Home & office assembly
Furniture Assembly in London
We build flat pack furniture for London homes and workplaces, from an IKEA PAX wardrobe to a floor of new desks. Book assembly for boxes you already have, or ask us to collect and deliver your furniture as part of the job.
Have your postcode and product links ready for a quote.
Can I book assembly only?
Yes. If the flat packs are already at your address, send us the product names and quantities and ask for assembly only.
Can you collect from IKEA?
Yes. Tell us the store and what you ordered. If you also need the furniture built, include assembly in the same enquiry.
Furniture Assembly Services
Bedroom furniture
We assemble beds, wardrobes and chests of drawers. Tell us whether a bed has under-bed storage, or a wardrobe has sliding doors or extra internal fittings. Those details help us identify the exact build.
Office furniture
We build office desks, workstations, chairs, cabinets and shelving. If you are furnishing several rooms, send quantities by room and let us know how the team will reach each floor.
Collection and delivery
If the furniture is still at the retailer, ask about collection and delivery to your address. We can discuss assembly alongside delivery so the quote covers the work you want.
Furniture We Assemble
Tell us which pieces you need built and where they are going. A wardrobe with drawers and a pull-out rail has more parts than a plain cabinet, even when the two boxes look similar. Product links help us tell them apart.
For matching furniture, list every piece separately. A bedroom set might include a bed, two bedside cabinets and a chest of drawers. If something arrived damaged or a carton is missing, tell us before confirming the job.
If you are replacing a large piece, measure the wall or alcove where the new unit will stand and leave the route into the room clear. Check the space in front of drawers and hinged doors. For a bed with a lift-up base, check what sits above and around it before deciding where it should go.
| Furniture | What to tell us |
|---|---|
| Wardrobes | Model, frame count, door type and interior fittings. |
| Beds | Frame size, storage drawers or lift-up base. |
| Chests and cabinets | Number of units, drawers and doors. |
| Desks and tables | Size, quantity and whether units join together. |
| Bookcases and shelving units | Height, model and number of bays. |
IKEA & Flat Pack Assembly
Our IKEA furniture assembly service in London covers jobs such as PAX wardrobes, beds and drawer units. We also build flat pack furniture from retailers including Argos, Habitat and John Lewis. Send the retailer listing or manufacturer’s model number so we can identify the fittings and components.
For PAX, send the planner summary if you have it. It shows how many frames, doors, rails, shelves and drawers you ordered. Check which packages have arrived, particularly when doors or interior fittings were delivered separately. For a tall unit, mention low ceilings, skirting or a narrow recess when you enquire.
If the manufacturer calls for wall fixing, tell us before booking and say whether you have permission to fix into the wall. Please share the instructions and any information you have about the wall so we can discuss the requirement with you.
| Product | Useful details |
|---|---|
| IKEA PAX | Planner summary, frame heights and interior fittings. |
| IKEA bed or drawer unit | Exact product name, article number and number of cartons received. |
| Other retailers | Product link or model number, plus any notes about missing parts. |
How Our Assembly Service Works
Send your furniture list
Use the enquiry form or call us. Tell us your postcode, the product names and quantities, and whether the boxes are already at the address. Mention stairs, a small lift or any limits on access.
Review your quote
We use the item list and the requested work to prepare a quote. Confirm which furniture is included and whether you need collection, delivery or both before arranging a visit. If you need assembly after a separate delivery, allow for the full order to reach the property first. Keep any replacement components with the original cartons so the assembler can match them to the correct item.
Clear the build area
Keep the cartons and supplied fixings together in the room where possible. Leave enough floor space to lay panels flat and room to walk around. If several rooms are involved, label where each set of boxes belongs.
Show us where it goes
On arrival, show the assembler the boxes and the final position. We bring the tools for the assembly. Once the build is complete, look over the finished pieces and raise any questions about the furniture before the visit ends.
Furniture Collection & Delivery
If you have already placed an order, tell us which shop holds the furniture and keep the order confirmation handy. For IKEA orders, keep the article numbers with your order details. Let us know whether the order is ready for collection or whether you are still putting your shopping list together.
Include the delivery postcode, floor number and any restrictions at the property. A long wardrobe carton may fit through the entrance but be awkward on a tight staircase. Details like these help us discuss how the furniture can reach the right room.
If you need collection, delivery and assembly, put all three in the enquiry. If someone else is delivering, let us know when you expect the full order to arrive so you can arrange the assembly around it.
Home & Office Furniture Assembly
At home, the priorities are usually room access and getting a particular piece in place. Let us know if other furniture is still in the room, or if a bed or wardrobe needs to go into a loft or upstairs flat. Send details of all the rooms you want us to work in.
For a workplace, send an item list by room or floor. An office fit-out might have repeated desks, meeting tables and shared storage. Tell us where the boxes will be left and whether there is a delivery bay, a goods lift or someone who can let us into the building.
If several teams will share the same office, mark the destination of each set of furniture on your room list. Send the drawing for any desks that are meant to sit together in a row. Identify the building contact who can show us where the boxes are and answer questions about room access.
| Setting | What helps on the day |
|---|---|
| Home | Clear the build area and keep each item’s fixings with its cartons. |
| Office | Provide the room plan, quantities by floor and a contact for building access. |
Prices & What Affects the Quote
The best starting point is your item list. The product model matters because two pieces that serve the same purpose can have very different parts. A desk with a drawer pedestal is a different build from a simple table, and a wardrobe with sliding doors differs from a plain hinged model.
If the order changes after you enquire, send the updated list before the visit. Add any changes to the delivery address, floor or access arrangements at the same time. This gives us a chance to review the job with the right information.
| Factor | What to include |
|---|---|
| Furniture and quantities | Model links and a count of every item to be assembled. |
| Configuration | Door type, drawers, inserts or joining parts shown on the order. |
| Property access | Postcode, floor, stairs, lift and any access restrictions. |
| Collection and delivery | Retailer, collection details and the destination if you need transport. |
London Coverage

Why Choose Simple Assembly

Furniture Assembly FAQs
Can I book for just one item?
Yes. Send the item name, model and postcode even if you only have one bed, desk or wardrobe to build.
Should I open the boxes before you arrive?
Keep each item’s cartons, instructions and fixings together. If the boxes are already open, keep the fittings with the matching panels and tell us if any pieces are missing.
What if only part of my order arrives?
Tell us which cartons are missing before your visit. If they contain doors, frames or hardware needed for the build, we can discuss what can be assembled with the parts you have.
Do you assemble furniture from retailers other than IKEA?
Yes. We assemble flat pack furniture from retailers such as Argos, Habitat and John Lewis. A product link helps identify the exact model.
Can you build several desks in one office visit?
Send the desk models and quantities, and tell us which rooms they belong in. We can discuss the work and building access together when you ask for a quote.
What if the furniture needs to be fixed to the wall?
Tell us what the manufacturer requires and share any information you have about the wall and permission to fix into it. We can discuss what is needed before you book.
