Bed and flat pack furniture assembly in Pimlico

Send the exact bed model and the room layout. Tell us how you will approach the storage when the bed is beside a wall or chest. Check whether the bed can be set up to open from the side you want. Include any headboard and the mattress details the manufacturer needs for the lifting system.

Some beds arrive in several boxes, with separate hardware, base panels and a headboard. Compare the labels against your order before booking. Keep screws and brackets with the right box. If a lifting component arrived damaged, tell us the part reference and arrange the replacement through the retailer before using the bed.

Follow the manufacturer’s mattress size and weight guidance for the lift. Tell us which mattress you intend to use and keep it off the assembly area. If the bed opens towards a low shelf or window recess, check headroom with the base raised. Allow space to stand and reach the storage.

Remove bedding and clear drawers or storage beneath the old bed. If it needs taking apart, give its model if known and say where the frame is going. Clear the floor where the new panels will be sorted. Keep the mattress out of the way until the frame and lifting mechanism have been checked.

Show us which existing furniture will stay near the bed. If another drawer unit is part of the visit, check that it opens with the bed in place. Agree the build order if there is limited floor space. Tell us where old parts should go after any agreed dismantling.

Keep the instruction booklet and any manufacturer spare parts in one place. Before loading the base, try the opening arrangement according to the manual. If the lift or mattress position needs checking, raise it at handover. Keep the bed empty while the fitter can see how the mechanism is working.

If the bed will sit on a rug, set out the rug before the frame is put in its final position. Check where its edges fall under the feet and whether it affects access to the storage. Make sure the floor is ready before the bed cartons are opened.

Westminster parking zones and charges

Measure the turn at the entrance and the space on each landing where a long carton would have to change direction. Include handrails or projections at the height of the box. If the retailer’s delivery stopped at the front entrance, tell us what still needs moving. Keep the stairs and fire routes clear.

If the building has a small lift, measure its opening and depth and check the turn at the destination floor. A boxed rail that reaches the lift may still be too long for the final doorway. Ask the building contact which entrance and times are approved and how to book access if required.

Give us the unloading location and the route to your room. A parking arrangement for a delivery does not necessarily cover the fitter’s stay. If there is a shared hall, find out whether you may temporarily place cartons anywhere without blocking other residents. Move loose items and keep the entrance clear.
