The service, locally
Bed assembly in Catford
The price you are quoted is the price you pay: per bed, agreed in writing, with the carry, the London Borough of Lewisham 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 Catford 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 SE6 list and confirm one written figure, including the carry if the room is upstairs.
- Access and slot sorted for SE6South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind. 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 SE6, strut rating matched to the mattress weight and the lift travel checked against the window, with 25% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.

Scope
What is included in Catford
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your Catford list built in the room it is staying in, squared and levelled to the floor you have
- On SE6 jobs: centre support rails and legs seated properly, slats and slat holders set so the frame does not creak, slat holders included
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place, with 6,981 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 ottoman lifted and held loaded in SE6, strut rating matched to the mattress weight and the lift travel checked against the window, with 25% 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 SE6 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 London Borough of Lewisham 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 Catford
- 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 SE6
Why Hello Services
Why book bed assembly in Catford with us
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 Catford, with 33% of SE6 homes being privately rented.
Common fixings in the van
Bolts, cams, barrel nuts and slat holders on board on Lewisham bookings, with 33% of SE6 homes being privately rented, so a short-shipped pack still finishes the same evening.
Permits and access handled
London Borough of Lewisham permits, bay suspensions, concierge sign-in and goods-lift booking are arranged and paid for by us on Lewisham bookings, with 33% one-person households here.
The local fault, avoided
Gas struts fitted before the base is square; locally that also means which leaves a lid that sinks onto the mattress instead of holding open — the pattern behind 6,981 households inside the SE6 neighbourhood — which is exactly what our final check is for on SE6 jobs — and 62% of homes here being flats, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.

| 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 |
| Adjustable bed base | £120 | £220 | 2 hrs 30 mins | Quoted on survey: motors, cabling and remote pairing tested with the mattress in place |
| Old bed disassembly (per bed) | £40 | £65 | 40 mins | Taken apart, fixings bagged, parts stacked flat — removal quoted through our clearance division |

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.

The stock here is Catford gives us post-2010 apartments with compact bedrooms and storage built into the furniture, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, and the constraint we plan around is a bedroom sized to the mattress in SE6, where the ottoman lid has to clear the window reveal as it lifts, measured on the walk in from Catford (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map.
33% of Catford households are one-person, which is why single frames and headboard fittings outnumber whole-house bunk days here.
Catford (Southeastern) is the nearest station and London Borough of Lewisham 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
Catford SE6 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. London Borough of Lewisham rules apply where the kerb or a bay suspension is involved.
Most single and double frames take about an hour. A king frame is closer to eighty minutes, an ottoman two hours, and a bunk or cabin bed two to two and a half hours because the ottoman lifted and held loaded in SE6, strut rating matched to the mattress weight and the lift travel checked against the window, with 25% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Two beds in one SE6 visit are quicker than two separate call-outs.
Children's beds are the ones we slow down for. Guard rails, ladder fixings and slat supports are set to the maker's spec and checked against BS EN 747, with cots checked against BS EN 716. The ottoman lifted and held loaded in SE6, strut rating matched to the mattress weight and the lift travel checked against the window, with 25% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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 Catford 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 Catford landing.
