Bed assembly in East Dulwich, SE22
A bed is only as quiet as its centre rail. In East Dulwich (Southwark) the usual fault is which is the single most common bunk-bed fault we are called back to correct, over a guard rail set below the mattress line, which is what a 43% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering East Dulwich actually produces — which is why every joint here is torqued in sequence rather than nipped up once.

The service, locally
Bed assembly in East Dulwich
The price you are quoted is the price you pay: per bed, agreed in writing, with the carry, the London Borough of Southwark permit and taking the packaging away already inside it.
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 SE22 slot behind it for £35.

How it works
How a East Dulwich 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 SE22Narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton. We confirm the carry route for a headboard and a boxed base, then reserve the kerb so the parts move once.
- Built, checked, packaging goneDust sheets down, the frame built in the room, guard-rail height measured above the mattress in East Dulwich, ladder fixings torqued at both ends and every gap checked against BS EN 747 — the reality on the streets around Dulwich Park, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in East Dulwich
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your East Dulwich list built in the room it is staying in, squared and levelled to the floor you have
- In East Dulwich: centre support rails and legs seated properly, slats and slat holders set so the frame does not creak, the way it is done on East Dulwich jobs
- Every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place — including bunk beds
- Safety checks on bunks, sleepers and cots against BS EN 747 and BS EN 716 — guard-rail height measured above the mattress in East Dulwich, ladder fixings torqued at both ends and every gap checked against BS EN 747 — the reality on the streets around Dulwich Park
Not included — and why
- Mattress supply and delivery — we build around the mattress you have ordered rather than selling you one, outside the fixed price on East Dulwich bookings
- Wall-fixed headboards into a wall that needs new structure or a stud repair first (we will quote that as handyman work), quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE22
- 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 East Dulwich
- Removal of an old bed, which is quoted alongside the build and carried out under our waste carrier licence, handled by London Borough of Southwark or a specialist contractor instead

We work with your own mattress rather than supplying one. If it is being delivered the same day, tell us the window and we hold a East Dulwich slot after it so the bed is made up the same evening — that slot carries a small same-day charge, confirmed in writing first.
In East Dulwich, 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. That covers packaging removed on East Dulwich jobs too.
