The service, locally
Bed assembly across Greenwich
Prices are per bed and identical in every Greenwich postcode. What changes locally is access: the permit, the lift booking and the stair carry, all arranged and paid for by us before the slot.
Bunks, mid sleepers, high sleepers and cots are checked against BS EN 747 and BS EN 716 before the mattress goes on, and every visit ends with the packaging in our van.

How it works
How a Greenwich bed assembly visit works
- Send the bed, get a fixed priceSend the bed model or a photo of the boxes. We price each frame from the published SE2 list and confirm one written figure, including the carry if the room is upstairs.
- Access and slot sorted for SE2We book the Royal Borough of Greenwich permit or bay suspension, and where it applies deck access or one lift shared with the whole block in SE2, so we book a delivery window rather than gamble, with 36% 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 then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept — and the frame squared before final tightening, the reality on the streets around Lesnes Abbey Woods before the packaging leaves in the van.

Scope
What is included in Greenwich
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your Abbey Wood 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 bed assembly
- In Abbey Wood: every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place, the way it is done on Abbey Wood jobs
- Safety checks on bunks, sleepers and cots against BS EN 747 and BS EN 716 — then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept — and the frame squared before final tightening, the reality on the streets around Lesnes Abbey Woods
- Royal Borough of Greenwich permits or bay suspensions where SE2 needs one
- Flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping taken away in the van, checked on every SE2 visit
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 SE2 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 Royal Borough of Greenwich 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 SE2
- Removal of an old bed, which is quoted alongside the build and carried out under our waste carrier licence, outside the fixed price on Abbey Wood bookings
- Electrical work on an adjustable base beyond plugging it in, which belongs to a registered electrician, outside the fixed price on Abbey Wood bookings
Why Hello Services
Why book bed assembly in Greenwich with us
Permits and access handled
Royal Borough of Greenwich permits, bay suspensions, concierge sign-in and goods-lift booking are arranged and paid for by us for Abbey Wood (SE2) addresses, with this being a short walk from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line).
The local fault, avoided
Metal frames tightened in the wrong order in Abbey Wood on the streets near Lesnes Abbey Woods, with Greenwich parking rules in play — and Lesnes Abbey Woods a few streets away, which locks the frame out of square and shears a bolt head — measured on the walk in from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map — which is exactly what our final check is for.
Built silent, not just built
Every Abbey Wood frame is torqued in sequence, the centre rail seated on its legs around Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line), with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, then rocked deliberately before we leave.
Priced per bed, not per hour
Your SE2 bed is quoted per unit in writing the same working day on the streets near Lesnes Abbey Woods, with 36% social-rented stock nearby, with no doorstep re-quote when the box turns out heavy.

Shown: the 8 beds we quote most around Greenwich. 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.

- Parking and permits
- Royal Borough of Greenwich visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so a boxed divan base is carried once. Steep streets towards the abbey, wide estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts.
- Charging zones
- Greenwich sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and neither charge ever appears on a SE2 invoice.
- Stairs, lifts and the carry
- 38% of homes around Abbey Wood 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 Greenwich
Most likely here
council and housing-association blocks with consistent room sizes and lift-served floors, as the Abbey Wood stock goes, and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does
- Most-booked bed
- sturdy metal frames and take-downs of the bed the room already has, over children's beds — a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here
- Room constraint
- Abbey Wood gives us a compact second bedroom where a bunk or a cabin bed buys back the floor a single frame wastes, which is what a 38% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Abbey Wood actually produces
- Getting it in
- deck access or one lift shared with the whole block in SE2, so we book a delivery window rather than gamble, with 36% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first
- The check that closes the visit
- then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept — and the frame squared before final tightening, the reality on the streets around Lesnes Abbey Woods
Homes in Greenwich average 2.42 bedrooms and 32% of households here have dependent children, so sturdy metal frames and take-downs of the bed the room already has, over children's beds — a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the order we quote most around SE2.
24% of homes around SE2 are privately rented, so a large share of Abbey Wood bookings are tenancy-start builds where the mattress delivery, not the weekend, sets the date.
The stock here is council and housing-association blocks with consistent room sizes and lift-served floors, as the Abbey Wood stock goes, and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, and the constraint we plan around is Abbey Wood gives us a compact second bedroom where a bunk or a cabin bed buys back the floor a single frame wastes, which is what a 38% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Abbey Wood actually produces.
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
Greenwich bed assembly questions
Per bed and identical in every Greenwich postcode: from £45 for a single or double frame, £65 for a king, £85 for an ottoman storage bed, £95 for a bunk and £55 for a cot. Hourly is £55 where the frame is second-hand or has no instructions.
All 10 areas, each with its own page covering the local bedroom stock, the bed that area books most and what a boxed base has to get through to reach the room. Cobbled and one-way streets in the World Heritage core, Blackwall Tunnel approach red routes, and tower-block lift booking on the Peninsula.
Yes, on every build. Bunks, mid sleepers and high sleepers are checked against BS EN 747 — guard-rail height above the mattress, ladder fixings and gap sizes — and cots against BS EN 716. Nothing is signed off until the frame is square and every bolt torqued.
Yes. Void turnarounds, furnished-let packs and student handovers are handled with photographs on completion, an itemised invoice per property and one contact for a portfolio. We can attend with keys from the agent.
Where a visitor permit or bay suspension is needed we arrange and pay for it with Royal Borough of Greenwich, and the cost is already inside your quote. Our vans are ULEZ compliant.
Yes — £1m public liability, DBS-checked fitters, and photographs of every completed bed. If a joint we torqued works loose we come back and put it right.
