Flat pack assembly in London
London is our biggest coverage area. Partner assemblers work across the whole of Greater London — north of the river and south, from inner-London postcodes (N, E, SE, SW, W, NW, EC, WC) out through the suburbs into Croydon, Bromley, Kingston, Harrow, Enfield, Romford and the rest of the outer boroughs.
What London jobs tend to look like
More than anywhere else in the UK, London assembly happens in flats — Victorian conversions in Islington and Clapham with narrow communal stairs, mansion blocks with temperamental lifts, and new-build towers in Stratford, Nine Elms and Canary Wharf where the service lift needs booking through the concierge. Mention the floor, lift and any building rules in your enquiry: carrying time is real time, and a booked service lift can halve it.
The rental market drives a lot of the work too. Landlords and agents furnishing lets between tenancies — often several wardrobes, beds and chests in one visit — are routine jobs here, and several of our partners offer day rates for full-property furnishes. If you're an agent with a portfolio, say so; repeat arrangements are common.
One London-specific note on quotes: travel is priced differently here. Congestion Charge, ULEZ-compliant vans, and parking (or the lack of it) all factor into what assemblers charge, especially in zone 1 and 2. A visitor parking permit or a loading bay you can legitimately offer is genuinely worth mentioning — it can shave real money off a quote.
Furniture supply is easy: IKEA Croydon, Greenwich, Tottenham and Wembley cover the compass points, and same-day delivery from Argos, B&Q and the online retailers reaches every postcode. Most assemblers here are happy with "delivered yesterday, build today" scheduling — just have the boxes inside the flat, not in the lobby, before they arrive.
Getting a quote
List the items (brand and product names help), give your postcode and floor/access details, and attach photos of the boxes if you have them. Up to three assemblers covering your part of London will come back with prices — usually within a working day. Free, no obligation.
