The service, locally
Bed assembly in Kentish Town
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 Kentish Town visit cost less than the same beds booked separately, because you pay for one carry, one permit and one set-up rather than three.

Bedrooms and safety
What we are usually building in Kentish Town
Most likely here
council and housing-association blocks with consistent room sizes and lift-served floors
- Most-booked bed
- children's beds, sturdy metal frames and take-downs of the bed the room already has
- Room constraint
- a compact second bedroom where a bunk or a cabin bed buys back the floor a single frame wastes
- Getting it in
- deck access or one lift shared with the whole block, so we book a delivery window rather than gamble
- The check that closes the visit
- the frame squared before final tightening, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept
The stock here is council and housing-association blocks with consistent room sizes and lift-served floors, and the constraint we plan around is a compact second bedroom where a bunk or a cabin bed buys back the floor a single frame wastes.
36% of Kentish Town households are one-person, which is why single frames and headboard fittings outnumber whole-house bunk days here.
Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink) 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.
Hello Services is an independent assembly company. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to IKEA, Dreams, Bensons, Emma, Simba or any other bed retailer. Brand and range names are used only to describe the beds we build.

Shown: the 8 beds we quote most around Kentish Town NW5. 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.
Why Hello Services
Why book bed assembly in Kentish Town with us
Permits and access handled
London Borough of Camden permits, bay suspensions, concierge sign-in and goods-lift booking are arranged and paid for by us.
The local fault, avoided
Metal frames tightened in the wrong order, which locks the frame out of square and shears a bolt head — which is exactly what our final check is for.
Built silent, not just built
Every Kentish Town frame is torqued in sequence, the centre rail seated on its legs, then rocked deliberately before we leave.
Priced per bed, not per hour
Your NW5 bed is quoted per unit in writing the same working day, with no doorstep re-quote when the box turns out heavy.
Rates and local costs
Fixed per bed, or hourly, in Kentish Town
One bed, fixed price
£45
from, per bed
A single frame built, levelled, torqued and safety-checked, with the cardboard taken away.
Hourly rate
£55
per hour, one-hour minimum
For mixed lists, second-hand frames and beds that arrived without their instructions.
Bed disassembly
£40
per bed
Taken apart, fixings bagged and labelled, parts stacked ready for the move or collection.
Disassembly and reassembly
£95
per bed, moving day
Stripped at one address and rebuilt at the other, so the first night in the new place is a made bed.
- 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. Seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access.
- 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 NW5 invoice.
- Stairs, lifts and the carry
- 86% of homes around Kentish Town 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.
Scope
What is included in Kentish Town
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your Kentish Town 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
- Every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place
- Safety checks on bunks, sleepers and cots against BS EN 747 and BS EN 716 — the frame squared before final tightening, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept
- London Borough of Camden permits or bay suspensions where NW5 needs one
- Flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping taken away in the van
Not included — and why
- Mattress supply and delivery — we build around the mattress you have ordered rather than selling you one
- Wall-fixed headboards into a wall that needs new structure or a stud repair first (we will quote that as handyman work)
- Manufacturer spare parts: missing bolts, cams or damaged panels are photographed and ordered at cost with the receipt
- Removal of an old bed, which is quoted alongside the build and carried out under our waste carrier licence
- Electrical work on an adjustable base beyond plugging it in, which belongs to a registered electrician

Questions
Kentish Town NW5 bed assembly questions
Per bed, fixed before we arrive: a single or double frame from £45, a king or super-king from £65, an ottoman storage bed from £85, a bunk from £95 and a cot from £55. Hourly work, for second-hand frames without instructions, is £55 an hour in NW5 with a one-hour minimum.
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, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept. Two beds in one NW5 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, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept.
We work around your mattress rather than supplying one. If it is being delivered the same day, tell us the window and we hold a Kentish Town slot after it so the bed is made up the same evening — that slot carries a small same-day charge, confirmed in writing first.
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 landing.
Almost always a seating problem, not a broken bed. Metal frames tightened in the wrong order, which locks the frame out of square and shears a bolt head. We torque in sequence, seat the centre rail and its legs on the floor, then rock the finished frame deliberately before we leave.
Usually yes. Deck access or one lift shared with the whole block, so we book a delivery window rather than gamble. Seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access. London Borough of Camden permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit, and an upper-floor stair carry is flagged from your photos rather than sprung on you on the day.
Most NW5 bookings are fitted within two to three working days, and we hold same-day and evening slots for delivery days and tenancy starts. Send the model or a photo of the boxes and you have a fixed written price the same working day.
