The service, locally
Bed assembly in Holborn
Every frame is built in the room it is staying in, levelled to the floor you actually have, and rocked deliberately before we leave so you know it is silent. Prices are per bed and fixed in writing before we arrive.
Two or three beds in one Holborn visit cost less than the same beds booked separately, because you pay for one carry, one permit and one set-up rather than three.

How it works
How a Holborn 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 Holborn, confirm the access route and put the whole figure in writing the same working day.
- Access and slot sorted for WC1Inns of Court gate access, weekday loading windows and listed staircases. We confirm the carry route for a headboard and a boxed base, then reserve the kerb so the parts move once.
- Built, checked, packaging goneWe build where the bed is staying, level it to the floor you actually have, and finish with the frame squared before final tightening in Holborn, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, the reality on the streets around Lincoln's Inn Fields.

Scope
What is included in Holborn
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your Holborn list built in the room it is staying in, squared and levelled to the floor you have
- Centre support rails and legs seated properly, slats and slat holders set so the frame does not creak, noted on the Holborn job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Holborn: every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place, timed against the walk in from Holborn (Central, Piccadilly)
- Safety checks on bunks, sleepers and cots against BS EN 747 and BS EN 716 — the frame squared before final tightening in Holborn, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, the reality on the streets around Lincoln's Inn Fields
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 Camden 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 Holborn
- Manufacturer spare parts: missing bolts, cams or damaged panels are photographed and ordered at cost with the receipt, outside the fixed price on Holborn 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 WC1 visit rather than on the day
Why Hello Services
Why book bed assembly in Holborn with us
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 on the Holborn rounds, with 95% of homes here being flats.
Same-day around your mattress
Tell us the delivery window and we hold a Holborn slot behind it in this 95% flats neighbourhood, with 30% of WC1 homes being privately rented, so nobody sleeps on the floor.
Old bed out, new bed in
Take-down, bagged fixings and licensed removal in the same visit, instead of a dismantled frame living on the landing on the streets near Lincoln's Inn Fields, with 95% of homes here being flats. London Borough of Camden rules apply where the kerb or a bay suspension is involved.
Common fixings in the van
Bolts, cams, barrel nuts and slat holders on board on Camden bookings, with 5% of Holborn homes being houses, so a short-shipped pack still finishes the same evening.

Holborn (Central, Piccadilly) 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.
3,090 households sit inside the ONS neighbourhood covering Holborn, and 95% of them are flats — which is why deck access or one lift shared with the whole block in WC1 decides the slot length more often than the bed does.
Homes in Camden average 2.14 bedrooms and 23% of households here have dependent children, so children's beds in Holborn, sturdy metal frames and take-downs of the bed the room already has — where 18% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the order we quote most around WC1.
We carry bolts, cams, barrel nuts, lock washers and common slat holders, so most short-shipped packs still finish the same visit.

Questions
Holborn WC1 bed assembly questions
Pricing is per bed and agreed in writing first. Singles and doubles start at £45, kings at £65, ottoman storage beds at £85, bunks at £95 and cots at £55. Where a frame is second-hand or the instructions are long gone we work at £55 an hour instead.
Most single and double frames take about an hour. A king frame is closer to eighty minutes, an ottoman two hours, and a bunk or cabin bed two to two and a half hours because the frame squared before final tightening in Holborn, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, the reality on the streets around Lincoln's Inn Fields. Two beds in one WC1 visit are quicker than two separate call-outs.
Bunks, mid sleepers, high sleepers and cots are built to the maker's instructions and checked against BS EN 747 (bunk and high beds) or BS EN 716 (cots). The frame squared before final tightening in Holborn, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, the reality on the streets around Lincoln's Inn Fields.
Mattresses stay with you; we build the frame around whatever arrives. Give us the delivery window and we slot the WC1 visit behind it so the bed is usable that night. Same-day timing costs a little more and is priced before you commit.
Yes. Taking the old bed apart is a fixed extra per bed, fixings bagged and labelled so it can go back together elsewhere. Where it is being thrown out we remove it under our waste carrier licence rather than leaving it on the Holborn landing.
