Furniture Assembly Services in Detail
Everything you need to know about our professional furniture assembly service
IKEA Furniture Assembly
PAX wardrobes, MALM beds, BILLY bookcases, KALLAX shelving — we've assembled every IKEA range multiple times. We know the common pitfalls: which cam locks need an extra quarter turn, where a dab of wood glue adds real strength, and why wall-anchoring is absolutely non-negotiable for safety, especially in homes with children. We bring all the tools, handle the unboxing and parts verification, and take away all packaging.
- PAX, MALM, BILLY, KALLAX — all IKEA ranges
- Wall anchoring as standard safety practice
- Unboxing, parts check, and packaging removal
- All tools provided
Flat-Pack Wardrobe Assembly
Wardrobes are the most complex flat-pack items and the ones where assembly errors are most visible — doors that don't align, drawers that stick, and frames that rock because the floor isn't perfectly level. We assemble sliding-door and hinged wardrobes from all retailers, paying particular attention to squaring the frame before fixing the back panel and carefully adjusting door hinges for perfect alignment.
- Sliding and hinged wardrobe assembly
- Frame squaring and levelling on uneven floors
- Door and drawer alignment
- Multi-unit configuration
Bed Frame & Mattress Assembly
From simple divan bases to complex ottoman storage beds, bunk beds, and children's cabin beds, we assemble bed frames of all types. Ottoman gas-lift mechanisms need particular care — incorrect assembly can result in a lid that won't stay up. We also assemble headboards, fit slatted bases, and place mattresses. For bunk beds, we check every bolt and joint for security.
- Divan, ottoman, and bunk bed assembly
- Gas-lift mechanism adjustment
- Headboard and slat fitting
- Safety check on all bunk and children beds
Shelving & Bookcase Assembly
Bookcases, display cabinets, sideboards, and modular storage units — we assemble them all. The key to a good shelving installation is levelling and wall anchoring. We anchor every unit over 600mm tall to the wall as standard, using fixings appropriate for your wall type — plasterboard, brick, or stud. We also level units on uneven floors using packers that are hidden from view.
- Bookcase, cabinet, and sideboard assembly
- Wall anchoring on all units over 60cm
- Levelling on uneven and carpeted floors
- Modular storage configuration
Desk & Home Office Setup
With more people working from home than ever, a properly assembled and ergonomically set up home office makes a real difference to comfort and productivity. We assemble standing desks (electric and manual), corner desks, office chairs, pedestal drawers, and filing cabinets. We also handle cable management — clipping power and data cables neatly under the desk and fitting cable trays.
- Standing desk assembly — electric and manual
- Office chair and pedestal drawer assembly
- Cable management and tidy-up
- Ergonomic monitor and chair height setup
Garden Furniture & Shed Assembly
Garden furniture and outdoor structures need to withstand wind, rain, and temperature swings — assembly has to be robust. We assemble sheds (including base preparation), greenhouse frames, garden bench and dining sets, parasols, and BBQ trolleys. For sheds and larger structures, we can lay a paving slab or timber base if you don't already have one.
- Shed and greenhouse assembly
- Base preparation and levelling
- Garden dining set and bench assembly
- Weather-resistant fixings used throughout
Multi-Brand Flat-Pack Assembly
Argos, Wayfair, Dunelm, John Lewis, Next, M&S, Amazon — flat-pack furniture comes from everywhere now, and the instruction quality varies enormously. We assemble furniture from any retailer, bringing the same methodical approach. Before we start, we check every panel and fitting against the parts list so we don't get halfway through and discover something is missing.
- Argos, Wayfair, Dunelm, John Lewis, Next, M&S
- Pre-assembly parts verification
- All brands and instruction quality levels
- Missing or damaged part advice
Wall-Mounted Unit Installation
Floating shelves, wall-mounted cabinets, TV units, bathroom storage, and mirrors — anything that fixes to a wall needs to be securely anchored. We identify the wall type, locate studs or joists where possible, and select the right fixings for the weight of the unit and the wall material. Every installation is levelled precisely and load-tested before we leave.
- Floating shelf and wall cabinet installation
- Stud and joist detection
- Specialist fixings for all wall types
- Precision levelling and load testing
