Furniture Assembly in London
We sort panels and fittings by item before building frames, securing backs and fitting moving parts. At handover we check that furniture sits evenly and that doors and drawers move without rubbing.
Book assembly for a mixed furniture order, a new home or several rooms. Send the model and destination of each piece.

What to check before booking
Prepare a room-by-room furniture list
List each wardrobe, table, bed and storage unit against the room where it belongs. Two similar frames can use different packs, so include product codes and quantities. If part of the order is going to another address, separate it before requesting the quote.
Choose where each piece will stand
Mark which way doors should open and where you want the drawers or desk returns. If an older item is still in the room, tell us whether it will be moved before the visit or needs dismantling. Leave a route for the longest panels.
Arrange the visit around the full order
Tell us which boxes have arrived and which are coming later. If you are furnishing several rooms after a move, include the date each room will be accessible and the contact for the property.
Furniture assembly for a whole room or a mixed order
A bedroom order might contain a bed, two bedside units, a chest and a wardrobe. A living room could need a table, chairs and separate storage. Tell us which pieces you want assembled in each room, rather than sending a single count for the property. If an item has two product codes, include both. We use the list to distinguish a complete order from a set of cartons that contains only some of the furniture.
If you have furniture from more than one retailer, put the retailer beside each model. The same name can be used for different sizes or styles, and an online image may show optional parts that are not in the order. A product link or article number helps us see the actual version. For items bought together, say which ones you want us to build and which are already assembled or being handled separately.
Show where the finished furniture needs to go
Give us the final location of each large item. A wardrobe may fit the available wall but need space in front for the doors to open. A dining table can fit the room with the top closed and still be awkward to use when extended. If you know how you want the room arranged, send a photo or simple sketch showing the doors, windows and items that will stay in place.
A clear layout is particularly useful when the furniture is going into a new property. The people receiving the delivery may not know which cartons belong upstairs or which bedroom gets each storage unit. Mark the destination for similar models, and explain any decision that needs to be made on the day. For example, a desk return may face the window in one room and face away from the door in another.
Arrange access before the cartons arrive
The delivery route and the assembly area are different parts of the job. Check where the boxes will be left and how they reach the final room. A long wardrobe panel or tabletop might fit through the entrance but be difficult to turn on a landing. If you already have the package dimensions, share them with the floor number, any narrow turns and the size of the lift where relevant.
Let us know if a building has a separate loading entrance, restricted hours or a goods lift that must be reserved. For several addresses, provide the access contact for each. If another company is delivering, tell them where you want the cartons left and let us know the arrangement. If you need collection too, send the retailer details separately from your room plan.
What happens during a multi-item visit
Show the assembler the furniture list, the boxes and the intended positions. We bring assembly tools and work with the fittings and instructions supplied for each model. If the order includes two versions of the same product, use the labels to identify the correct cartons. Keep small hardware bags with their furniture, particularly where drawers or door packs were delivered separately.
When one room is ready before the rest, tell us which items matter most for your move or handover. If you want a bed built before the wardrobe, or a desk set up before other storage, mention it in advance so we can discuss what is practical. If a critical part is missing, we can explain what this means for the affected item and discuss which other pieces can go ahead.
Combine assembly with collection or dismantling
If the new furniture is still at the shop, include the branch, collection reference and delivery postcode. The list of furniture to be assembled can differ from the collection list, so mark the pieces that need building. For orders arriving from several shops, show when each part is expected so you can arrange a visit around the furniture that will actually be ready.
If you need an old flat pack dismantled, give it a separate entry. Send a photo and note any wall fixings, damaged joints or mirrored doors. Tell us what will happen to the parts afterwards. If a separate removal company will collect them, agree where the parts can be left so they do not block the work area for the new furniture.
Check the quote against your item list
Before arranging a date, check that the quote reflects every item you want assembled and the address where it will stand. A change from hinged to sliding doors, or from a plain bed to a storage model, can alter the work. If the retailer substitutes anything or changes the delivery schedule, forward the revised information before the visit.
At the end of the visit, review the positions and operation of the pieces with the assembler where possible. Open the drawers and doors you asked to be fitted and check that the layout matches your plan. Keep retailer references for any item that still needs a replacement part. For a later delivery, send the outstanding items as a separate list so it is clear what remains.
When a room is ready before the rest of the property
If you are moving in stages, you may have one room ready for furniture while another is still being painted or used for storage. Tell us which rooms are available and when. For a new bedroom, say whether the bed needs to be usable first. In a home office, the priority might be a desk and chair, with other storage able to wait until later cartons arrive.
Send the latest list to the person who will meet the assembler. They should know which pieces are included, where the fittings are and where the completed furniture belongs. If someone else chooses the layout, ask them to mark the positions before the visit. A copy of the room plan can resolve questions without moving a large item after it has been assembled.

Questions before booking
For work booked alongside this service, see flat-pack furniture assembly and dismantling and reassembly.
Can you build furniture in more than one room?
Yes. Put the destination room next to every item.
What if some boxes arrive later?
Tell us which packs are outstanding before booking.
Can I include furniture from different shops?
Yes. Include a product link or reference from each retailer.
Can you assemble a mix of furniture from different retailers?
Yes. We use the instructions and fittings for each model and keep hardware with its own item while working through the list.
What if a missing fitting affects one item in a larger booking?
We identify the affected item and the part needed. Whether the rest can go ahead depends on whether those items can be built independently.
