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
How a Nunhead 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 SE15 list and confirm one written figure, including the carry if the room is upstairs.
- 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 then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, over the frame squared before final tightening, measured on the walk in from Nunhead (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map.

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
- On SE15 jobs: centre support rails and legs seated properly, slats and slat holders set so the frame does not creak, with 58% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Southwark bookings: every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place, arranged with London Borough of Southwark where the kerb needs it
- 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, measured on the walk in from Nunhead (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map
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 Nunhead bookings
- Wall-fixed headboards into a wall that needs new structure or a stud repair first (we will quote that as handyman work), and we will say so before the SE15 visit rather than on the day
- Manufacturer spare parts: missing bolts, cams or damaged panels are photographed and ordered at cost with the receipt, handled by London Borough of Southwark or a specialist contractor instead
- Removal of an old bed, which is quoted alongside the build and carried out under our waste carrier licence, which we refer on to the right trade in Nunhead
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 on the Nunhead rounds, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
Common fixings in the van
Bolts, cams, barrel nuts and slat holders on board on Southwark bookings, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, so a short-shipped pack still finishes the same evening. On Nunhead jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
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 on Southwark bookings, with Southwark parking rules in play.
The local fault, avoided
Metal frames tightened in the wrong order in Nunhead across SE15, with this being a short walk from Nunhead (Southeastern) — and 39% social-rented stock nearby, which locks the frame out of square and shears a bolt head — and with 30% one-person households in Nunhead, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site — which is exactly what our final check is for.

Homes in Southwark average 2.20 bedrooms and 25% of households here have dependent children, so sturdy metal frames and take-downs of the bed the room already has — and children's beds — and with 20% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 Nunhead gives us council and housing-association blocks with consistent room sizes and lift-served floors, the reality on the streets around Nunhead Cemetery, 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 Nunhead stock goes, which is what a 58% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Nunhead actually produces.
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
Nunhead SE15 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 Southwark rules apply where the kerb or a bay suspension is involved.
A standard frame is an hour's work; ottomans double that once the lifting mechanism is set and tested. Bunk and high-sleeper builds are the long ones — two to two and a half hours — since then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, over the frame squared before final tightening, measured on the walk in from Nunhead (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map. Batching two SE15 beds into one visit saves a second call-out fee.
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. Then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, over the frame squared before final tightening, measured on the walk in from Nunhead (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map.
Mattresses stay with you; we build the frame around whatever arrives. Give us the delivery window and we slot the SE15 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 Nunhead landing.
