Bed assembly in Greenwich, SE10
Bed fitting in Greenwich (SE10, Greenwich) is decided by two things — how the boxes reach the bedroom and how square the room is. Locally that means concierge sign-in in SE10, a booked goods lift and a loading-bay window agreed before the slot, the pattern behind 17,397 households inside the SE10 neighbourhood, and a bedroom sized to the mattress; locally that also means where the ottoman lid has to clear the window reveal as it lifts, and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.

The service, locally
Bed assembly in Greenwich
The price you are quoted is the price you pay: per bed, agreed in writing, with the carry, the Royal Borough of Greenwich 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 Greenwich 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 Greenwich, confirm the access route and put the whole figure in writing the same working day.
- Access and slot sorted for SE10Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access. 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 SE10, strut rating matched to the mattress weight and the lift travel checked against the window, which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.

Scope
What is included in Greenwich
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your Greenwich 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 Greenwich job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Greenwich: every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place, timed against the walk in from Cutty Sark (DLR)
- Safety checks on bunks, sleepers and cots against BS EN 747 and BS EN 716 — the ottoman lifted and held loaded in SE10, strut rating matched to the mattress weight and the lift travel checked against the window, which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich 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 Royal Borough of Greenwich 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 Greenwich
- Manufacturer spare parts: missing bolts, cams or damaged panels are photographed and ordered at cost with the receipt, outside the fixed price on Greenwich bookings
- Removal of an old bed, which is quoted alongside the build and carried out under our waste carrier licence, and we will say so before the SE10 visit rather than on the day
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 on the Greenwich rounds, with this being a short walk from Cutty Sark (DLR).
The local fault, avoided
Which leaves a lid that sinks onto the mattress instead of holding open, over gas struts fitted before the base is square — measured on the walk in from Cutty Sark (DLR) rather than assumed from a map — which is exactly what our final check is for in Greenwich — and 32% one-person households here, with 29% social-rented stock nearby.
Built silent, not just built
Every Greenwich frame is torqued in sequence, the centre rail seated on its legs on this side of Greenwich, with 32% one-person households here, then rocked deliberately before we leave.
Priced per bed, not per hour
Your SE10 bed is quoted per unit in writing the same working day on the Greenwich rounds, with 27% of Greenwich homes being houses, with no doorstep re-quote when the box turns out heavy.
Per-bed prices
Bed assembly prices in Greenwich
| 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 |
| Divan base with headboard fitting | £55 | £95 | 1 hr | Halves joined and clipped, castors or glides fitted, headboard struts set to your mattress height |
| 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 |
Greenwich SE10 leads with these 8 rows because the local bedrooms produce the same order again and again: because the flat has no loft and no cupboard to spare, over ottoman and gas-lift storage beds — a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. 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
- Royal Borough of Greenwich visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so a boxed divan base is carried once. Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access.
- Charging zones
- Greenwich sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and neither charge ever appears on a SE10 invoice.
- Stairs, lifts and the carry
- 73% of homes around Greenwich 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.
Bedrooms and safety
What we are usually building in Greenwich
Most likely here
post-2010 apartments with compact bedrooms and storage built into the furniture, as the Greenwich stock goes, where 40% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year
- Most-booked bed
- because the flat has no loft and no cupboard to spare, over ottoman and gas-lift storage beds — a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here
- Room constraint
- a bedroom sized to the mattress; locally that also means where the ottoman lid has to clear the window reveal as it lifts, and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does
- Getting it in
- concierge sign-in in SE10, a booked goods lift and a loading-bay window agreed before the slot, the pattern behind 17,397 households inside the SE10 neighbourhood
- The check that closes the visit
- the ottoman lifted and held loaded in SE10, strut rating matched to the mattress weight and the lift travel checked against the window, which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded
Cutty Sark (DLR) is the nearest station and Royal Borough of Greenwich controls the kerb outside, so the permit is bought before the van leaves rather than argued about on the pavement.
17,397 households sit inside the ONS neighbourhood covering Greenwich, and 73% of them are flats — which is why concierge sign-in in SE10 decides the slot length more often than the bed does.
Homes in Greenwich average 2.42 bedrooms and 32% of households here have dependent children, so because the flat has no loft and no cupboard to spare, over ottoman and gas-lift storage beds — a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the order we quote most around SE10.
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 SE10 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 SE10 with a one-hour minimum.
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 the ottoman lifted and held loaded in SE10, strut rating matched to the mattress weight and the lift travel checked against the window, which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Batching two SE10 beds into one visit saves a second call-out fee.
Yes — every Greenwich bunk, high sleeper and cot is built strictly to the instructions and verified against BS EN 747 or BS EN 716 before we sign it off. The ottoman lifted and held loaded in SE10, strut rating matched to the mattress weight and the lift travel checked against the window, which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich 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 Greenwich visit rather than two.
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 Greenwich landing.
