The service, locally
Bed assembly in Kidbrooke
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 Kidbrooke 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 Kidbrooke 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 SE3We book the Royal Borough of Greenwich permit or bay suspension, and where it applies kerbside or driveway unloading; locally that also means then a straight stair with a turn at the top, the pattern behind 7,629 households inside the SE3 neighbourhood.
- Built, checked, packaging goneEvery joint torqued in sequence, slats seated, and the visit closed with ladder fixings torqued at both ends and every gap checked against BS EN 747, over guard-rail height measured above the mattress, where 53% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year before the packaging leaves in the van.

Scope
What is included in Kidbrooke
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your Kidbrooke list built in the room it is staying in, squared and levelled to the floor you have
- On SE3 jobs: centre support rails and legs seated properly, slats and slat holders set so the frame does not creak, agreed on the doorstep in Kidbrooke before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place, allowing for the 22% of SE3 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- 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 53% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, noted on the Kidbrooke job sheet so the next visit starts from it
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 SE3 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, which we refer on to the right trade in Kidbrooke
- Removal of an old bed, which is quoted alongside the build and carried out under our waste carrier licence, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE3

- 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. Managed estate with loading bays and lift booking; wide new roads elsewhere.
- Charging zones
- Greenwich sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and neither charge ever appears on a SE3 invoice.
- Stairs, lifts and the carry
- 44% of homes around Kidbrooke 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 Kidbrooke
Most likely here
family houses with two; locally that also means three and four-bedroom layouts and children sharing rooms, and with 22% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does
- Most-booked bed
- bunk beds; locally that also means mid sleepers and cot-bed conversions, often two or three frames in one visit — the reality on the streets around Sutcliffe Park
- Room constraint
- a child's room where the bunk has to clear a ceiling light and still leave the wardrobe door swinging, as the Kidbrooke stock goes, which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded
- Getting it in
- kerbside or driveway unloading; locally that also means then a straight stair with a turn at the top, the pattern behind 7,629 households inside the SE3 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 53% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year
Kidbrooke (Southeastern) 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.
7,629 households sit inside the ONS neighbourhood covering Kidbrooke, and 44% of them are flats — which is why kerbside or driveway unloading; locally that also means then a straight stair with a turn at the top 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 bunk beds; locally that also means mid sleepers and cot-bed conversions, often two or three frames in one visit — the reality on the streets around Sutcliffe Park is the order we quote most around SE3.
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
Kidbrooke SE3 bed assembly questions
Pricing is per bed and agreed in writing first. Singles and doubles start at £45, kings at £65, ottoman storage beds at £85, bunks at £95 and cots at £55. Where a frame is second-hand or the instructions are long gone we work at £55 an hour instead. Near Sutcliffe Park that usually means an earlier start so the van can be unloaded once.
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 53% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Batching two SE3 beds into one visit saves a second call-out fee.
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 53% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Near Sutcliffe Park that usually means an earlier start so the van can be unloaded once.
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 Kidbrooke 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 Kidbrooke landing.
