Southwark · SE15 · Mattress and bed disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Peckham fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking mattress and bed disposal near Peckham Rye Park and the Bussey Building? Rye Lane bus gates, LTN filters and terraced streets with permit bays, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £45 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Peckham Rye, mattress and bed disposal here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 72% of Peckham's 24,172 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE15 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. Peckham Rye (Overground, Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a SE15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Peckham, often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Southwark kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SE15, 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 Peckham stock goes, the reality on the streets around Peckham Rye Park and the Bussey Building.
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. Rye Lane bus gates, LTN filters and terraced streets with permit bays.
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 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 Peckham
24,172 households sit inside the SE15 neighbourhood covering Peckham. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 72% of those homes are flats.
The social-housing-led mix here (31% owned, 23% privately rented) means a SE15 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Peckham, often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Southwark kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in SE15. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Peckham stock goes, the reality on the streets around Peckham Rye Park and the Bussey Building is the fault we are called back to undo.
Peckham sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — rye Lane's markets, rooftop bars and Georgian terraces around Peckham Rye — which is why a SE15 quote is not a Southwark average.
On access, rye Lane bus gates, LTN filters and terraced streets with permit bays — 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 Peckham Rye (Overground, Thameslink).
