The service, locally
Bed assembly in Swiss Cottage
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 Swiss Cottage 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 Swiss Cottage 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; locally that also means measured against the headboard before the van loads, with 21% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
- 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 Swiss Cottage, 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 Swiss Cottage
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your Swiss Cottage 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, with 89% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Camden bookings: every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place, arranged with London Borough of Camden where the kerb needs it
- 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 Swiss Cottage, and the headboard set plumb past the skirting, which is why London Borough of Camden kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded
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 Swiss Cottage
- 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 NW3
- Removal of an old bed, which is quoted alongside the build and carried out under our waste carrier licence, outside the fixed price on Swiss Cottage bookings

Swiss Cottage NW3 leads with these 8 rows because the local bedrooms produce the same order again and again: king frames and upholstered headboards carried up in parts and built in the room on these streets — and with 36% one-person households in Swiss Cottage, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. 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 Camden visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so a boxed divan base is carried once. Finchley Road is a red route; loading is from side streets with permits and lift booking in the blocks.
- 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
- 89% of homes around Swiss Cottage are flats, so lift bookings and stair carries are agreed from your photos before the slot rather than discovered on the day.

Bedrooms and safety
What we are usually building in Swiss Cottage
Most likely here
Swiss Cottage gives us victorian and Edwardian conversions and mansion flats with tall rooms and awkward stairs, where 33% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year
- Most-booked bed
- king frames and upholstered headboards carried up in parts and built in the room on these streets — and with 36% one-person households in Swiss Cottage, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site
- Room constraint
- a period bedroom with a chimney breast in NW3, so the frame is squared to the room rather than to one wall, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here
- Getting it in
- a communal winder stair with a half-landing turn; locally that also means measured against the headboard before the van loads, with 21% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first
- The check that closes the visit
- the frame packed level on an uneven period floor so it does not rock in Swiss Cottage, and the headboard set plumb past the skirting, which is why London Borough of Camden kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded
Swiss Cottage (Jubilee) 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.
3,083 households sit inside the ONS neighbourhood covering Swiss Cottage, and 89% of them are flats — which is why a communal winder stair with a half-landing turn; locally that also means measured against the headboard before the van loads 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 king frames and upholstered headboards carried up in parts and built in the room on these streets — and with 36% one-person households in Swiss Cottage, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the order we quote most around NW3.
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
Swiss Cottage NW3 bed assembly questions
A Swiss Cottage single or double is from £45 and a king from £65. Ottomans are £85 because the lifting mechanism has to be balanced, bunks £95 and cots £55. Hourly cover for unlabelled or part-built frames is £55, minimum one hour.
Allow an hour for a single or double, around eighty minutes for a king, and roughly two hours for an ottoman once the gas struts are balanced. Bunks and cabin beds run to two and a half hours in Swiss Cottage because the frame packed level on an uneven period floor so it does not rock in Swiss Cottage, and the headboard set plumb past the skirting, which is why London Borough of Camden kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Children's beds are the ones we slow down for. Guard rails, ladder fixings and slat supports are set to the maker's spec and checked against BS EN 747, with cots checked against BS EN 716. The frame packed level on an uneven period floor so it does not rock in Swiss Cottage, and the headboard set plumb past the skirting, which is why London Borough of Camden kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
We do not sell mattresses, but we do sequence around them. Send the courier window and the fitter arrives after it, so the frame is built, levelled and made up in one Swiss Cottage visit rather than two.
Dismantling is priced per bed and booked into the same NW3 visit, so nothing is left blocking a hallway. If the frame is being scrapped it leaves with us for licensed disposal rather than going out beside the bins.
