IKEA flat pack furniture

IKEA Furniture Assembly in London

We work from IKEA article numbers and assembly diagrams to match frames with the correct accessory packs. We fit the supplied interiors and fronts and check their alignment and travel.

We assemble IKEA flat pack furniture at London properties. Send the article numbers and quantities on your order, and tell us if any boxes are still at the store.

Send the IKEA order list, including separate packs

Start with the article numbers from the order confirmation or product labels. A product family name is helpful, but it may cover several widths, heights and finishes. The article number tells us which version you bought. If the order includes a mix of furniture, give us the quantity of every item you want built.

Some furniture uses more than one box. A bed can have a separate slat pack, and a wardrobe can have doors, rails and drawers supplied separately. Check the full order list before arranging the visit. If some items are still due to arrive, tell us which parts you already have and which are outstanding.

If you ordered several items together but only need help with some of them, mark the ones to assemble. A single order might include small accessories alongside frames and drawer packs. Separating the furniture from the other items makes it easier to discuss what should be included.

Organise a mixed order by room

Give each group of furniture a room name. For example, one order might cover a bed upstairs, a drawer unit in the hall and a desk in the spare room. If two boxes have similar labels, use the article number to keep them with the right group. Leave room around the cartons so the panels can be handled.

Tell us how much floor space is available. An empty bedroom is different from a room where a wardrobe is being replaced or where boxes are still waiting to be unpacked. A room photo is useful if there is a narrow doorway, a low ceiling or a recessed wall. Keep the final position clear if you have already decided where the piece will go.

For a large order, note where the cartons are being delivered. If they will all be left on the ground floor, tell us which items need to go upstairs. If you are assembling several rooms after a move, give us the floor and entry details so we can discuss access when you enquire.

  • Send exact article numbers and quantities.
  • Identify the furniture for each room.
  • List missing, damaged or outstanding cartons.
  • Mention retailer collection or access restrictions.

Share the configuration before booking

For modular furniture, send the finished configuration or order summary. A frame may accept more than one interior layout. If you know where the drawers, rails and shelves should go, give us the plan so the assembler can see the intended arrangement. If two similar frames have different interiors, label the details separately.

An IKEA PAX order is particularly useful to list by frame, height, door type and interior. A pair of tall frames with sliding doors differs from two separate hinged wardrobes. If your configuration includes corner sections or mirrored doors, mention them with the product list. Tell us if the frames need to fit beneath a low ceiling or into an alcove.

Check any manufacturer requirements for wall fixing. If your furniture needs fixing, give us the instructions and say what you know about the wall and any restrictions on drilling. Mention permission requirements for rented properties. We can discuss the particular product and position before you book.

What happens on the assembly visit

Show the assembler the order and the final position of each item. We bring assembly tools and use the supplied fittings and instructions. The product code helps match the instructions to the right set, especially if several frames look alike. If a component has been unpacked or moved, identify where its fixings are.

At the end, check the position and the way the fitted parts work. Look at the shelves, drawers or doors against your plan. If a pack is incomplete, retain the label and instructions so you can identify the relevant component when contacting the retailer. Tell us about missing pieces as soon as you know so they can be considered before arranging a visit.

If you need collection, send the branch, order reference and delivery postcode with the furniture list. If the full order is already at the property, ask for assembly only. If some cartons are still at the store, explain which items are ready and which ones you want assembled after delivery.

Make the quote match the furniture on the order

Use the latest order confirmation when you get in touch. If you change a frame width, swap hinged doors for sliding doors or add a drawer, send the updated list. A change to the product can change the work even if the total number of boxes stays the same.

If another person will be at the property, share the room list and any planner summary with them. Show which pieces are already there and where they should stand. The person meeting us should be able to identify the cartons and confirm the final layout.

Include furniture from other retailers if it needs assembling at the same property. Give it its own product link and quantity. That is particularly useful for rooms where an IKEA bed is paired with a chest or wardrobe from a different supplier.

If an IKEA order includes products for two addresses, separate the lists before asking about a visit. Give each address and room its own group. Confirm where the boxes are at the moment, especially when some have already been delivered to a different property.

For a repeat order, give us the article numbers for the new furniture even if you already own a similar unit. Product names can stay the same across several options. If you want the new and old pieces to sit side by side, share a photo showing the height and position of the existing furniture.
