Overview
Mattress and bed disposal in Wandsworth Town SW18, explained
This page prices mattress and bed disposal for Wandsworth Town SW18 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 38% privately rented and 4,214 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Wandsworth permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How mattress and bed disposal works in Wandsworth Town
Five steps, the same on every SW18 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Wandsworth Town stock goes, and with 38% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Tell us size and floor
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
Fixed written quote
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
Dismantle the base first
Divan bases and bunk frames come apart where they will not pass a stair turn or a communal lift door whole.
Step 4
Wrap and carry
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
Weigh in and receipt
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
Why Wandsworth Town customers book us
Four things decide whether a SW18 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
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. Wandsworth Town (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW18 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Wandsworth Town walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SW18, with metal stud partitions between rooms — the reality on the streets around The Ram Quarter and Wandsworth Park in SW18, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — and with 32% one-person households in Wandsworth Town, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Insured and documented
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
Mattress and bed disposal prices in Wandsworth Town
Fixed prices for SW18 and the rest of Wandsworth. Mattress size and whether the base comes too, then the floor it sits on. A mattress cannot be compacted in the van, 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.
| 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
What's included in Wandsworth Town
The same scope across SW18, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SW18 jobs: two crew who carry from the bedroom — nothing has to be dragged to the front door first, agreed on the doorstep in Wandsworth Town before anything is unpacked
- In Wandsworth Town: bed frames and divan bases unscrewed and broken down where a stair turn or lift will not take them whole, timed against the walk in from Wandsworth Town (South Western)
- Mattresses wrapped for the carry so a stained or worn unit does not mark the stairwell or hallway, noted on the Wandsworth Town job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Wandsworth bookings: waste transfer note issued in your name on the day, with our carrier registration number on it, allowing for the 38% of SW18 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On SW18 jobs: springs, foam and fabric separated for recycling at a site permitted to strip mattresses, mattress and bed disposal prices included
- In Wandsworth Town: same-day and next-morning slots so a new bed delivery is never held up by the old one still being in the room, sized for the one-way gyratory, riverside estate permits and narrow tonsleys lanes
Not included
- Mattresses soaked through with bodily fluid contamination requiring a biohazard route rather than standard disposal, which we refer on to the right trade in Wandsworth Town
- Bed bug or pest-infested mattresses, which need pest control treatment before collection can proceed safely, handled by London Borough of Wandsworth or a specialist contractor instead
- Fitting or assembling a replacement bed, which is booked separately as a flat-pack or bed-assembly visit, and we will say so before the SW18 visit rather than on the day
- Structural bed frames fixed to the wall or floor, which need a joiner rather than a clearance crew, outside the fixed price on Wandsworth Town bookings

The cleaners Constantin and arrived in time and never stopped until the work was completed to the best of their ability.
