Double bed assembly

Takes about 3 hr

A double bed has more parts than it looks, and the centre beam and legs are what stop it sagging later. The carpenter checks the kit, builds the headboard and side rails, fixes the centre support and its legs, then lays the slats or base boards. Every joint is tightened twice, once loosely and once fully, so the frame pulls square.

This takes about three hours, from the price shown on this page. If your bed has a storage box or hydraulic lift, book Hydraulic bed assembly instead.

Keep the boxes in the bedroom, clear a space a little larger than the bed, and have a second person available briefly to help lift the headboard.

Questions about this service

My bed creaks after a month. Is that covered?

Yes. If the assembly work stops working within 30 days, we come back and fix it at no charge, usually by retightening the joints.

Does it matter if the bed is queen or king?

Both are covered. The price shown is the starting price; a very large or unusual design is priced before the carpenter begins.

Can you move my old bed out?

Dismantling an old bed is separate work. Mention it while booking or ask the carpenter to quote on arrival.
