Start with an item list that shows what is already in each room
When several pieces are going into one room, say what is already there and what you intend to leave. Give the model and quantity of each item and show the position where you need it. If a bed or cabinet has to come apart first, add that to the list rather than assuming it is covered by assembling the replacement. A desk beside an existing chest or a wardrobe beside a doorway may need access on more than one side while it is being assembled. Show the clear space available and tell us which pieces can move temporarily.
The fitter uses the hardware specified for the model and tools that suit each fixing. We put together the frames or supports and check how the parts meet before fitting any fronts or accessories. The finished room matters when using an adjustment on a hinge or runner. A floor change or projecting skirting can affect how two cabinets align and what can open beside them. Tell us if you need the furniture to line up with an existing piece. Include a photo of the room from far enough away to show both positions and the route between them.
Choose the furniture you need assembled
Fit wardrobe doors and the right storage parts in every bay
For a wardrobe, send the frame model, width, height and intended doors. Hinged fronts need clearance for their swing and handles. A sliding front uses tracks and has its own fitting requirements. The installer builds the frame from the specified parts, checks its shape and installs the planned interiors and fronts. We check the doors and pull-out parts in the final position. Show any beam or lower ceiling section where the wardrobe will stand. Include the lowest measurement and how far the obstruction projects, since the room needed to assemble the frame can differ from the space it takes upright.
For IKEA PAX assembly, send the planner drawing and the final article list. Mark the bays with their shelves, rails, drawers or baskets. Tell us if an extra part was bought separately or the front changed after the plan was drawn. The fitter matches compatible components and checks their movement in the intended positions. For other IKEA storage, list optional inserts, dividers and doors by model. If the manufacturer requires restraint, send the instructions and show where the unit is to stand. Tell us what you know about the wall and any fixing restrictions before arranging the visit.
Build beds and cabinets around their opening space
Give the bed frame model, mattress size and any separate base, headboard or storage components. The fitter assembles the rails and supports, fits the slats or base and checks applicable moving parts using the model instructions. A side drawer needs room to open even when a person can already walk between the bed and a chest. For an ottoman bed, give the lifting direction and tell us if the mattress is needed for the manufacturer’s checks. Show the proposed position of cabinets or bedside tables and identify what is coming out of the room before the new furniture can be built.
For cupboards, chests and bookcases, send the model and any separate shelves, fronts or support packs. We assemble the frame and check the alignment before attaching hinges or runners. The fitter checks the drawers and doors in the final position and uses the adjustments the furniture allows. Tell us if a tall unit needs a restraint. A separate shelf or mirror fixed to a wall needs its own details, including bracket, position and surface if known. If you also want a curtain fitting or another installation considered, include it on the enquiry and give any relevant restrictions on drilling.
Furnish a table and office layout from the seating position
For a dining table, include the top material and size when it is closed and open. Tell us if an extension or base arrives in a separate pack. The fitter assembles the supports and top and checks the supplied extension where there is enough room. Mark where chairs or a bench will go, since those positions affect the clearance around the top. For a desk, tell us the position of the return from the seat and list any drawers, screen or cable fittings. A pedestal can affect where a chair will fit even if the main top clears the wall.
For office furniture, send the planned layout, number of tops and the frame count. A linked workstation row can share supports and need to be assembled as a group. Show where trays, screens and drawer units attach and give the relevant product numbers. We assemble the specified pieces and check connections and alignment in the agreed position. If part of the office is still in use, tell us which desks can be cleared and who will move equipment or deal with fixed cables. Identify where cartons can wait and who will confirm the finished layout if it changes during the work.
| Room | Information to show | What it affects |
|---|---|---|
| Bedroom | Old frame, new bed and storage opening | Which piece comes out first |
| Living room | Where the cabinet fronts need to move | How much space stays clear |
| Office | Which frames are shared or occupied | Order in which desks can be fitted |
Plan dismantling, transport and the position for reassembly
If an existing piece has to come apart, send photographs showing the furniture and any accessible fixings. Let us know if it has been repaired, altered or fixed to another unit. The fitter checks how it is joined and what can be released. If you plan to have it rebuilt, keep the panels and matching hardware identified. If another carrier is moving the parts, tell us where they should wait. The fitter checks the panels and fasteners again before reassembly. A damaged joint or missing hardware may need a replacement or assessment before a piece can be used again.
Give the route at both ends if you are moving between properties. Show the clear width at a narrow door or stair and where the longest part has to turn. For a lift, give the opening, height and cabin depth, and explain any reservation or loading rules. If the furniture is moving between rooms, tell us about the path from one to the other and the final room position. A wall restraint needed at the old address may have to be considered again with the wall at the new position. Let us know if you intend to use a different arrangement for the rebuilt piece.
| Access point | What to measure or show |
|---|---|
| Entrance door | Actual opening with any handle or fixed rail |
| Stair landing | Space to turn the longest panel before entering the room |
| Lift on a shared route | Cabin, opening and any further steps |
| Piece | Keep the relevant part or reference |
|---|---|
| Old cabinet | Original connectors and any removed restraint |
| IKEA storage | Article list for doors and interior fittings |
| New bed | Separate headboard, storage or base packs |
Request a Lewisham quote with collection or other fitting included
Send the full address, models, quantities and room list. If you need furniture collection and delivery, give the shop, purchase reference and what has been confirmed ready. Include any separate order for doors or accessories. If the retailer is delivering, confirm where the boxes will be left and how they will reach the room. Tell us which new furniture can be completed if a carton is still due. List existing furniture and any wall or fitting request separately. Give instructions or bracket details and explain if permission or a particular access arrangement is needed.
When the furniture is ready, check the agreed positions and operate the doors, drawers or extensions you plan to use. Ask where the instructions and spare fittings have been left. If the order will take more than one visit, note what has been fitted and which model or hardware still needs to arrive. Give the person meeting the fitter the latest layout and item references. If there is a problem with a missing component, keep its label and part number to discuss with the retailer. Update the order and access notes before another visit if the room or delivery position changes.
Mark anything that belongs to the old furniture
If old and new furniture are in the same room, keep the original hardware away from the new fittings. Label it with the piece and the destination. It helps when the old furniture is being collected later or the fitter needs to check what will be required to rebuild it. Tell us where any pieces awaiting transport can be left without blocking access. If the hardware has been replaced in the past, keep a note of which holes or connectors were changed. That gives the fitter more information when assessing the condition. Give the model label if you can still see it, especially for panels that are identical from the front.
Questions about furniture assembly in Lewisham
Which postcode should I use when asking for a Lewisham booking?
Send the full postcode for the address where the furniture will go. Give the entrance and floor details if they are different from the delivery address.
Can you build an office desk before a storage unit in the same room?
Show the intended positions and how each item reaches them. We can discuss which one needs to be assembled first to keep the route and working space clear.
Should I leave old cabinet hinges on if the doors are already removed?
Tell us what you have removed and keep the parts identified. The fitter can check whether the remaining hardware needs to be released for the move.
Can I add a wall shelf to a booking for freestanding cabinets?
Yes, include the shelf model, brackets, intended wall and any permission needed. The wall fitting can then be discussed separately from putting the cabinets together.
What if an order for a bed frame is ready but the mattress is still due?
Send the model and say whether it has a lifting base. The manufacturer’s instructions determine if the mattress is needed for any operating check.
