Overview
This page prices mattress and bed disposal for Temple and Aldwych WC2 specifically: period conversion stock, 44% privately rented and 3,927 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and Westminster City Council 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. Embankment red route, Inns gate control and no loading on the Strand at peak times.
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. Temple (Circle, District) is the nearest station, so a WC2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Temple and Aldwych, with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Temple (Circle, District) rather than assumed from a map in WC2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Temple and Aldwych gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, where 28% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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 Temple and Aldwych
Temple and Aldwych WC2 is period conversion and renter-heavy: 95% of homes here are flats and 5% are houses, across 3,927 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 44% of Temple and Aldwych is privately rented and 29% socially rented, a lot of WC2 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Temple and Aldwych substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Temple and Aldwych, with metal stud partitions between rooms, measured on the walk in from Temple (Circle, District) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Temple and Aldwych gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, where 28% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a WC2 customer twice.
Barristers' chambers, King's College buildings and the crescent of Aldwych. That character decides the practical detail of mattress and bed disposal here far more than the borough boundary does. Temple and Aldwych sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Embankment red route, Inns gate control and no loading on the Strand at peak times. Nearest station is Temple (Circle, District), 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.
