Wandsworth · SW15 · Mattress and bed disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Putney fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for mattress and bed disposal in Putney SW15? We work in Putney most weeks — the Boat Race start, the embankment rowing clubs and the high street shops — 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
Mattress and bed disposal in Putney SW15 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Wandsworth, most of them mainly Victorian. 20,613 households sit inside this SW15 patch, 72% of them flats, so we quote on access near Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start rather than a London average.
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. Putney (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is why London Borough of Wandsworth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SW15, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Putney gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, which is what a 72% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Putney actually produces.
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. Boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts.
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 →
We had a good experience with this company for our move from London to Spain. Everything went well. They also helped us with our move out clean.

Working in Putney
20,613 households sit inside the SW15 neighbourhood covering Putney. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 72% of those homes are flats.
Because 38% of Putney is privately rented and 14% socially rented, a lot of SW15 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is why London Borough of Wandsworth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Putney is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Putney gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, which is what a 72% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Putney actually produces.
Putney 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 — the Boat Race start, the embankment rowing clubs and the high street shops — which is why a SW15 quote is not a Wandsworth average.
On access, boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts — 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 Putney (South Western).

Single mattress, any type starts at £45 in Putney around Putney (South Western), with 47% owner-occupation locally, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Mattress size and whether the base comes too in Putney, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van on this side of Wandsworth — and 20,613 households on this patch, with 31% one-person households here, 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 around Putney (South Western), with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Putney most weeks on SW15 jobs, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the Putney rounds, with 31% one-person households here.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on SW15 jobs. With 72% of Putney homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Putney rounds, with Wandsworth parking rules in play — and Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start a few streets away, 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, which need pest control treatment before collection can proceed safely; Fitting or assembling a replacement bed on the streets near Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start — and 38% of SW15 homes being privately rented, with Wandsworth parking rules in play, 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 Putney SW15 price you agree is the price you pay on Wandsworth bookings, with 72% of homes here being flats.
All three. With 38% of Putney privately rented and 47% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW15 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on SW15 jobs — and 28% of Putney homes being houses, with this being a short walk from Putney (South Western).
Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start is the marker we route to around Putney (South Western) — and 20,613 households on this patch, with 38% of SW15 homes being privately rented, and boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts. A SW15 slot added to an existing Wandsworth round usually lands the same week rather than the next in Putney, with this being a short walk from Putney (South Western).
