The service, locally
Bed assembly across Camden
Prices are per bed and identical in every Camden 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 Camden bed assembly visit works
- Send the bed, get a fixed priceTell us what is arriving — a double frame, a bunk, an ottoman — and we itemise it per bed, so you can see what each build costs before you accept anything.
- Access and slot sorted for NW3We book the London Borough of Camden permit or bay suspension, and where it applies a communal winder stair with a half-landing turn in NW3, measured against the headboard before the van loads, measured on the walk in from Belsize Park (Northern) rather than assumed from a map.
- Built, checked, packaging goneEvery joint torqued in sequence, slats seated, and the visit closed with the frame packed level on an uneven period floor so it does not rock in NW3, and the headboard set plumb past the skirting, which is why London Borough of Camden kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded before the packaging leaves in the van.

Scope
What is included in Camden
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your Belsize Park list built in the room it is staying in, squared and levelled to the floor you have
- On NW3 jobs: centre support rails and legs seated properly, slats and slat holders set so the frame does not creak, bed assembly included
- Standard on Camden bookings: every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place, with 3,000 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Safety checks on bunks, sleepers and cots against BS EN 747 and BS EN 716 — the frame packed level on an uneven period floor so it does not rock in NW3, and the headboard set plumb past the skirting, which is why London Borough of Camden kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded
- London Borough of Camden permits or bay suspensions where NW3 needs one
- On NW3 jobs: flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping taken away in the van, with 93% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
Not included — and why
- Mattress supply and delivery — we build around the mattress you have ordered rather than selling you one, which we refer on to the right trade in Belsize Park
- Wall-fixed headboards into a wall that needs new structure or a stud repair first (we will quote that as handyman work), quoted separately if you need it arranged in NW3
- Manufacturer spare parts: missing bolts, cams or damaged panels are photographed and ordered at cost with the receipt, outside the fixed price on Belsize Park bookings
- Removal of an old bed, which is quoted alongside the build and carried out under our waste carrier licence, and we will say so before the NW3 visit rather than on the day
- Electrical work on an adjustable base beyond plugging it in, which belongs to a registered electrician, handled by London Borough of Camden or a specialist contractor instead
Why Hello Services
Why book bed assembly in Camden with us
Built silent, not just built
Every Belsize Park frame is torqued in sequence, the centre rail seated on its legs for Belsize Park (NW3) addresses, with 3,000 households on this patch, then rocked deliberately before we leave.
Priced per bed, not per hour
Your NW3 bed is quoted per unit in writing the same working day on this side of Camden, with Belsize Village a few streets away, with no doorstep re-quote when the box turns out heavy.
Safety standards, checked
Bunks and sleepers against BS EN 747, cots against BS EN 716 — guard-rail heights, gaps and ladder fixings measured, not eyeballed across NW3, with 10% social-rented stock nearby.
Same-day around your mattress
Tell us the delivery window and we hold a Belsize Park slot behind it for Belsize Park (NW3) addresses, with 93% of homes here being flats, so nobody sleeps on the floor.

Shown: the 8 beds we quote most around Camden. The other rows of the 16-item London list carry the same fixed prices, wherever the postcode.
£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 Camden visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so a boxed divan base is carried once. Resident-permit streets, hill gradients and conversion flats up three or four flights.
- Charging zones
- Part of Camden sits inside the Congestion Charge zone and all of it is inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and neither charge ever appears on a NW3 invoice.
- Stairs, lifts and the carry
- 93% of homes around Belsize Park 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 Camden
Most likely here
Belsize Park gives us victorian and Edwardian conversions and mansion flats with tall rooms and awkward stairs, which is what a 93% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Belsize Park actually produces
- Most-booked bed
- king frames and upholstered headboards carried up in parts and built in the room on these streets — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here
- Room constraint
- a period bedroom with a chimney breast; locally that also means so the frame is squared to the room rather than to one wall, the reality on the streets around Belsize Village
- Getting it in
- a communal winder stair with a half-landing turn in NW3, measured against the headboard before the van loads, measured on the walk in from Belsize Park (Northern) rather than assumed from a map
- The check that closes the visit
- the frame packed level on an uneven period floor so it does not rock in NW3, and the headboard set plumb past the skirting, which is why London Borough of Camden kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded
The stock here is Belsize Park gives us victorian and Edwardian conversions and mansion flats with tall rooms and awkward stairs, which is what a 93% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Belsize Park actually produces, and the constraint we plan around is a period bedroom with a chimney breast; locally that also means so the frame is squared to the room rather than to one wall, the reality on the streets around Belsize Village.
45% of Belsize Park households are one-person, which is why single frames and headboard fittings outnumber whole-house bunk days here.
Belsize Park (Northern) is the nearest station and London Borough of Camden 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
Camden bed assembly questions
Per bed and identical in every Camden 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 16 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. Camden's CPZs run seven days in parts of Kentish Town and Camden Town; narrow Hampstead lanes rarely take anything bigger than a Luton.
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 Camden, and the cost is already inside your quote. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and the Congestion Charge is on us where it applies.
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.
