Can you assemble a storage bed in Hornchurch RM11 or RM12?
Yes. Send your full postcode and the exact bed model, including the size, storage type and any separate headboard. Tell us which floor it is going on and where the cartons will be. If an old frame needs taking apart first, mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you fit a separate headboard to a bed I already own?
Send the model of the current base, the new headboard link and photos of their fittings. We can check whether they are designed to work together and discuss the installation. If it needs a wall fixing, confirm that the intended position is available and that you have permission to drill.
Plan the bits of the room you use around the bed
Measure where the headboard meets the wall
Check the height of plugs, light switches and the sill against the headboard. Allow for the amount it stands away from the wall when it rests against skirting or its fixing. If you want bedside lamps, check where the cords will go. Send a photo with the bedside cabinet in position if you want to discuss which parts of the wall will be covered.
Check a storage drawer with the room door in use
Mark the outer edge of the frame and the full drawer extension. Open the bedroom door and stand where you would use the drawer. If you have to shut the door each time, think about whether another bed position would work better. If you want to swap the drawers to the other side, check whether that is an option for the exact model before buying.
| Visit stage | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Arrival | Full postcode, floor and where the cartons are |
| Assembly | Frame model, headboard fittings and any required restraint |
| Handover | Check storage operation and clearances before using the bed |
Compare the bed sizes that matter in the room
Measure the full outside width and length of the frame, including the headboard, side rails and footboard. A king size mattress can fit two frames with different outside dimensions. Mark the full footprint on the floor and open the bedroom door. Check whether you can walk around the frame and reach any socket, window or radiator control that will still be in use.
For a drawer bed, get the distance the drawer projects from the frame when open. Leave room to stand and lift things out. A bedside unit can be in the way even if there is enough clear space further down the bed. Check whether the drawer arrangement is fixed or can be swapped to the other side. The exact model and the assembly drawing help us see the difference.
For a bed with a lifting base, check whether it opens at the foot or on a side. Look at any shelf, sloping ceiling or wall light above the proposed position. Check the mattress size and weight against the maker’s guidance. Tell us if the mattress has already been delivered and keep it outside the work area until the frame is ready for it.
How we quote for a Hornchurch bed assembly
Send the frame and headboard references, size and storage fittings, plus any bedside units or drawers you want built. Tell us about access and any dismantling. A basic frame, a storage base and a separately fitted headboard involve different work, so include the specific models. We can discuss the quote and which pieces need to be ready before you book.
See assembly prices and Bedroom furniture assembly. If you need the cartons brought to the property, ask about collection and delivery.
Find out how the headboard attaches
Some headboards are part of the frame, while others attach to a bed base with their own fittings. Send both references if you bought the headboard separately. Measure where it will stand and check what it would cover at the wall. A headboard wider than the bed may overlap a bedside cabinet or socket. A tall one can prevent you reaching a window catch.
If you are keeping an existing base, photograph the mounting points and send the model if you have it. Do the same for the new headboard’s fittings. A frame with no compatible mounting points may need a different headboard or position. If the manufacturer requires a wall fitting, tell us what you know about the wall and arrange permission for the proposed location.
Check the delivery note for a separate headboard or hardware pack. Keep the fittings with the frame so they can be checked when work starts. If the headboard is arriving on a different day, tell us the model and expected date. We can discuss whether the base can be built first and whether it would need to be moved or partly taken apart later.

Agree the delivery, working space and final checks
Send the full Hornchurch postcode with the house or flat number, floor and entrance. For RM11 and RM12 enquiries, let us know where the retailer plans to leave the boxes. Compare the longest carton with the staircase and landing. If the headboard is wide or the package needs a tight turn, ask about delivery to the room and tell us what has already been agreed.
If an old bed is still in the room, tell us whether it needs to come apart and where its pieces can wait. Remove bedding and anything stored beneath the frame. Put small belongings and drawers outside the working area. Make sure the route to the bedroom is clear before boxes are moved. If you have parking or access instructions for the address, send them before the appointment.
At handover, open the storage according to the maker’s instructions and check the gap to the bedside furniture. Make sure you can reach the room door and any sockets needed beside the bed. Ask the fitter to show the storage operation or any adjustments described in the manual. Keep the spare fittings and product references together in case you change the layout or need a replacement part.
Before you book in Hornchurch
Does a separate headboard need its own carton?
Check the retailer’s packing list. If the headboard or mounting fittings were ordered separately, give us the reference and let us know when they will arrive.
Can I use my old mattress on a new lifting base?
Check the size and weight against the bed maker’s guidance. Send both models if you want to discuss the fit and storage operation before booking.
Can a drawer bed sit against the wall on one side?
Check which side the drawers open and whether the manufacturer allows another layout. Measure the clear opening on the accessible side with nearby furniture in place.
Should I remove the old bed before you arrive?
Tell us if you need help discussing dismantling. Clear the bedding and underbed storage and say where any removed components can go.
