IKEA Bed Assembly in London
For IKEA bed assembly in London, a vetted local pro builds your bed at a time you pick, for a fixed price you see before you book, with wall fixing included for the bunk and loft beds that need it. Plain frames, storage beds, day-beds, bunks and loft beds are built solid, slats in and every bolt tight, with photos and updates in the app.
An IKEA bed is a long box of slats, a bag of bolts and a first night on the floor if the build goes wrong. Share the order in the app, see a fixed price before you book, and a vetted pro builds it solid at a time you pick.

How pricing works
You get a fixed price for your bed in the Jack All Trades (JACK) app before you book, worked out from what you actually ordered.
A vetted pro prices the real build from your order and the photo of the room. A SLATTUM upholstered frame is a short job. A MALM high bed with four storage boxes, or a bunk bed with guard rails, a ladder and a wall fixing, is a longer one. The price reflects that, and you see it before you book.
Storage and height usually move the price most: each drawer or box adds to the build, and a bunk or loft bed has more parts and more safety checks than a frame on the floor. Adding the bedside tables, the chest of drawers or the wardrobe to the same visit often makes more sense than booking them one at a time.
Prefer to pay for time rather than the job? You can hire a pro by the hour instead; as a guide, hourly hire for furniture assembly is typically £35–£75 per hour. Fitting out a whole flat, or two kids' rooms at once? A full-day handyman booking, a flat £350–£400 for up to 8 hours on site, often suits.
How it works
Step 1
Send the order and a photo
Screenshot your IKEA order or paste the product links, and add a photo of the room. Mention anything awkward, like a narrow staircase or a bed that only just fits the room.
Step 2
Get a fixed price and pick a slot
See the fixed price before you book, then pick a time that suits: after your IKEA delivery, or an evening or weekend when pros have them.
Step 3
Built, checked, ready for the mattress
The pro checks the parts, builds the frame, fits the slats and storage, fixes high beds to the wall where needed, and flattens the packaging. Photos and updates arrive in the app, and you can chat with your pro there.
What's included in your bed build
One fixed price for the bed, from the first box opened to the last slat in place.
- Unboxing and a parts check at the start, with anything missing flagged in the app
- The frame built square and solid, every bolt and cam lock tightened so it does not wobble
- Slatted base fitted, and where the frame has a centre beam, its legs set down to the floor so the slats do not sag
- Storage built in: under-bed boxes, drawers and runners set so they open and close smoothly
- Guard rails and ladders fitted on bunk and loft beds, and the bed fixed to the wall where the instructions call for it
- Packaging flattened and stacked for recycling, and the room left tidy
Bed delivered today?
Nobody wants to spend the first night on a mattress on the floor. When a vetted pro near you is free, your IKEA bed can be built the day it arrives; check in the app who can come today. If nobody can, take the next slot that suits you, with the price fixed before you book either way.
Same-day IKEA and flat-pack assemblyWhich IKEA beds pros build
If it arrived flat in an IKEA box and someone is going to sleep on it, a pro can build it. The common ones:
- Bed frames: MALM and HEMNES in wood, SLATTUM upholstered, and metal frames, from single to super king
- Storage beds: MALM with under-bed storage boxes, BRIMNES and NORDLI with drawers, IDANÄS with storage
- Day-beds: HEMNES and BRIMNES day-beds with drawers underneath, which pull out to sleep two
- Children's beds: KURA reversible beds, built low or high, and extendable beds that grow with the child
- Bunk beds: MYDAL in solid pine, SVÄRTA and TUFFING in metal
- Loft beds: high frames with room underneath for a desk, a reading corner or storage
- Slatted bases such as LURÖY and LÖNSET, headboards, bedside tables, and the rest of the bedroom order
Bed from another shop, or the wardrobe came from somewhere else? Put it all on the same booking and the price covers the whole list.
IKEA furniture assembly for the whole orderIKEA storage bed assembly: why it takes longer
A storage bed is a frame plus a set of drawers or boxes, and each of those is a small build of its own. That is why it takes longer than a plain frame, and why the fixed price accounts for it before you book.
- MALM storage boxes built one by one and slid into place under the bed
- BRIMNES and NORDLI drawers built, fitted and adjusted so they run straight and close flush
- Ottoman (lift-up) storage beds from other shops built on the same booking; name the model in the app so the pro knows what is coming
- Plan the room first: drawers need space beside the bed to open, and in a narrow box room that can decide which side goes against the wall
IKEA bunk bed and loft bed assembly: the details that matter
A high bed is the one bedroom build where a shortcut turns into a safety problem. This is where a pro takes the extra care:
- Every bolt fully tightened, then checked again once the bed is standing, to keep the frame steady when someone climbs the ladder
- Guard rails and ladder fitted exactly as the instructions show, with nothing left loose or left out
- The bed fixed to the wall where the instructions call for it, with fixings that suit the wall: brick, block or plasterboard
- KURA builds either way up, so decide on low or high before the build: changing your mind later means taking it apart
- Measure the ceiling before you order, especially under a sloped loft-conversion ceiling: whoever sleeps on top needs room to sit up
- Check the instructions for the maximum mattress thickness on the top bed, because a mattress that is too deep lowers the effective height of the guard rail
Wooden frames settle a little in the first few weeks. Going round the bolts once with the Allen key helps keep a bunk solid and quiet.
Moving house with an IKEA bed
A built IKEA bed rarely makes it down a London staircase in one piece. A pro takes yours apart at the old place, keeps the fittings bagged and labelled, and rebuilds it at the new one. If moving week also brings a pile of new flat-pack and a list of odd jobs, a full-day handyman booking often suits.
Full-day handyman: £350–£400 for up to 8 hoursFrequently asked questions
What should I send to get a price?
A screenshot of the IKEA order or the product links, plus a photo of the room. For bunk and loft beds, mention the ceiling height.
Where do you cover?
Across London, with evening and weekend slots when pros have them.
How much does IKEA bed assembly cost in London?
It depends on the bed: a plain frame, a storage bed and a bunk bed are different jobs, and each is priced that way. Share the order in the app and a vetted pro prices that build, with wall fixing included where the bed needs it, so you see one fixed price before you book. You can also hire a pro by the hour; as a guide, hourly hire is typically £35–£75 per hour.
How long does it take to assemble an IKEA bed?
As a rough guide, an IKEA bed frame takes about 1–2 hours. Storage beds, bunk beds and loft beds take longer, because of the drawers or boxes, the height, and the extra safety parts. However long the build takes, you see the fixed price before you book.
What is included in IKEA bed assembly, and what isn't?
Included: unboxing and a parts check, the frame, slatted base and any storage built, guard rails and ladders on high beds, wall fixing where the bed needs it, and the packaging flattened and stacked for recycling. Not included: collecting from an IKEA store, delivering the boxes, or taking away an old bed or mattress. The pro can take your old bed apart in the room so it is ready for you to dispose of.
Do you fix bunk beds and loft beds to the wall?
Yes, where the instructions call for it, and it is part of the fixed price. The pro checks what your wall is made of, whether brick, block or plasterboard, and uses fixings that suit it. Tall pieces on the same order, like a wardrobe or a chest of drawers, are anchored too.
What if the bed is heavy or awkward to handle?
Large storage beds and loft beds often are. Mention the model and any stairs when you book so the build can be planned, and if the job needs a second pair of hands, your pro can ask another pro on JACK to help through the Pro2Pro feature.
Can my IKEA bed be built the same day it is delivered?
Yes, when a pro near you is free that day. Book a time after the delivery window closes, so the boxes are in the room before the pro arrives, and if the delivery slot moves, tell your pro in the app chat.
Can the pro build beds and furniture from other shops too?
Yes. Flat-pack from other shops can go on the same booking as your IKEA bed, whether it is a second bed, a bedside table or a wardrobe. List everything so the fixed price covers the whole visit.
What if parts are missing or damaged?
The pro checks the parts before building and flags anything missing or damaged in the app, so you can order replacements. Whatever can be built is built: if a drawer front is damaged, for example, the frame and slats can still go up and only that drawer waits for the new part. The finishing visit is arranged in the same app thread.
Can you take an IKEA bed apart for a move and rebuild it?
Yes. In the app, book the take-down at your old address and the rebuild at your new one. Taken apart in the right order, a storage bed or a bunk goes back up as solid as it was. Moving a whole flat of furniture? A full-day handyman booking often suits.
Is Jack All Trades part of IKEA?
No. Jack All Trades (JACK) is an independent London service: it is not affiliated with or endorsed by IKEA. IKEA offers its own assembly option; JACK is a separate choice. Product names such as MALM, KURA and MYDAL are used only to describe the beds pros build.
