The Job That Always Looks Easy Until You Try It
Need to swap bedrooms around? Kid moving into the bigger room? Creating a guest bedroom? Moving a bed sounds simple until you're halfway up the stairs with a mattress wrapped around your head and the frame wedged in the doorway.
Let me handle it.
💡 Pro tip: Beds are designed to be assembled in the room they're going in - getting them through standard UK doorways often requires partial dismantling.

What to Expect
Step 1: Quick Assessment
I check the bed and the route - what needs dismantling, where tight spots are, if we need floor protection.
Step 2: Careful Dismantling
Take apart only what's necessary. All screws and fixings go in labelled bags so I know what goes where on rebuild.
Step 3: Protected Move
Mattress and frame moved carefully. Doorframes padded if needed, carpets protected on stairs.
Step 4: Solid Rebuild
Everything reassembled in the new room, tightened properly, levelled up. Quick check for wobbles - it should feel solid.

Good to Know
> 🎯 **Multiple beds?** If you're reorganising several rooms, do them all in one go - saves you multiple callout charges and I can work more efficiently. **Old beds with knackered fixings?** If I find stripped screws or broken brackets while dismantling, I can usually replace them while I'm there (saves the bed being wobbly in its new location). **Exeter's old houses:** Those Victorian terraces with twisty staircases and narrow doorways are my bread and butter. I'm used to furniture that wasn't designed for houses built 150 years ago.
Frequently Asked Questions about Bed moving in Newton Abbot
What types of beds can you move?
Singles, doubles, kings, bunk beds, divan bases, ottoman storage beds - pretty much anything. The only tricky ones are those super-heavy solid wood beds, but even those just take a bit more time.
Do you take the whole bed apart?
Only as much as needed. If the headboard and frame will fit through doors intact, I leave them together. If not, it all comes apart and gets put back together in the new room. I bag up all the screws and fixings so nothing gets lost.
Can you move beds upstairs or downstairs?
Yes - that's usually why people need help. Getting a double bed frame around tight corners and up narrow stairs is a proper puzzle in these old Devon houses. I've done hundreds.
What about the mattress?
I move that too. Mattresses are awkward rather than heavy - they flop about and catch on everything. I have mattress bags if you're worried about them getting dirty.
Will the bed be solid when you rebuild it?
Yes - I tighten everything properly and make sure it's stable. If any fixings are worn or stripped, I'll let you know (and can often replace them while I'm there).
