The service, locally
Bed assembly in Croydon
We seat the centre rail and its legs on the floor, torque in sequence, then re-check once the slats are in. Bunks, sleepers and cots get a safety check against the published standard before the mattress goes on.
Same-day and evening slots exist for a reason — a mattress arrives, the old bed is already dismantled, and nobody wants to sleep on the floor. Tell us the delivery window and we book the CR0 slot behind it for £35.

How it works
How a Croydon 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 Croydon, confirm the access route and put the whole figure in writing the same working day.
- Access and slot sorted for CR0Tram tracks limit kerbside loading, one-way system throughout and booked lifts in every tower. 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 ottoman lifted and held loaded in Croydon, strut rating matched to the mattress weight and the lift travel checked against the window, and with 36% one-person households in Croydon, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.

Scope
What is included in Croydon
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your Croydon 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 — including bunk beds
- In Croydon: every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place, the way it is done on Croydon jobs
- Safety checks on bunks, sleepers and cots against BS EN 747 and BS EN 716 — the ottoman lifted and held loaded in Croydon, strut rating matched to the mattress weight and the lift travel checked against the window, and with 36% one-person households in Croydon, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site
Not included — and why
- Mattress supply and delivery — we build around the mattress you have ordered rather than selling you one, and we will say so before the CR0 visit rather than on the day
- Wall-fixed headboards into a wall that needs new structure or a stud repair first (we will quote that as handyman work), handled by London Borough of Croydon or a specialist contractor instead
- 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 CR0
- Removal of an old bed, which is quoted alongside the build and carried out under our waste carrier licence, outside the fixed price on Croydon bookings
Why Hello Services
Why book bed assembly in Croydon with us
Safety standards, checked
For CR0 bookings, bunks and sleepers against BS EN 747, cots against BS EN 716 — guard-rail heights, gaps and ladder fixings measured, not eyeballed in this 71% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood. It works the same way on every Croydon (CR0) booking.
Same-day around your mattress
Tell us the delivery window and we hold a Croydon slot behind it on this side of Croydon, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, 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 in this 71% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood. London Borough of Croydon 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 in Croydon, with 36% one-person households here, so a short-shipped pack still finishes the same evening.
Per-bed prices
Bed assembly prices in Croydon
| 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 |

| 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 |
| Headboard fitting only | £35 | £55 | 30 mins | Bolted or wall-fixed level, packers used where the skirting throws the board off plumb |
| Bunk bed (standard two-tier)Checked against the safety standard | £95 | £150 | 2 hrs 10 mins | Guard-rail heights, ladder fixings and gaps checked against BS EN 747, every bolt torqued |
Croydon CR0 leads with these 8 rows because the local bedrooms produce the same order again and again: ottoman and gas-lift storage beds in Croydon, because the flat has no loft and no cupboard to spare — the reality on the streets around Boxpark Croydon and the Whitgift Centre. 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 Croydon visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so a boxed divan base is carried once. Tram tracks limit kerbside loading, one-way system throughout and booked lifts in every tower.
- Charging zones
- Croydon sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and neither charge ever appears on a CR0 invoice.
- Stairs, lifts and the carry
- 71% of homes around Croydon 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 Croydon
Most likely here
post-2010 apartments with compact bedrooms and storage built into the furniture, as the Croydon stock goes, which is what a 71% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Croydon actually produces
- Most-booked bed
- ottoman and gas-lift storage beds in Croydon, because the flat has no loft and no cupboard to spare — the reality on the streets around Boxpark Croydon and the Whitgift Centre
- Room constraint
- a bedroom sized to the mattress in Croydon, where the ottoman lid has to clear the window reveal as it lifts, where 34% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year
- Getting it in
- concierge sign-in; locally that also means a booked goods lift and a loading-bay window agreed before the slot, which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded
- The check that closes the visit
- the ottoman lifted and held loaded in Croydon, strut rating matched to the mattress weight and the lift travel checked against the window, and with 36% one-person households in Croydon, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site
Homes in Croydon average 2.61 bedrooms and 34% of households here have dependent children, so ottoman and gas-lift storage beds in Croydon, because the flat has no loft and no cupboard to spare — the reality on the streets around Boxpark Croydon and the Whitgift Centre is the order we quote most around CR0.
43% of homes around CR0 are privately rented, so a large share of Croydon bookings are tenancy-start builds where the mattress delivery, not the weekend, sets the date.
The stock here is post-2010 apartments with compact bedrooms and storage built into the furniture, as the Croydon stock goes, which is what a 71% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Croydon actually produces, and the constraint we plan around is a bedroom sized to the mattress in Croydon, where the ottoman lid has to clear the window reveal as it lifts, where 34% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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
Croydon CR0 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 CR0 with a one-hour minimum.
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 Croydon because the ottoman lifted and held loaded in Croydon, strut rating matched to the mattress weight and the lift travel checked against the window, and with 36% one-person households in Croydon, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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 ottoman lifted and held loaded in Croydon, strut rating matched to the mattress weight and the lift travel checked against the window, and with 36% one-person households in Croydon, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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 Croydon visit rather than two.
Dismantling is priced per bed and booked into the same CR0 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.
