The service, locally
Bed assembly in Lee
We seat the centre rail and its legs on the floor, torque in sequence, then re-check once the slats are in. Bunks, sleepers and cots get a safety check against the published standard before the mattress goes on.
Same-day and evening slots exist for a reason — a mattress arrives, the old bed is already dismantled, and nobody wants to sleep on the floor. Tell us the delivery window and we book the SE12 slot behind it for £35.

How it works
How a Lee bed assembly visit works
- Send the bed, get a fixed pricePhotograph the delivery stack and the bedroom it is going in. We size the slot for Lee, confirm the access route and put the whole figure in writing the same working day.
- Access and slot sorted for SE12Driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays. 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 guard-rail height measured above the mattress in SE12, ladder fixings torqued at both ends and every gap checked against BS EN 747, where 60% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.

Scope
What is included in Lee
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your Lee 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, checked on every SE12 visit
- In Lee: every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place, sized for the driveways on many streets; lee high road is a red route with short bays
- Safety checks on bunks, sleepers and cots against BS EN 747 and BS EN 716 — guard-rail height measured above the mattress in SE12, ladder fixings torqued at both ends and every gap checked against BS EN 747, where 60% 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, and we will say so before the SE12 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, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE12
- Removal of an old bed, which is quoted alongside the build and carried out under our waste carrier licence, outside the fixed price on Lee bookings
Why Hello Services
Why book bed assembly in Lee 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 this side of Lewisham, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
Same-day around your mattress
Tell us the delivery window and we hold a Lee slot behind it in this 39% flats neighbourhood, with 6,151 households on this patch, 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 on Lewisham bookings, with 6,151 households on this patch. London Borough of Lewisham rules apply where the kerb or a bay suspension is involved.
Common fixings in the van
Bolts, cams, barrel nuts and slat holders on board in this 39% flats neighbourhood, with Lewisham parking rules in play, so a short-shipped pack still finishes the same evening. On Lee jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.

Lee SE12 leads with these 8 rows because the local bedrooms produce the same order again and again: mid sleepers and cot-bed conversions, often two or three frames in one visit — and bunk beds — and with 22% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. The rest of the 16-item list is priced identically.
£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.

- Charging zones
- Lewisham sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and neither charge ever appears on a SE12 invoice.
- Stairs, lifts and the carry

Bedrooms and safety
What we are usually building in Lee
Most likely here
family houses with two in Lee, three and four-bedroom layouts and children sharing rooms, the reality on the streets around The Manor House and its gardens
- Most-booked bed
- mid sleepers and cot-bed conversions, often two or three frames in one visit — and bunk beds — and with 22% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does
- Room constraint
- Lee gives us a child's room where the bunk has to clear a ceiling light and still leave the wardrobe door swinging, which is why London Borough of Lewisham 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, with 18% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first
- The check that closes the visit
- guard-rail height measured above the mattress in SE12, ladder fixings torqued at both ends and every gap checked against BS EN 747, where 60% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year
Homes in Lewisham average 2.37 bedrooms and 31% of households here have dependent children, so mid sleepers and cot-bed conversions, often two or three frames in one visit — and bunk beds — and with 22% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the order we quote most around SE12.
22% of homes around SE12 are privately rented, so a large share of Lee bookings are tenancy-start builds where the mattress delivery, not the weekend, sets the date.
The stock here is family houses with two in Lee, three and four-bedroom layouts and children sharing rooms, the reality on the streets around The Manor House and its gardens, and the constraint we plan around is Lee gives us a child's room where the bunk has to clear a ceiling light and still leave the wardrobe door swinging, which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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
Lee SE12 bed assembly questions
Per bed, fixed before we arrive: a single or double frame from £45, a king or super-king from £65, an ottoman storage bed from £85, a bunk from £95 and a cot from £55. Hourly work, for second-hand frames without instructions, is £55 an hour in SE12 with a one-hour minimum.
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 guard-rail height measured above the mattress in SE12, ladder fixings torqued at both ends and every gap checked against BS EN 747, where 60% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Two beds in one SE12 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. Guard-rail height measured above the mattress in SE12, ladder fixings torqued at both ends and every gap checked against BS EN 747, where 60% 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 SE12 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 Lee landing.
