The service, locally
Bed assembly in Highgate
The price you are quoted is the price you pay: per bed, agreed in writing, with the carry, the London Borough of Haringey 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 Highgate 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 N6 list and confirm one written figure, including the carry if the room is upstairs.
- Access and slot sorted for N6Steep, narrow lanes where a Luton is the practical limit, plus listed-building constraints. 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 frame packed level on an uneven period floor so it does not rock in N6, and the headboard set plumb past the skirting, where 51% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.

Scope
What is included in Highgate
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your Highgate list built in the room it is staying in, squared and levelled to the floor you have
- On N6 jobs: centre support rails and legs seated properly, slats and slat holders set so the frame does not creak, with 65% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Haringey bookings: every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place, arranged with London Borough of Haringey where the kerb needs it
- Safety checks on bunks, sleepers and cots against BS EN 747 and BS EN 716 — the frame packed level on an uneven period floor so it does not rock in N6, and the headboard set plumb past the skirting, where 51% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year
Not included — and why
- Mattress supply and delivery — we build around the mattress you have ordered rather than selling you one, quoted separately if you need it arranged in N6
- Wall-fixed headboards into a wall that needs new structure or a stud repair first (we will quote that as handyman work), outside the fixed price on Highgate bookings
- Manufacturer spare parts: missing bolts, cams or damaged panels are photographed and ordered at cost with the receipt, and we will say so before the N6 visit rather than on the day
- Removal of an old bed, which is quoted alongside the build and carried out under our waste carrier licence, handled by London Borough of Haringey or a specialist contractor instead
Why Hello Services
Why book bed assembly in Highgate with us
Built silent, not just built
Every Highgate frame is torqued in sequence, the centre rail seated on its legs in this 65% flats neighbourhood, with 37% of N6 homes being privately rented, then rocked deliberately before we leave.
Priced per bed, not per hour
Your N6 bed is quoted per unit in writing the same working day in Highgate, with 51% owner-occupation locally, with no doorstep re-quote when the box turns out heavy.
Safety standards, checked
For N6 bookings, bunks and sleepers against BS EN 747, cots against BS EN 716 — guard-rail heights, gaps and ladder fixings measured, not eyeballed in this 65% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Haringey territory. Around Highgate (Northern) we allow for the parking and the walk-in before the slot is confirmed.
Same-day around your mattress
Tell us the delivery window and we hold a Highgate slot behind it on this side of Haringey, with 37% of N6 homes being privately rented, 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.

Questions
Highgate N6 bed assembly questions
A Highgate 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 packed level on an uneven period floor so it does not rock in N6, and the headboard set plumb past the skirting, where 51% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Batching two N6 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). The frame packed level on an uneven period floor so it does not rock in N6, and the headboard set plumb past the skirting, where 51% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Mattresses stay with you; we build the frame around whatever arrives. Give us the delivery window and we slot the N6 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 Highgate landing.
