The service, locally
Bed assembly in Temple and Aldwych
The price you are quoted is the price you pay: per bed, agreed in writing, with the carry, the Westminster City Council 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.

Temple (Circle, District) is the nearest station and Westminster City Council controls the kerb outside, so the permit is bought before the van leaves rather than argued about on the pavement.
3,927 households sit inside the ONS neighbourhood covering Temple and Aldwych, and 95% of them are flats — which is why concierge sign-in decides the slot length more often than the bed does.
Homes in Westminster average 2.03 bedrooms and 19% of households here have dependent children, so ottoman and gas-lift storage beds, because the flat has no loft and no cupboard to spare is the order we quote most around WC2.
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.

Temple and Aldwych WC2 leads with these 8 rows because the local bedrooms produce the same order again and again: ottoman and gas-lift storage beds, because the flat has no loft and no cupboard to spare. 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.
Why Hello Services
Why book bed assembly in Temple and Aldwych with us
Built silent, not just built
Every Temple and Aldwych frame is torqued in sequence, the centre rail seated on its legs, then rocked deliberately before we leave.
Priced per bed, not per hour
Your WC2 bed is quoted per unit in writing the same working day, with no doorstep re-quote when the box turns out heavy.
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.
Same-day around your mattress
Tell us the delivery window and we hold a Temple and Aldwych slot behind it, so nobody sleeps on the floor.

- Parking and permits
- Westminster City Council visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so a boxed divan base is carried once. Embankment red route, Inns gate control and no loading on the Strand at peak times.
- Charging zones
- Part of Westminster 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 WC2 invoice.
- Stairs, lifts and the carry
- 95% of homes around Temple and Aldwych 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 Temple and Aldwych
Included in every visit
- Every frame on your Temple and Aldwych 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

- 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
Temple and Aldwych WC2 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 WC2 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 ottoman lifted and held loaded, strut rating matched to the mattress weight and the lift travel checked against the window. Two beds in one WC2 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 ottoman lifted and held loaded, strut rating matched to the mattress weight and the lift travel checked against the window.
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 Temple and Aldwych 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. Gas struts fitted before the base is square, which leaves a lid that sinks onto the mattress instead of holding open. 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. Concierge sign-in, a booked goods lift and a loading-bay window agreed before the slot. Embankment red route, Inns gate control and no loading on the Strand at peak times. Westminster City Council 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 WC2 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.
