The service, locally
Bed assembly across Tower Hamlets
Prices are per bed and identical in every Tower Hamlets postcode. What changes locally is access: the permit, the lift booking and the stair carry, all arranged and paid for by us before the slot.
Bunks, mid sleepers, high sleepers and cots are checked against BS EN 747 and BS EN 716 before the mattress goes on, and every visit ends with the packaging in our van.

How it works
How a Tower Hamlets 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 E2 list and confirm one written figure, including the carry if the room is upstairs.
- Access and slot sorted for E2We book the London Borough of Tower Hamlets permit or bay suspension, and where it applies so we book a delivery window rather than gamble, over deck access or one lift shared with the whole block, which is why London Borough of Tower Hamlets kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
- 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 43% 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 Tower Hamlets
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your Bethnal Green 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 — including bunk beds
- In Bethnal Green: every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place, the way it is done on Bethnal Green jobs
- On E2 jobs: 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 43% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, with 88% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- London Borough of Tower Hamlets permits or bay suspensions where E2 needs one
- Flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping taken away in the van, noted on the Bethnal Green 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, handled by London Borough of Tower Hamlets or a specialist contractor instead
- Wall-fixed headboards into a wall that needs new structure or a stud repair first (we will quote that as handyman work), which we refer on to the right trade in Bethnal Green
- Manufacturer spare parts: missing bolts, cams or damaged panels are photographed and ordered at cost with the receipt, outside the fixed price on Bethnal Green bookings
- Removal of an old bed, which is quoted alongside the build and carried out under our waste carrier licence, and we will say so before the E2 visit rather than on the day
- Electrical work on an adjustable base beyond plugging it in, which belongs to a registered electrician, which we refer on to the right trade in Bethnal Green
Why Hello Services
Why book bed assembly in Tower Hamlets 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 this side of Tower Hamlets, with this being London Borough of Tower Hamlets territory.
Same-day around your mattress
Tell us the delivery window and we hold a Bethnal Green slot behind it on the streets near Columbia Road Flower Market, with a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood, 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 for Bethnal Green (E2) addresses, with 43% social-rented stock nearby.
Common fixings in the van
Bolts, cams, barrel nuts and slat holders on board on Tower Hamlets bookings, with 88% of homes here being flats, so a short-shipped pack still finishes the same evening. On Bethnal Green jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
Per-bed prices
Bed assembly prices in Tower Hamlets
| Bed | From | To | Build time | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bunk bed (standard two-tier)Checked against the safety standard | £95 | £150 | 2 hrs 10 mins | Guard-rail heights, ladder fixings and gaps checked against BS EN 747, every bolt torqued |
| Single or double bed frame (wood or metal) | £45 | £75 | 55 mins | Centre support rail seated, every bolt torqued, slats and slat holders set so nothing creaks |
| Cabin or mid sleeper with storageChecked against the safety standard | £110 | £175 | 2 hrs 30 mins | Drawers and steps aligned, frame checked square, guard rails fitted before the mattress goes on |
| Old bed disassembly (per bed) | £40 | £65 | 40 mins | Taken apart, fixings bagged, parts stacked flat — removal quoted through our clearance division |
| Cot or cot bedChecked against the safety standard | £55 | £95 | 1 hr | Bar spacing and mattress-base heights checked against BS EN 716 and the maker's instructions |
| Divan base with headboard fitting | £55 | £95 | 1 hr | Halves joined and clipped, castors or glides fitted, headboard struts set to your mattress height |
| Ottoman bed, single gas strut | £85 | £130 | 1 hr 40 mins | Struts fitted last and balanced so the lid holds mid-lift instead of sinking on the mattress |
| Ottoman bed, double gas strut or side-lift | £110 | £170 | 2 hrs 10 mins | Strut rating matched to the mattress weight, base tested loaded before we leave the room |
Tower Hamlets leads with these 8 rows because the local bedrooms produce the same order again and again: children's beds; locally that also means sturdy metal frames and take-downs of the bed the room already has — which is what a 88% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Bethnal Green actually produces. The rest of the 16-item list is priced identically.
£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.

- Stairs, lifts and the carry

Bedrooms and safety
What we are usually building in Tower Hamlets
Most likely here
council and housing-association blocks with consistent room sizes and lift-served floors, as the Bethnal Green stock goes, and with 34% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does
- Most-booked bed
- children's beds; locally that also means sturdy metal frames and take-downs of the bed the room already has — which is what a 88% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Bethnal Green actually produces
- Room constraint
- Bethnal Green gives us a compact second bedroom where a bunk or a cabin bed buys back the floor a single frame wastes, a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here
- Getting it in
- so we book a delivery window rather than gamble, over deck access or one lift shared with the whole block, which is why London Borough of Tower Hamlets kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded

The stock here is council and housing-association blocks with consistent room sizes and lift-served floors, as the Bethnal Green stock goes, and with 34% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, and the constraint we plan around is Bethnal Green gives us a compact second bedroom where a bunk or a cabin bed buys back the floor a single frame wastes, a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
31% of Bethnal Green households are one-person, which is why single frames and headboard fittings outnumber whole-house bunk days here.
Bethnal Green (Central, Overground) is the nearest station and London Borough of Tower Hamlets controls the kerb outside, so the permit is bought before the van leaves rather than argued about on the pavement.
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.
