The service, locally
Bed assembly in Woolwich
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 Woolwich 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 Woolwich 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 SE18Access is settled before the day: deck access or one lift shared with the whole block in SE18, so we book a delivery window rather than gamble, the pattern behind 13,241 households inside the SE18 neighbourhood, with the Royal Borough of Greenwich permit arranged and paid for by us.
- Built, checked, packaging goneDust sheets down, the frame built in the room, the frame squared before final tightening in Woolwich, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, and with 31% one-person households in Woolwich, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in Woolwich
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your Woolwich 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 Woolwich job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Woolwich: every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place, timed against the walk in from Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR)
- Safety checks on bunks, sleepers and cots against BS EN 747 and BS EN 716 — the frame squared before final tightening in Woolwich, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, and with 31% one-person households in Woolwich, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site
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 Woolwich
- Manufacturer spare parts: missing bolts, cams or damaged panels are photographed and ordered at cost with the receipt, outside the fixed price on Woolwich 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 SE18 visit rather than on the day
Why Hello Services
Why book bed assembly in Woolwich with us
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 SE18 jobs, with Greenwich parking rules in play.
Same-day around your mattress
Tell us the delivery window and we hold a Woolwich slot behind it around Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR), with this being a short walk from Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR), so nobody sleeps on the floor.
Old bed out, new bed in
Take-down, bagged fixings and licensed removal in the same visit, instead of a dismantled frame living on the landing in Woolwich, with this being a short walk from Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR).
Common fixings in the van
Bolts, cams, barrel nuts and slat holders on board on Greenwich bookings, with 47% social-rented stock nearby, so a short-shipped pack still finishes the same evening. On Woolwich jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.

These are the 8 builds booked most often in Woolwich SE18, where the stock is council and housing-association blocks with consistent room sizes and lift-served floors, as the Woolwich stock goes, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. All 16 bed types we price are listed the same way, and the labour rate is identical in every London borough.
£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.

What we are usually building in Woolwich
Most likely here

- Most-booked bed
- children's beds; locally that also means sturdy metal frames and take-downs of the bed the room already has — which is what a 63% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Woolwich actually produces
- Room constraint
- Woolwich gives us a compact second bedroom where a bunk or a cabin bed buys back the floor a single frame wastes, where 28% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year
- Getting it in
- deck access or one lift shared with the whole block in SE18, so we book a delivery window rather than gamble, the pattern behind 13,241 households inside the SE18 neighbourhood
- The check that closes the visit

The stock here is council and housing-association blocks with consistent room sizes and lift-served floors, as the Woolwich stock goes, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, and the constraint we plan around is Woolwich gives us a compact second bedroom where a bunk or a cabin bed buys back the floor a single frame wastes, where 28% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
31% of Woolwich households are one-person, which is why single frames and headboard fittings outnumber whole-house bunk days here.
Woolwich (Elizabeth line, 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.
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
Woolwich SE18 bed assembly questions
A Woolwich 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.
Allow an hour for a single or double, around eighty minutes for a king, and roughly two hours for an ottoman once the gas struts are balanced. Bunks and cabin beds run to two and a half hours in Woolwich because the frame squared before final tightening in Woolwich, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, and with 31% one-person households in Woolwich, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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). The frame squared before final tightening in Woolwich, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, and with 31% one-person households in Woolwich, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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 Woolwich visit rather than two.
Dismantling is priced per bed and booked into the same SE18 visit, so nothing is left blocking a hallway. If the frame is being scrapped it leaves with us for licensed disposal rather than going out beside the bins.
