Richmond upon Thames · TW10 · Mattress and bed disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Richmond Hill and Ham fitters · Fixed written pricesRichmond Hill and Ham TW10 is a regular stop on our Richmond upon Thames round. The protected view from the hill, Ham House and the riverside meadows below, so mattress and bed disposal here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £45, in writing, with insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.


Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Richmond, mattress and bed disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 35% of Richmond Hill and Ham's 2,156 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in TW10 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
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. Extremely steep hill, narrow riverside lanes at Ham and conservation-area limits.
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. Richmond (District, Overground, South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in Richmond Hill and Ham, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and with 15% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in TW10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in TW10, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — with 26% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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
| 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 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 →
