The service, locally
Bed assembly in Peckham
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 Peckham 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 Peckham 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 SE15Access is settled before the day: deck access or one lift shared with the whole block in SE15, so we book a delivery window rather than gamble, measured on the walk in from Peckham Rye (Overground, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map, with the London Borough of Southwark permit arranged and paid for by us.
- Built, checked, packaging goneDust sheets down, the frame built in the room, the frame squared before final tightening in Peckham, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, with 46% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in Peckham
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your Peckham 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 SE15 visit
- In Peckham: every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place, sized for the rye lane bus gates, ltn filters and terraced streets with permit bays
- Safety checks on bunks, sleepers and cots against BS EN 747 and BS EN 716 — the frame squared before final tightening in Peckham, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, with 46% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first
Not included — and why
- Mattress supply and delivery — we build around the mattress you have ordered rather than selling you one, which we refer on to the right trade in Peckham
- 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 SE15
- 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 SE15 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 Southwark or a specialist contractor instead
Why Hello Services
Why book bed assembly in Peckham 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 SE15 jobs, with Southwark parking rules in play.
Same-day around your mattress
Tell us the delivery window and we hold a Peckham slot behind it on Southwark bookings, with 72% of homes here being flats, 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 around Peckham Rye (Overground, Thameslink), with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
Common fixings in the van
Bolts, cams, barrel nuts and slat holders on board around Peckham Rye (Overground, Thameslink), with 28% of Peckham homes being houses, so a short-shipped pack still finishes the same evening.

These are the 8 builds booked most often in Peckham SE15, where the stock is council and housing-association blocks with consistent room sizes and lift-served floors, as the Peckham stock goes, which is what a 72% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Peckham actually produces. 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.

Questions
Peckham 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.
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 Peckham because the frame squared before final tightening in Peckham, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, with 46% 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). The frame squared before final tightening in Peckham, then every fixing checked in sequence and the room swept, with 46% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
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.
Dismantling is priced per bed and booked into the same SE15 visit, so nothing is left blocking a hallway. If the frame is being scrapped it leaves with us for licensed disposal rather than going out beside the bins.
