Sofa Bed and Modular Seating Assembly in London
We fit the feet, arms and supplied connectors, and join modular sections in their agreed order. For sofa beds we open and close the mechanism with the furniture positioned to check its movement and clearance.
Ask about assembling your sofa or sofa bed. Send the product link and tell us which sections and fittings arrived.

What to check before booking
Identify the modules and the mechanism
Tell us whether the sofa arrives as one unit with legs to attach or in several connecting sections. For a sofa bed, send the manufacturer instructions and exact model so we can see how the sleeping mechanism is supplied.
Measure the delivery route and opening space
The largest upholstered section can be awkward on a tight staircase. Send package dimensions if available. At the final position, check the space needed to extend a sofa bed or access any storage underneath.
Show how you want the room arranged
For a corner or chaise sofa, identify the intended handing and what needs to face the room. Keep connectors and fittings with their modules. Tell us if a mechanism looks damaged or has already been removed from the frame.
Identify the sofa sections on your order
Send the retailer link, finish and configuration, especially if the same range includes a corner version, chaise and standard sofa. Say which parts arrived separately. A sofa may only need its legs fitted, while a modular design can have multiple seats, backs, arms and connectors. The item list helps us discuss the actual work instead of assuming every piece comes ready to use.
Check whether the left-hand and right-hand versions are identified on the packaging. A chaise that is shown on one side in a product photograph may be ordered in the opposite arrangement. Tell us how you want the sofa to face and what is on either side of it. If the set includes a footstool or separate chair, list that as its own item.
Explain how the sofa bed opens
For a sofa bed, send the exact model and the relevant instructions. Different products use pull-out platforms, fold-down backs or mechanisms that arrive already attached. Tell us whether you received the sleeping section and mattress separately. If the mechanism looks damaged or was removed before delivery, send a photo and describe what happened.
Measure the space needed when the bed is fully open. A coffee table, radiator or doorway may affect the available length even if the sofa fits in its sitting position. If the furniture is going into a guest room that also contains a desk or storage unit, show how you want the room to work in both layouts.
Check the largest upholstered piece against the access route
Use the packaging dimensions from the retailer if you have them. Tell us about narrow stairs, small lifts and sharp turns between the entrance and room. A wide upholstered module can be harder to manoeuvre than a carton of panels. If the furniture is already in the room, say so. If it is waiting by the entrance, explain how far it needs to go.
Keep the protective wrapping where practical until the pieces are ready to be placed. If a box has been damaged, photograph it and the affected area. Give us the details before booking, particularly if a connection point, leg or bracket is bent. The retailer may need the product label and condition photos to identify a replacement.
Prepare the layout and hardware
Clear space for the sections to be brought together. Leave the connector packs, feet and instructions with the corresponding modules. If two seats have different fittings, keep their labels visible. Let us know if the floor is uneven or there is a thick rug where the sofa will stand, because it can affect how you want the final position set out.
If you are replacing an older sofa, tell us whether it will have been moved before the visit. A clear area near the final wall is particularly useful when the furniture needs to be assembled in sections. If you also want an old flat pack taken apart, include photographs and describe it separately from the new order.
Check the seating and sleeping arrangements
When we arrive, show which boxes belong to the sofa and confirm the orientation before the pieces are positioned. We work with the fittings and instructions supplied for the model. If the retailer supplied different leg options or a separate set of connectors, show us which parts are intended for your configuration.
Review the finished position and ask about any part that does not match the order. If the product is a sofa bed, check that the planned opening area is clear. For removable cushions, keep the product care and use guidance with your paperwork. Report any supplied part that seems incomplete or damaged before relying on it.
Prepare a quote that covers the whole sofa order
Include the model, quantity, postcode and delivery status. Note the number of sections, any sofa bed mechanism and the final room. If cartons are still at a retailer, include the branch and collection details. For a delivery arranged by another company, tell us when the full set should be on site.
If the sofa is part of a living room order, list tables, cabinets and other furniture separately. Give a simple sketch if the seating layout matters. If you need assembly on more than one floor, mark the destination for every piece. This avoids treating several modules and several unrelated items as the same job.
Keep the product information after the visit
Retain the retailer confirmation, instructions and any part labels for your sofa. The model reference is useful if you later need another matching section, a replacement leg or help moving the sofa bed. If you change the room layout, compare the new opening space with the product information before moving it.
List delivery and assembly as separate parts of the request
If the sofa is still at the retailer, send the order confirmation and package dimensions along with the destination. Let us know whether the order includes a second module arriving on a different day. A delivery that leaves the cartons on the ground floor may need different arrangements from one that takes them to a top-floor living room.
If assembly will take place after another company delivers, check where the furniture will be left. Keep the route and final room clear and tell us if the sofa needs to be opened in a particular direction. If a larger piece comes apart only in a way specified by the manufacturer, send those instructions before the visit.
