Time on Site
Most bed assemblies take 45 minutes–2 hours depending on size and complexity. Factors that extend time include narrow doorways or staircases, built-in storage or drawers, missing/damaged fixings, mattress handling and jobs requiring two people (divans, king, bunk beds).
Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• do you bring all common fixings and tools or should i provide the manufacturer kit
• will a second person be needed for my bed (king/divan/bunk) and is there an extra charge
• can you remove and dispose of my old bed and what is the disposal fee
• do you charge per hour or a fixed price and what does the call-out cover
• are you insured for accidental damage to floors/stairs and do you offer a workmanship guarantee
• how long will you need on site and do you need access to a power socket
How to Avoid Surprises
• measure doorways, stair width and lift clearances before the arrival
• remove mattress, bedding and personal items from the room
• reserve a parking space close to the property for drop-off and removal
• check the assembly kit and have the manufacturer model number or instructions to hand
• inform the tradie of narrow stairs, tight corners or restricted access in advance
• secure pets and clear floor space for protective coverings
