The service, locally
Bed assembly across Brent
Prices are per bed and identical in every Brent postcode. What changes locally is access: the permit, the lift booking and the stair carry, all arranged and paid for by us before the slot.
Bunks, mid sleepers, high sleepers and cots are checked against BS EN 747 and BS EN 716 before the mattress goes on, and every visit ends with the packaging in our van.

How it works
How a Brent bed assembly visit works
- Send the bed, get a fixed pricePhotograph the delivery stack and the bedroom it is going in. We size the slot for Cricklewood, confirm the access route and put the whole figure in writing the same working day.
- Access and slot sorted for NW2Access is settled before the day: a booked goods lift and a loading-bay window agreed before the slot — and concierge sign-in, and with 34% one-person households in Cricklewood, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, with the London Borough of Brent permit arranged and paid for by us.
- Built, checked, packaging goneDust sheets down, the frame built in the room, the ottoman lifted and held loaded in Cricklewood, strut rating matched to the mattress weight and the lift travel checked against the window, measured on the walk in from Cricklewood (Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in Brent
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your Cricklewood list built in the room it is staying in, squared and levelled to the floor you have
- On NW2 jobs: centre support rails and legs seated properly, slats and slat holders set so the frame does not creak, agreed on the doorstep in Cricklewood before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Brent bookings: every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place, allowing for the 47% of NW2 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Safety checks on bunks, sleepers and cots against BS EN 747 and BS EN 716 — the ottoman lifted and held loaded in Cricklewood, strut rating matched to the mattress weight and the lift travel checked against the window, measured on the walk in from Cricklewood (Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map
- London Borough of Brent permits or bay suspensions where NW2 needs one
- On NW2 jobs: flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping taken away in the van, bunk beds included
Not included — and why
- Mattress supply and delivery — we build around the mattress you have ordered rather than selling you one, handled by London Borough of Brent or a specialist contractor instead
- Wall-fixed headboards into a wall that needs new structure or a stud repair first (we will quote that as handyman work), which we refer on to the right trade in Cricklewood
- Manufacturer spare parts: missing bolts, cams or damaged panels are photographed and ordered at cost with the receipt, quoted separately if you need it arranged in NW2
- Removal of an old bed, which is quoted alongside the build and carried out under our waste carrier licence, outside the fixed price on Cricklewood bookings
- Electrical work on an adjustable base beyond plugging it in, which belongs to a registered electrician, and we will say so before the NW2 visit rather than on the day
Why Hello Services
Why book bed assembly in Brent with us
Built silent, not just built
Every Cricklewood frame is torqued in sequence, the centre rail seated on its legs on Brent bookings, with Cricklewood Broadway a few streets away, then rocked deliberately before we leave.
Priced per bed, not per hour
Your NW2 bed is quoted per unit in writing the same working day for Cricklewood (NW2) addresses, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood, with no doorstep re-quote when the box turns out heavy.
Safety standards, checked
For NW2 bookings, bunks and sleepers against BS EN 747, cots against BS EN 716 — guard-rail heights, gaps and ladder fixings measured, not eyeballed on Brent bookings, with 74% of homes here being flats. Around Cricklewood (Thameslink) we allow for the parking and the walk-in before the slot is confirmed.
Same-day around your mattress
Tell us the delivery window and we hold a Cricklewood slot behind it on Brent bookings, with 19% social-rented stock nearby, so nobody sleeps on the floor.
Per-bed prices
Bed assembly prices in Brent
| Bed | From | To | Build time | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ottoman bed, double gas strut or side-lift | £110 | £170 | 2 hrs 10 mins | Strut rating matched to the mattress weight, base tested loaded before we leave the room |
| Ottoman bed, single gas strut | £85 | £130 | 1 hr 40 mins | Struts fitted last and balanced so the lid holds mid-lift instead of sinking on the mattress |
| Single or double bed frame (wood or metal) | £45 | £75 | 55 mins | Centre support rail seated, every bolt torqued, slats and slat holders set so nothing creaks |
| Sofa bed frame and mechanism | £85 | £145 | 1 hr 45 mins | Mechanism cycled through its full travel, feet levelled, arms and back squared to the base |
| Divan base with headboard fitting | £55 | £95 | 1 hr | Halves joined and clipped, castors or glides fitted, headboard struts set to your mattress height |
| Day bed or trundle | £65 | £110 | 1 hr 15 mins | Trundle rollers set to clear the skirting, back and side rails squared so the frame sits flat |
| Upholstered bed frame | £75 | £125 | 1 hr 30 mins | Fabric panels handled clean, bolt covers refitted, headboard bolted plumb to the base |
| Headboard fitting only | £35 | £55 | 30 mins | Bolted or wall-fixed level, packers used where the skirting throws the board off plumb |
Brent leads with these 8 rows because the local bedrooms produce the same order again and again: because the flat has no loft and no cupboard to spare — and ottoman and gas-lift storage beds — a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. The rest of the 16-item list is priced identically.
£45 minimum per visit. Prices include VAT, the van, the tools and taking the flattened packaging away. Nothing is added on the day without your written agreement first. Prices assume the boxes are delivered to the room the bed is being built in. Where a king headboard or a divan base has to come up a winder stair we flag the carry from your photos before booking, never on the day.

- Parking and permits
- London Borough of Brent visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so a boxed divan base is carried once. A5 red route, permit bays and terraced streets with tight parking.
- Charging zones
- Brent sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and neither charge ever appears on a NW2 invoice.
- Stairs, lifts and the carry
- 74% of homes around Cricklewood are flats, so lift bookings and stair carries are agreed from your photos before the slot rather than discovered on the day.
Prices assume the boxes are delivered to the room the bed is being built in. Where a king headboard or a divan base has to come up a winder stair we flag the carry from your photos before booking, never on the day.
Bedrooms and safety
What we are usually building in Brent
Most likely here
Cricklewood gives us post-2010 apartments with compact bedrooms and storage built into the furniture, where 34% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year
- Most-booked bed
- because the flat has no loft and no cupboard to spare — and ottoman and gas-lift storage beds — a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here
- Room constraint
- where the ottoman lid has to clear the window reveal as it lifts — and a bedroom sized to the mattress, and with 47% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does
- Getting it in
- a booked goods lift and a loading-bay window agreed before the slot — and concierge sign-in, and with 34% one-person households in Cricklewood, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site
- The check that closes the visit

The stock here is Cricklewood gives us post-2010 apartments with compact bedrooms and storage built into the furniture, where 34% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, and the constraint we plan around is where the ottoman lid has to clear the window reveal as it lifts — and a bedroom sized to the mattress, and with 47% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
34% of Cricklewood households are one-person, which is why single frames and headboard fittings outnumber whole-house bunk days here.
Cricklewood (Thameslink) is the nearest station and London Borough of Brent controls the kerb outside, so the permit is bought before the van leaves rather than argued about on the pavement.
We carry bolts, cams, barrel nuts, lock washers and common slat holders, so most short-shipped packs still finish the same visit. Missing or damaged manufacturer parts are photographed on the spot with the model and part number, so your replacement is ordered the same day rather than after a wasted evening.

Questions
Brent bed assembly questions
Per bed and identical in every Brent postcode: from £45 for a single or double frame, £65 for a king, £85 for an ottoman storage bed, £95 for a bunk and £55 for a cot. Hourly is £55 where the frame is second-hand or has no instructions.
All 10 areas, each with its own page covering the local bedroom stock, the bed that area books most and what a boxed base has to get through to reach the room. Event-day controls around Wembley, CPZs along Kilburn High Road, and new-build blocks needing lift and bay booking.
Yes, on every build. Bunks, mid sleepers and high sleepers are checked against BS EN 747 — guard-rail height above the mattress, ladder fixings and gap sizes — and cots against BS EN 716. Nothing is signed off until the frame is square and every bolt torqued.
Yes. Void turnarounds, furnished-let packs and student handovers are handled with photographs on completion, an itemised invoice per property and one contact for a portfolio. We can attend with keys from the agent.
Where a visitor permit or bay suspension is needed we arrange and pay for it with London Borough of Brent, and the cost is already inside your quote. Our vans are ULEZ compliant.
Yes — £1m public liability, DBS-checked fitters, and photographs of every completed bed. If a joint we torqued works loose we come back and put it right.
