Overview
This page prices mattress and bed disposal for Canary Wharf E14 specifically: recent new-build stock, 59% privately rented and 3,528 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Tower Hamlets permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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
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. Estate permits from Canary Wharf Management, booked goods lifts and loading docks below ground.
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. Canary Wharf (Jubilee, Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, so a E14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, and with 59% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in E14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Canary Wharf gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, the reality on the streets around One Canada Square.
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 →

Working in Canary Wharf
Canary Wharf E14 is recent new-build and renter-heavy: 98% of homes here are flats and 2% are houses, across 3,528 households (ONS Census 2021).
The renter-heavy mix here (27% owned, 59% privately rented) means a E14 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, and with 59% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Canary Wharf is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Canary Wharf gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, the reality on the streets around One Canada Square.
Tower cluster of banks, malls and high-rise apartments on the old West India Docks. That character decides the practical detail of mattress and bed disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Canary Wharf sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, estate permits from Canary Wharf Management, booked goods lifts and loading docks below ground — 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 Canary Wharf (Jubilee, Elizabeth line, DLR).

Single mattress, any type starts at £45 in Canary Wharf on E14 jobs, with 3,528 households on this patch, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Mattress size and whether the base comes too on the streets near One Canada Square, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van across E14, with Tower Hamlets parking rules in play — and this being a short walk from Canary Wharf (Jubilee, Elizabeth line, DLR), 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 E14 jobs, with a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Canary Wharf most weeks on this side of Tower Hamlets, with this being London Borough of Tower Hamlets territory.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Canary Wharf (Jubilee, Elizabeth line, DLR), with 41% one-person households here.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Canary Wharf rounds. With 98% of Canary Wharf homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Tower Hamlets bookings, with 98% of homes here being flats — and 2% of Canary Wharf homes being houses, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Estate permits from Canary Wharf Management, booked goods lifts and loading docks below ground in this 98% flats neighbourhood. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Tower Hamlets it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on Tower Hamlets bookings — and One Canada Square a few streets away, with this being London Borough of Tower Hamlets territory.
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 across E14, with 27% owner-occupation locally — and 2% of Canary Wharf homes being houses, and a waste transfer note is issued for every collection. That paperwork is what most Tower Hamlets letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on the streets near One Canada Square, with this being a short walk from Canary Wharf (Jubilee, Elizabeth line, DLR).
Mattresses soaked through with bodily fluid contamination requiring a biohazard route rather than standard disposal; Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses on E14 jobs, which need pest control treatment before collection can proceed safely; Fitting or assembling a replacement bed — and a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood, which is booked separately as a flat-pack or bed-assembly visit; Structural bed frames fixed to the wall or floor, with One Canada Square a few streets away, which need a joiner rather than a clearance crew. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Canary Wharf E14 price you agree is the price you pay around Canary Wharf (Jubilee, Elizabeth line, DLR), with 59% of E14 homes being privately rented.
