The service, locally
Bed assembly across Wandsworth
Prices are per bed and identical in every Wandsworth 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 Wandsworth bed assembly visit works
- Send the bed, get a fixed pricePhotograph the delivery stack and the bedroom it is going in. We size the slot for Battersea, confirm the access route and put the whole figure in writing the same working day.
- Access and slot sorted for SW11Access is settled before the day: a booked goods lift and a loading-bay window agreed before the slot — and concierge sign-in, with 28% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, with the London Borough of Wandsworth permit arranged and paid for by us.
- Built, checked, packaging goneDust sheets down, the frame built in the room, strut rating matched to the mattress weight and the lift travel checked against the window, over the ottoman lifted and held loaded, the pattern behind 6,832 households inside the SW11 neighbourhood, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in Wandsworth
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your Battersea list built in the room it is staying in, squared and levelled to the floor you have
- On SW11 jobs: centre support rails and legs seated properly, slats and slat holders set so the frame does not creak, bed assembly included
- Standard on Wandsworth bookings: every bolt torqued in sequence, then re-checked once the slats and mattress are in place, with 6,832 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Safety checks on bunks, sleepers and cots against BS EN 747 and BS EN 716 — strut rating matched to the mattress weight and the lift travel checked against the window, over the ottoman lifted and held loaded, the pattern behind 6,832 households inside the SW11 neighbourhood
- London Borough of Wandsworth permits or bay suspensions where SW11 needs one
- On SW11 jobs: flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping taken away in the van, agreed on the doorstep in Battersea before anything is unpacked
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 Wandsworth 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 Battersea
- Manufacturer spare parts: missing bolts, cams or damaged panels are photographed and ordered at cost with the receipt, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW11
- Removal of an old bed, which is quoted alongside the build and carried out under our waste carrier licence, outside the fixed price on Battersea bookings
- 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 Battersea
Why Hello Services
Why book bed assembly in Wandsworth 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 in this 87% flats neighbourhood, with 87% of homes here being flats.
Common fixings in the van
Bolts, cams, barrel nuts and slat holders on board on the Battersea rounds, with 87% of homes here being flats, so a short-shipped pack still finishes the same evening.
Permits and access handled
For SW11 bookings, london Borough of Wandsworth permits, bay suspensions, concierge sign-in and goods-lift booking are arranged and paid for by us on this side of Wandsworth, with 6,832 households on this patch. It works the same way on every Battersea (SW11) booking.
The local fault, avoided
Gas struts fitted before the base is square in SW11 on this side of Wandsworth, with Battersea Power Station a few streets away — and 87% of homes here being flats, which leaves a lid that sinks onto the mattress instead of holding open — and with 34% one-person households in Battersea, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site — which is exactly what our final check is for.
Per-bed prices
Bed assembly prices in Wandsworth
| Bed | From | To | Build time | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| Sofa bed frame and mechanism | £85 | £145 | 1 hr 45 mins | Mechanism cycled through its full travel, feet levelled, arms and back squared to the base |
| Divan base with headboard fitting | £55 | £95 | 1 hr | Halves joined and clipped, castors or glides fitted, headboard struts set to your mattress height |
| Day bed or trundle | £65 | £110 | 1 hr 15 mins | Trundle rollers set to clear the skirting, back and side rails squared so the frame sits flat |
| High sleeper with desk or futonChecked against the safety standard | £130 | £210 | 3 hrs | Built in the room, tied back to the wall where the design calls for it, ladder locked at both ends |
| 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 |
Wandsworth leads with these 8 rows because the local bedrooms produce the same order again and again: because the flat has no loft and no cupboard to spare, over ottoman and gas-lift storage beds — which is what a 87% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Battersea 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.

- Charging zones
- Wandsworth sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and neither charge ever appears on a SW11 invoice.
- Stairs, lifts and the carry
- 87% of homes around Battersea are flats, so lift bookings and stair carries are agreed from your photos before the slot rather than discovered on the day.

Bedrooms and safety
What we are usually building in Wandsworth
Most likely here
Battersea gives us post-2010 apartments with compact bedrooms and storage built into the furniture, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does
- Most-booked bed
- because the flat has no loft and no cupboard to spare, over ottoman and gas-lift storage beds — which is what a 87% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Battersea actually produces
- Room constraint
- a bedroom sized to the mattress in Battersea, where the ottoman lid has to clear the window reveal as it lifts, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here
- Getting it in
- a booked goods lift and a loading-bay window agreed before the slot — and concierge sign-in, with 28% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first
- The check that closes the visit
- strut rating matched to the mattress weight and the lift travel checked against the window, over the ottoman lifted and held loaded, the pattern behind 6,832 households inside the SW11 neighbourhood
Battersea Power Station (Northern) is the nearest station and London Borough of Wandsworth controls the kerb outside, so the permit is bought before the van leaves rather than argued about on the pavement.
6,832 households sit inside the ONS neighbourhood covering Battersea, and 87% of them are flats — which is why a booked goods lift and a loading-bay window agreed before the slot — and concierge sign-in decides the slot length more often than the bed does.
Homes in Wandsworth average 2.46 bedrooms and 25% of households here have dependent children, so because the flat has no loft and no cupboard to spare, over ottoman and gas-lift storage beds — which is what a 87% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Battersea actually produces is the order we quote most around SW11.
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
Wandsworth bed assembly questions
Per bed and identical in every Wandsworth postcode: from £45 for a single or double frame, £65 for a king, £85 for an ottoman storage bed, £95 for a bunk and £55 for a cot. Hourly is £55 where the frame is second-hand or has no instructions.
All 8 areas, each with its own page covering the local bedroom stock, the bed that area books most and what a boxed base has to get through to reach the room. Very tight CPZs, riverside developments with booked loading bays, and narrow 'between the commons' streets.
Yes, on every build. Bunks, mid sleepers and high sleepers are checked against BS EN 747 — guard-rail height above the mattress, ladder fixings and gap sizes — and cots against BS EN 716. Nothing is signed off until the frame is square and every bolt torqued.
Yes. Void turnarounds, furnished-let packs and student handovers are handled with photographs on completion, an itemised invoice per property and one contact for a portfolio. We can attend with keys from the agent.
Where a visitor permit or bay suspension is needed we arrange and pay for it with London Borough of Wandsworth, and the cost is already inside your quote. Our vans are ULEZ compliant.
Yes — £1m public liability, DBS-checked fitters, and photographs of every completed bed. If a joint we torqued works loose we come back and put it right.
