One Less Thing To Worry About On Moving Day
Moving with kids is stressful enough without spending half the night building bunk beds while they're crying for their old bedroom. Let me handle the kids' room setup while you deal with everything else.
💡 Pro tip: Book this before you move in. I can have the whole room ready so your kids walk into a finished bedroom - not a pile of flatpack boxes.

What to Expect
Step 1: Quick Planning Call
Tell me what furniture you've got (send photos if easier) and when you need it done. I'll confirm timing and give you a price.
Step 2: Build & Install
I arrive with tools, build everything properly, install shelves/rails, and make sure it's all safe and stable. Usually works best if the room's empty when I start.
Step 3: Room Ready
Beds made up (if you leave bedding), storage in place, room ready for your kids to move in. All the packaging gone, floor hoovered.
🔧 DIY Tips
Want to tackle kids room setup yourself? Here's how to do it without losing your mind:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Cordless drill/driver
- Hammer
- Allen keys (usually supplied)
- Spirit level
- Stud finder (for wall-mounted shelves)
- Hoover (for after)
📐 Assembly order matters
- Build beds first - they take up most space
- Position wardrobe/chest of drawers
- Last, fit shelves/rails to walls
- This way you're not climbing over finished furniture
✂️ Bunk bed tips
- Two people make it much easier
- Build bottom bunk completely first
- Check the rail fixings twice - kids will test them
- Follow weight limits in the instructions
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Rushing bed assembly - those bolts need to be TIGHT
- Skipping the wall anchors for tall furniture
- Not checking if shelves are level
- Assembling furniture before you know where it's going in the room
💡 Pro trick: Before you start building, lay out where each piece will go in the room. Kids' rooms are usually small - don't build the wardrobe in front of where the bed needs to be.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🏠 Doing multiple rooms? If I'm already there setting up the kids' rooms, I can do adult bedrooms, home office, whatever else needs building. More efficient to do it all in one visit.
Old house with uneven floors? No problem - I can shim bed frames so they don't wobble. Common issue in Exeter's older properties.
Moving in stages? I can do a basic setup now (bed and essential storage) then come back when the rest of the furniture arrives. Whatever works for you.
Safety anchors for furniture: If you've got toddlers or young kids, I'd recommend securing tall furniture (wardrobes, chest of drawers) to the walls. I can supply and fit proper anchors - much safer than those flimsy straps that come in the box.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly do you do for kids room setup?
I build the beds, assemble any storage units or bookshelves, hang any shelves you want up, and generally get the room functional. If you want help unpacking boxes and putting toys/books away too, I can do that - just let me know when booking.
Can you do this before we move in?
Absolutely - that's actually the best time. Give me the keys and I'll have the room ready before your kids even see it. Makes moving day so much easier when they can go straight into a finished bedroom.
Do I need to buy the furniture first?
Yes, I'll need the furniture there ready to assemble. If you're ordering online, just coordinate delivery to the new house a day or two before I come. I can work with any flatpack from IKEA, Argos, wherever.
How long does a typical kids room take?
Depends what needs doing. A single bed and a small bookcase might be 1.5 hours. Bunk beds, wardrobe, desk, and shelving could be 3-4 hours. Tell me what furniture you've got and I'll estimate more accurately.
Can you safety-check things like bunk bed rails?
Yes - I always check that beds are stable, bunk bed rails are secure, and nothing's wobbly. Your kids' safety is priority one. If something doesn't feel right, I'll let you know.
