The service, locally
Bed assembly in Thornton Heath
The price you are quoted is the price you pay: per bed, agreed in writing, with the carry, the London Borough of Croydon permit and taking the packaging away already inside it.
If the old bed has to come out first, we take it apart, bag and label the fixings, and either stack it flat or remove it under our waste carrier licence. It happens in the same visit, not a second one.

How it works
How a Thornton Heath 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 CR7Access is settled before the day: kerbside or driveway unloading; locally that also means then a straight stair with a turn at the top, the pattern behind 12,862 households inside the CR7 neighbourhood, with the London Borough of Croydon permit arranged and paid for by us.
- Built, checked, packaging goneDust sheets down, the frame built in the room, ladder fixings torqued at both ends and every gap checked against BS EN 747, over guard-rail height measured above the mattress, where 54% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in Thornton Heath
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your Thornton Heath 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 Thornton Heath job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Thornton Heath: every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place, timed against the walk in from Thornton Heath (Southern)
- On CR7 jobs: safety checks on bunks, sleepers and cots against BS EN 747 and BS EN 716 — ladder fixings torqued at both ends and every gap checked against BS EN 747, over guard-rail height measured above the mattress, where 54% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, agreed on the doorstep in Thornton Heath before anything is unpacked
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 Thornton Heath
- 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 CR7
- Manufacturer spare parts: missing bolts, cams or damaged panels are photographed and ordered at cost with the receipt, and we will say so before the CR7 visit rather than on the day
- Removal of an old bed, which is quoted alongside the build and carried out under our waste carrier licence, handled by London Borough of Croydon or a specialist contractor instead

Why book bed assembly in Thornton Heath with us
Permits and access handled
London Borough of Croydon permits, bay suspensions, concierge sign-in and goods-lift booking are arranged and paid for by us in Thornton Heath, with 38% of homes here being flats.
The local fault, avoided
Which is the single most common bunk-bed fault we are called back to correct — and a guard rail set below the mattress line — which is why London Borough of Croydon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded — which is exactly what our final check is for in this 38% flats neighbourhood — and 31% of CR7 homes being privately rented, with Croydon parking rules in play.
Built silent, not just built
Every Thornton Heath frame is torqued in sequence, the centre rail seated on its legs on CR7 jobs, with Selhurst Park a few streets away, then rocked deliberately before we leave.
Priced per bed, not per hour
Your CR7 bed is quoted per unit in writing the same working day for Thornton Heath (CR7) addresses, with 54% owner-occupation locally, with no doorstep re-quote when the box turns out heavy.

Thornton Heath CR7 leads with these 8 rows because the local bedrooms produce the same order again and again: mid sleepers and cot-bed conversions, often two or three frames in one visit — and bunk beds — and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. 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. Match-day parking bans, high-street loading windows and narrow terraced streets.
- Charging zones
- Croydon sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and neither charge ever appears on a CR7 invoice.
- Stairs, lifts and the carry
- 38% of homes around Thornton Heath 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.

What we are usually building in Thornton Heath
Most likely here
family houses with two; locally that also means three and four-bedroom layouts and children sharing rooms, the reality on the streets around Selhurst Park
- Most-booked bed
- mid sleepers and cot-bed conversions, often two or three frames in one visit — and bunk beds — and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does
- Room constraint
- Thornton Heath gives us a child's room where the bunk has to clear a ceiling light and still leave the wardrobe door swinging, measured on the walk in from Thornton Heath (Southern) rather than assumed from a map
- Getting it in
- kerbside or driveway unloading; locally that also means then a straight stair with a turn at the top, the pattern behind 12,862 households inside the CR7 neighbourhood
- The check that closes the visit
- ladder fixings torqued at both ends and every gap checked against BS EN 747, over guard-rail height measured above the mattress, where 54% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year
Homes in Croydon average 2.61 bedrooms and 34% of households here have dependent children, so mid sleepers and cot-bed conversions, often two or three frames in one visit — and bunk beds — and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the order we quote most around CR7.
31% of homes around CR7 are privately rented, so a large share of Thornton Heath bookings are tenancy-start builds where the mattress delivery, not the weekend, sets the date.
The stock here is family houses with two; locally that also means three and four-bedroom layouts and children sharing rooms, the reality on the streets around Selhurst Park, and the constraint we plan around is Thornton Heath gives us a child's room where the bunk has to clear a ceiling light and still leave the wardrobe door swinging, measured on the walk in from Thornton Heath (Southern) rather than assumed from a map.
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
Thornton Heath CR7 bed assembly questions
A Thornton Heath 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.
A standard frame is an hour's work; ottomans double that once the lifting mechanism is set and tested. Bunk and high-sleeper builds are the long ones — two to two and a half hours — since ladder fixings torqued at both ends and every gap checked against BS EN 747, over guard-rail height measured above the mattress, where 54% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Batching two CR7 beds into one visit saves a second call-out fee.
For CR7 bookings, 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). Ladder fixings torqued at both ends and every gap checked against BS EN 747, over guard-rail height measured above the mattress, where 54% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. It works the same way on every Thornton Heath (CR7) booking.
Mattresses stay with you; we build the frame around whatever arrives. Give us the delivery window and we slot the CR7 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 Thornton Heath landing.
