Assembling a bed

Bed Assembly Service

A new bed should feel like an upgrade, not a weekend project. If you are dealing with a flat pack box, missing tools, confusing instructions, or a heavy headboard that needs a second pair of hands, our bed assembly service makes the process simple. We assemble beds carefully, check stability, and leave your space tidy so you can start using your bedroom right away.

From compact guest room frames to large storage beds, we work with common brands and a wide range of designs. Whether you have a brand new delivery or a bed that needs rebuilding after a move, you will get a reliable setup that is level, safe, and comfortable.

What We Assemble

Bed designs vary, and each type needs a slightly different approach to ensure it stays solid over time. We follow the manufacturer instructions, protect your flooring and walls, and tighten fixings to the correct tension to reduce squeaks and movement.

• Standard bed frames including wood, metal, and upholstered models
• Platform beds with slats or solid bases
• Ottoman and storage beds with lifting mechanisms and gas struts
• Divan bases including headboard fitting and alignment
• Bunk beds with ladder and guard rail installation
• Day beds and trundles for guest rooms and multipurpose spaces

If your project includes other items in the room, we can often combine tasks in one visit through our furniture assembly services, such as bedside tables, shelving, or a new wardrobe, depending on time and access.

Our Bed Assembly Process

1. Preparation and placement

We confirm the best location for the bed, taking into account doors, radiators, sockets, and clearance for drawers or lift up storage. We also check the room for tight stairwells or narrow hallways if the bed components need to be carried through the home.

2. Step by step assembly

We sort parts, verify fittings, and assemble the frame in the correct sequence so everything aligns cleanly. Slats are spaced properly, side rails are secured, and headboards are mounted straight. Where the design includes moving parts, we test the mechanism and ensure it operates smoothly without rubbing or strain.

3. Safety and stability checks

Before we finish, we level the bed, retighten key joints, and check for wobble, gaps, or uneven load points. For bunk beds, we confirm guard rails, ladder stability, and correct fastener placement. If we spot a damaged component or a missing fitting, we will explain the options and help you decide the safest next step.

Bed Reassembly After Moving or Room Changes

Taking a bed apart for transport often leads to stripped screws, lost hardware, or weakened joints. We can handle furniture disassembly and reassembly when you are relocating, renovating, or simply rearranging rooms. We rebuild the frame, restore proper alignment, and replace worn fixings when suitable so the bed feels stable again.

If the bed has developed noises or movement over time, reassembly is a good moment to address it. Many issues come from uneven floors, loose joints, or slats that have shifted, all of which can usually be corrected during the setup.

Common Problems We Help Prevent

Incorrect bed assembly can cause early wear, damage to the frame, and uncomfortable sleep. Our goal is a clean build that holds up with regular use.

• Stripped bolts and over tightened fittings that weaken the structure
• Misaligned side rails that make the mattress sit unevenly
• Squeaking caused by loose joints or incorrect slat placement
• Headboards that lean or shift because of poor mounting
• Storage mechanisms that rub or fail to lift smoothly

If repairs are needed, we can often assist through the same category as bed assembly, including tightening, hinge adjustments, or replacing basic fixings when available.

What To Prepare Before We Arrive

A few simple checks can make the appointment smoother and faster.

1. Make sure the boxes are in the room where the bed will be assembled, if possible
2. Clear floor space around the assembly area and remove fragile items
3. Have the instruction booklet and any labeled bags of hardware ready
4. Let us know about parking, stairs, lift access, or narrow corridors
5. If the bed is being replaced, confirm whether the old frame will be moved out beforehand

Once the build is complete, we tidy up packaging and leave the bed positioned as requested. You will be able to place your mattress and use the bed with confidence.
