment before collection can proceed safely, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW14
- Fitting or assembling a replacement bed, which is booked separately as a flat-pack or bed-assembly visit, which we refer on to the right trade in Mortlake and East Sheen
- Structural bed frames fixed to the wall or floor, which need a joiner rather than a clearance crew, handled by London Borough of Richmond upon Thames or a specialist contractor instead

Mortlake and East Sheen SW14 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Mortlake and East Sheen — the numbers that actually change a mattress and bed disposal quote.
Census 2021 puts Mortlake and East Sheen at 4,944 households with a median age of 39.3. The mainly Edwardian stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 50% houses and 50% flats need different handling in SW14.
28% of households rent privately and 56% own, which is why mattress and bed disposal demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Mortlake and East Sheen substrates run to lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around The Boat Race finishing post. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — the pattern behind 4,944 households inside the SW14 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a SW14 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Mortlake and East Sheen knows the pattern near The Boat Race finishing post: the Boat Race finish, the old brewery site and East Sheen's shopping parade. We plan the SW14 visit around it. Mortlake and East Sheen is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces — 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 Mortlake (South Western).

Common questions
Mattress and bed disposal in Mortlake and East Sheen SW14 — your questions.
How much does mattress and bed disposal cost in Mortlake and East Sheen SW14?
Single mattress, any type starts at £45 in Mortlake and East Sheen on this side of Richmond upon Thames — and a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood, with 28% of SW14 homes being privately rented, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Mattress size and whether the base comes too in Mortlake and East Sheen, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van on Richmond upon Thames bookings — and this being a short walk from Mortlake (South Western), with 56% 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 Mortlake and East Sheen SW14?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions for Mortlake and East Sheen (SW14) addresses, with this being a short walk from Mortlake (South Western). We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Mortlake and East Sheen most weeks on the streets near The Boat Race finishing post, with 56% owner-occupation locally.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Mortlake and East Sheen?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on SW14 jobs, with this being a short walk from Mortlake (South Western).
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Mortlake and East Sheen doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on this side of Richmond upon Thames. With 50% of Mortlake and East Sheen homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 50% flats neighbourhood, with The Boat Race finishing post a few streets away, 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 Richmond upon Thames?
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 for Mortlake and East Sheen (SW14) addresses, with this being London Borough of Richmond upon Thames territory. Mortlake and East Sheen sits close to Mortlake (South Western) in Mortlake and East Sheen, with 28% of SW14 homes being privately rented — and 32% one-person households here, so we can usually add a SW14 job to an existing Richmond upon Thames round at short notice.
Do you handle difficult access in Mortlake and East Sheen?
In Mortlake and East Sheen, level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces on the streets near The Boat Race finishing post. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Richmond upon Thames it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on Richmond upon Thames bookings, with 50% of homes here being flats. That covers mattress and bed disposal on Mortlake and East Sheen jobs too.
Are your fitters insured for work in SW14?
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 on the Mortlake and East Sheen rounds, with a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood — and The Boat Race finishing post a few streets away, and a waste transfer note is issued for every collection. That paperwork is what most Richmond upon Thames letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on Richmond upon Thames bookings, with this being London Borough of Richmond upon Thames territory.
