That old mattress wedged against your wardrobe isn't going anywhere on its own—and getting it down the narrow stairs of a Victorian terrace in King's Norton, then somehow fitting it into your hatchback? That's a weekend ruined before it starts. Whether you're upgrading to a new bed, clearing out a rental property on Pershore Road South, or tackling a house clearance after a family move, professional mattress removal in King's Norton takes the strain, the stress, and the scratched paintwork out of the equation. Our fully licensed, two-person teams handle everything from collection to responsible disposal, often on the same day you call.
Why King's Norton Residents Choose Professional Mattress Removal
King's Norton's mix of period properties, modern estates, and narrow access roads creates unique challenges for bulky waste removal. You might be dealing with a ground-floor flat with no parking zone restrictions along Redditch Road, or a three-storey semi where the mattress needs manoeuvring around tight landings. Council bulky waste collections can mean waiting weeks for a slot, and skips require permits, take up precious parking space, and still leave you doing all the heavy lifting yourself.
Our service removes every friction point: we bring the labour, the vehicle, and the proper waste carrier licence. You point, we load, and within the hour your space is clear. No waiting for permits. No risk of a strained back. No uncertainty about whether your old mattress will end up fly-tipped because the "man with a van" on social media wasn't actually registered with the Environment Agency.
What's Included in Our King's Norton Mattress Removal Service
When you book mattress removal with us, you're getting a complete, no-hassle solution:
- Two uniformed team members who do all the lifting, carrying, and loading—you don't touch a thing
- Same-day and scheduled appointments available, including evenings and weekends to fit around your schedule
- Full property protection: mattresses navigated safely through doorways, down stairs, around corners without damage to walls or banisters
- Sweep and tidy of the collection area once items are removed
- Legal waste transfer note issued for every job, proving your duty of care compliance
- Recycling-first approach: up to 90% of collected waste diverted from landfill through sorting, recycling partners, and charity reuse programmes
We're not just mattress specialists—the same load can include sofas, bed frames, wardrobes, white goods, garden waste, and general household junk. One call clears multiple rooms, making us the practical alternative to hiring a skip you'd need to fill yourself.
Navigating King's Norton's Parking and Access Challenges
Anyone who's tried to park a large vehicle on The Green or near the shops on Pershore Road knows that King's Norton wasn't designed for modern removal lorries. Our teams are locally experienced and come prepared for the realities of the area:
Permit zones and loading restrictions: We factor in collection times that work within local parking regulations and arrive with the right paperwork when loading bays are needed. If your property sits within a controlled parking zone, we plan the job to minimise disruption and avoid fines.
Narrow access and shared alleyways: Terraced properties with rear access via ginnels, or estates with tight turning circles, require careful vehicle positioning. We've handled countless collections from properties where a standard skip lorry simply won't fit, using smaller vehicles and extra manual handling where needed.
Stairwell and doorway logistics: Period conversions and maisonettes often mean tight turns on landings or mattresses that need tilting at precise angles. Our teams assess access on arrival and adapt their approach—protecting your property and theirs throughout.
Can You Remove More Than Just Mattresses?
Absolutely. While mattresses are one of our most common calls, we handle the full spectrum of household and commercial bulky waste:
- Furniture: sofas, armchairs, dining sets, wardrobes, bed frames, desks, cabinets
- Appliances and white goods: fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers, dishwashers (we handle WEEE disposal correctly)
- Renovation and DIY waste: carpets, floorboards, doors, sinks, toilets, plasterboard offcuts (non-hazardous only)
- Garden waste: shed clearances, soil, turf, branches, patio furniture, decking
- Office and commercial items: filing cabinets, office chairs, desks, electronics, light commercial stock
We cannot accept: asbestos, gas cylinders, chemical waste, paint tins with liquid content, clinical waste, tyres, or hazardous materials. If you're unsure whether an item is acceptable, a quick call to 07751 979473 will get you a straight answer.
Where Does Your Old Mattress Actually Go?
This question matters more than most people realise. Unlicensed operators often promise cheap removal, then fly-tip your mattress in a lay-by or country lane—leaving you legally liable as the original waste holder if it's traced back. When you use a registered waste carrier like us, you receive documented proof that your waste was handled lawfully.
Our disposal hierarchy prioritises reuse and recycling. Mattresses in good condition go to charity partners or social enterprises that refurbish and redistribute them. Those beyond reuse are sent to specialist facilities where metal springs, foam, and fabric are separated and processed into raw materials. White goods are taken to WEEE-compliant centres where refrigerants are safely recovered and metals reclaimed. Even renovation waste is sorted so timber, metal, and aggregate can be recovered rather than buried.
We achieve landfill diversion rates approaching 90% across most job types—not because it's a marketing line, but because responsible waste management is both better business and the right thing to do.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does mattress removal cost in King's Norton?
Pricing depends on the number and type of items, access difficulty, and how quickly you need the service. A single mattress with straightforward access typically costs less than a full house clearance, and same-day service may carry a premium during busy periods. We always quote upfront by phone or text once we understand your requirements—no hidden fees, no surprise charges on the day.
Can you really do same-day mattress removal?
Yes, subject to scheduling availability. If you call before midday on a weekday, we can often attend the same afternoon. Weekend and evening slots are available for scheduled bookings, which is ideal if you're coordinating with a furniture delivery or tenancy handover. Call 07751 979473 to check current availability.
Do you provide a waste transfer note, and why does it matter?
Every collection includes a waste transfer note as standard. This document proves you fulfilled your legal duty of care by passing waste to a licensed carrier. If waste is later found fly-tipped and traced back to you, this note is your evidence that you used a legitimate service. Unlicensed operators won't—or can't—provide one.
What if my mattress won't fit through the door or down the stairs?
Our teams are trained in awkward furniture removal and come equipped with the right straps, protective coverings, and techniques to navigate tight spaces safely. In rare cases where an item genuinely can't be manoeuvred, we'll discuss options like dismantling (for bed frames) or alternative access routes. Across thousands of jobs, we've yet to meet a King's Norton property that's beaten us.
How long does a typical mattress removal take?
Most single-item collections—one or two mattresses with straightforward access—are completed within 20–30 minutes of our arrival. Larger clearances involving multiple rooms or complex access can take one to two hours. We provide an estimated arrival window when you book and send an ETA text when we're nearby, so you're never left waiting around all day.
Can you take other bulky items at the same time?
Definitely—and it's cost-effective to do so. Whether it's a sofa that's also seen better days, an old fridge in the garage, or bags of loft clearance, adding items to the same visit spreads the travel and labour cost. Just let us know what else needs removing when you book so we can allocate the right vehicle and time.
