The service, locally
Bed assembly in Thamesmead
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 Thamesmead 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 Thamesmead 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 SE28We 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 SE28, so we book a delivery window rather than gamble, the reality on the streets around Southmere Lake.
- Built, checked, packaging goneEvery joint torqued in sequence, slats seated, and the visit closed with the frame squared before final tightening in SE28, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, with 39% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first before the packaging leaves in the van.

Scope
What is included in Thamesmead
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your Thamesmead list built in the room it is staying in, squared and levelled to the floor you have
- On SE28 jobs: centre support rails and legs seated properly, slats and slat holders set so the frame does not creak, bed assembly included
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place, with 7,133 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Safety checks on bunks, sleepers and cots against BS EN 747 and BS EN 716 — the frame squared before final tightening in SE28, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, with 39% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first
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 SE28 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 Thamesmead
- 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 SE28
Why Hello Services
Why book bed assembly in Thamesmead with us
Built silent, not just built
Every Thamesmead frame is torqued in sequence, the centre rail seated on its legs on Greenwich bookings, with 39% social-rented stock nearby, then rocked deliberately before we leave.
Priced per bed, not per hour
Your SE28 bed is quoted per unit in writing the same working day on this side of Greenwich, with 29% one-person households here, with no doorstep re-quote when the box turns out heavy.
Safety standards, checked
Bunks and sleepers against BS EN 747, cots against BS EN 716 — guard-rail heights, gaps and ladder fixings measured, not eyeballed on SE28 jobs, with 29% one-person households here.
Same-day around your mattress
Tell us the delivery window and we hold a Thamesmead slot behind it around Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) and Plumstead (Southeastern), with 7,133 households on this patch, so nobody sleeps on the floor.

£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. Deck-access blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and estate service roads.
- Charging zones
- Greenwich sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and neither charge ever appears on a SE28 invoice.
- Stairs, lifts and the carry
- 47% of homes around Thamesmead 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 Thamesmead
Most likely here
Thamesmead gives us council and housing-association blocks with consistent room sizes and lift-served floors, where 32% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year
- Most-booked bed
- sturdy metal frames and take-downs of the bed the room already has, over children's beds — and with 28% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does
- Room constraint
- a compact second bedroom where a bunk or a cabin bed buys back the floor a single frame wastes, as the Thamesmead stock goes, measured on the walk in from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) and Plumstead (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map
- Getting it in
- deck access or one lift shared with the whole block in SE28, so we book a delivery window rather than gamble, the reality on the streets around Southmere Lake
- The check that closes the visit
- the frame squared before final tightening in SE28, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, with 39% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first
The stock here is Thamesmead gives us council and housing-association blocks with consistent room sizes and lift-served floors, where 32% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, and the constraint we plan around is a compact second bedroom where a bunk or a cabin bed buys back the floor a single frame wastes, as the Thamesmead stock goes, measured on the walk in from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) and Plumstead (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map.
29% of Thamesmead households are one-person, which is why single frames and headboard fittings outnumber whole-house bunk days here.
Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line) and Plumstead (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.
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
Thamesmead SE28 bed assembly questions
A Thamesmead 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 the frame squared before final tightening in SE28, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, with 39% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Batching two SE28 beds into one visit saves a second call-out fee.
Yes — every Thamesmead 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 frame squared before final tightening in SE28, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, with 39% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Mattresses stay with you; we build the frame around whatever arrives. Give us the delivery window and we slot the SE28 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 Thamesmead landing.
