The service, locally
Bed assembly in Nunhead
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.
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

- Access and slot sorted for SE15Steep hill streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station. 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 squared before final tightening, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept.

Bedrooms and safety
What we are usually building in Nunhead
Most likely here
council and housing-association blocks with consistent room sizes and lift-served floors
- Most-booked bed
- children's beds, sturdy metal frames and take-downs of the bed the room already has
- Room constraint
- a compact second bedroom where a bunk or a cabin bed buys back the floor a single frame wastes
- Getting it in
- deck access or one lift shared with the whole block, so we book a delivery window rather than gamble
- The check that closes the visit
- the frame squared before final tightening, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept
Homes in Southwark average 2.20 bedrooms and 25% of households here have dependent children, so children's beds, sturdy metal frames and take-downs of the bed the room already has is the order we quote most around SE15.
20% of homes around SE15 are privately rented, so a large share of Nunhead bookings are tenancy-start builds where the mattress delivery, not the weekend, sets the date.
The stock here is council and housing-association blocks with consistent room sizes and lift-served floors, 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.
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.

These are the 8 builds booked most often in Nunhead SE15, where the stock is council and housing-association blocks with consistent room sizes and lift-served floors. All 16 bed types we price are listed the same way, and the labour rate is identical in every London borough.
£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.
Why Hello Services
Why book bed assembly in Nunhead 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.
Common fixings in the van
Bolts, cams, barrel nuts and slat holders on board, so a short-shipped pack still finishes the same evening.
Permits and access handled
London Borough of Southwark permits, bay suspensions, concierge sign-in and goods-lift booking are arranged and paid for by us.
The local fault, avoided
Metal frames tightened in the wrong order, which locks the frame out of square and shears a bolt head — which is exactly what our final check is for.
Rates and local costs
Fixed per bed, or hourly, in Nunhead
One bed, fixed price
£45
from, per bed
A single frame built, levelled, torqued and safety-checked, with the cardboard taken away.
Hourly rate
£55
per hour, one-hour minimum
For mixed lists, second-hand frames and beds that arrived without their instructions.
Bed disassembly
£40
per bed
Taken apart, fixings bagged and labelled, parts stacked ready for the move or collection.
Disassembly and reassembly
£95
per bed, moving day
Stripped at one address and rebuilt at the other, so the first night in the new place is a made bed.
- Parking and permits
- London Borough of Southwark visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so a boxed divan base is carried once. Steep hill streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station.
- Charging zones
- Part of Southwark sits inside the Congestion Charge zone and all of it is inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and neither charge ever appears on a SE15 invoice.
- Stairs, lifts and the carry
- 58% of homes around Nunhead are flats, so lift bookings and stair carries are agreed from your photos before the slot rather than discovered on the day.
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.
Scope
What is included in Nunhead
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your Nunhead 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
- Every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place
- Safety checks on bunks, sleepers and cots against BS EN 747 and BS EN 716 — the frame squared before final tightening, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept
- London Borough of Southwark permits or bay suspensions where SE15 needs one
- Flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping taken away in the van
Not included — and why
- Mattress supply and delivery — we build around the mattress you have ordered rather than selling you one
- Wall-fixed headboards into a wall that needs new structure or a stud repair first (we will quote that as handyman work)
- Manufacturer spare parts: missing bolts, cams or damaged panels are photographed and ordered at cost with the receipt
- Removal of an old bed, which is quoted alongside the build and carried out under our waste carrier licence
- Electrical work on an adjustable base beyond plugging it in, which belongs to a registered electrician

Questions
Nunhead SE15 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 SE15 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 the frame squared before final tightening, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept. Two beds in one SE15 visit are quicker than two separate call-outs.
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 squared before final tightening, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept.
We work around your mattress rather than supplying one. If it is being delivered the same day, tell us the window and we hold a Nunhead slot after it so the bed is made up the same evening — that slot carries a small same-day charge, confirmed in writing first.
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 landing.
Almost always a seating problem, not a broken bed. Metal frames tightened in the wrong order, which locks the frame out of square and shears a bolt head. We torque in sequence, seat the centre rail and its legs on the floor, then rock the finished frame deliberately before we leave.
Usually yes. Deck access or one lift shared with the whole block, so we book a delivery window rather than gamble. Steep hill streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station. London Borough of Southwark permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit, and an upper-floor stair carry is flagged from your photos rather than sprung on you on the day.
Most SE15 bookings are fitted within two to three working days, and we hold same-day and evening slots for delivery days and tenancy starts. Send the model or a photo of the boxes and you have a fixed written price the same working day.
