Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Roehampton fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for mattress and bed disposal in Roehampton SW15? We work in Roehampton most weeks — the Alton Estate's modernist slabs beside Richmond Park's Roehampton Gate — 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 Roehampton SW15 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Wandsworth, most of them inter-war. 9,539 households sit inside this SW15 patch, 75% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Alton Estate and Richmond Park 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
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. Slab blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and steep estate approaches.
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. Barnes (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Roehampton, often with surface conduit, and with 31% one-person households in Roehampton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SW15, 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 Roehampton stock goes, and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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 Roehampton
Roehampton SW15 is inter-war and social-housing-led: 75% of homes here are flats and 25% are houses, across 9,539 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 25% of Roehampton is privately rented and 40% socially rented, a lot of SW15 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Roehampton, often with surface conduit, and with 31% one-person households in Roehampton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so the fixing that matters in Roehampton is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Roehampton stock goes, and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
The Alton Estate's modernist slabs beside Richmond Park's Roehampton Gate. That character decides the practical detail of mattress and bed disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Roehampton is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Slab blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and steep estate approaches. Nearest station is Barnes (South Western), and 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.

Single mattress, any type starts at £45 in Roehampton across SW15, with 25% of Roehampton homes being houses, 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 Roehampton rounds, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van for Roehampton (SW15) addresses — and Wandsworth parking rules in play, with 35% 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.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions in this 75% flats neighbourhood, with 35% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Roehampton most weeks on this side of Wandsworth, with this being a short walk from Barnes (South Western).
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on this side of Wandsworth, with this being a short walk from Barnes (South Western).
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Roehampton rounds. With 75% of Roehampton homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across SW15 — and 75% of homes here being flats, with 40% social-rented stock nearby, 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, which is booked separately as a flat-pack or bed-assembly visit; Structural bed frames fixed to the wall or floor on the Roehampton rounds — and 25% of Roehampton homes being houses, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, which need a joiner rather than a clearance crew. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Roehampton SW15 price you agree is the price you pay on SW15 jobs, with 9,539 households on this patch.
All three. With 25% of Roehampton privately rented and 35% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW15 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Roehampton (SW15) addresses — and The Alton Estate and Richmond Park a few streets away, with 25% of Roehampton homes being houses.
The Alton Estate and Richmond Park is the marker we route to across SW15, with this being a short walk from Barnes (South Western), and slab blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and steep estate approaches. A SW15 slot added to an existing Wandsworth round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Wandsworth, with 35% owner-occupation locally.
