The service, locally
Bed assembly in Sydenham
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 Sydenham 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 Sydenham 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 SE26We book the London Borough of Lewisham permit or bay suspension, and where it applies deck access or one lift shared with the whole block in SE26, so we book a delivery window rather than gamble, measured on the walk in from Sydenham (Overground) rather than assumed from a map.
- Built, checked, packaging goneEvery joint torqued in sequence, slats seated, and the visit closed with then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, over the frame squared before final tightening, with 33% 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 Sydenham
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your Sydenham list built in the room it is staying in, squared and levelled to the floor you have
- On SE26 jobs: centre support rails and legs seated properly, slats and slat holders set so the frame does not creak, agreed on the doorstep in Sydenham before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place, allowing for the 22% of SE26 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Safety checks on bunks, sleepers and cots against BS EN 747 and BS EN 716 — then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, over the frame squared before final tightening, with 33% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, noted on the Sydenham job sheet so the next visit starts from it
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 SE26
- 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 Sydenham 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 SE26 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 Lewisham or a specialist contractor instead
Why Hello Services
Why book bed assembly in Sydenham 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 on the streets near Sydenham Wells Park, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
Common fixings in the van
Bolts, cams, barrel nuts and slat holders on board in this 64% flats neighbourhood, with 33% social-rented stock nearby, so a short-shipped pack still finishes the same evening. On Sydenham jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
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 in this 64% flats neighbourhood, with 22% of SE26 homes being privately rented.
The local fault, avoided
Metal frames tightened in the wrong order in SE26 for Sydenham (SE26) addresses, with 22% of SE26 homes being privately rented, which locks the frame out of square and shears a bolt head — the pattern behind 9,790 households inside the SE26 neighbourhood — which is exactly what our final check is for.

22% of homes around SE26 are privately rented, so a large share of Sydenham bookings are tenancy-start builds where the mattress delivery, not the weekend, sets the date.
The stock here is Sydenham gives us council and housing-association blocks with consistent room sizes and lift-served floors, and with 22% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, 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 Sydenham stock goes, the reality on the streets around Sydenham Wells Park.
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
Sydenham SE26 bed assembly questions
A Sydenham 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 Sydenham because then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, over the frame squared before final tightening, with 33% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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). Then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, over the frame squared before final tightening, with 33% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. London Borough of Lewisham rules apply where the kerb or a bay suspension is involved.
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 Sydenham visit rather than two.
We can strip the old frame out before the new one goes up. It is quoted as its own line, the bolts come away bagged and labelled if the bed is moving on, and disposal runs under our registered waste carrier licence with a transfer note on request. London Borough of Lewisham rules apply where the kerb or a bay suspension is involved.
