London flat-pack assembly · South London
Flat-pack assembly across Bexley, from DA1, DA14 and DA15 outwards. Suburban south-east London by the Thames — Bexleyheath's shops, Sidcup's semis and Erith's riverside, and that is what shapes every quote we write here.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chest of drawers or bedside units | £45 | 30–50 min | A single carcass with drawer runners — the fastest item in the catalogue. |
| Double or king bed frame | £65 | 45–90 min | Slats, side rails and a headboard, with the frame squared so it does not creak later. |

| Sliding-door or corner wardrobe | £150 | 2.5–4 hrs | Sliding tracks must be dead level or the doors drift; corner units need building in place. |
| Desk, bookcase or shelving unit | £50 | 40–70 min | Quick to build, but tall units are anchored to the wall as standard. |
| Full room, priced by the hour | £45/hr | By quote | Bedroom or nursery sets are cheaper by the hour than item by item once you pass three pieces. |

Bedroom or nursery sets are cheaper by the hour than item by item once you pass three pieces.
Prices assume the boxes are on site and the parts are complete. Anti-tip anchoring is included on every tall unit. Rubbish removal of the packaging is free where the crew has kerb access; where a permit or bay suspension is required for the van it is itemised in the quote.
Working in Bexley
Bexley is built from 1930s semis with driveways, post-war estates at thamesmead and riverside new-build at erith, and the mix changes street by street — Belvedere (DA17), Bexley Village (DA5) and Bexleyheath (DA6) each behave differently on the day.
On the ground, straightforward van access and off-street parking; only bexleyheath broadway needs timed loading. Locally that means wide roads with driveways; the riverside industrial roads carry heavy traffic and narrow village lanes with a one-way section; driveways on the newer roads. Bexley sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
Most flats in Bexley are leasehold, and managing agents here routinely ask for a public liability certificate and a method note before a contractor drills anything. We send both with the booking confirmation.
Why it looks like this: kentish farmland built over between the wars once the dartford loop and bexleyheath lines opened.
Scope
Method
Step 1
Boxes opened and the parts list checked before anything is built, so a missing dowel is found at the start and not at the end.
Step 2
Anything that will not fit through a London doorway once built is assembled where it stands.
Step 3
Carcasses squared before the backs go on — the step that stops doors dropping six months later.
Step 4
Tall units strapped or bracketed to the wall, hinges and drawer fronts adjusted.
Step 5
Cardboard flattened and taken away, floor checked for stray fixings.
Coverage
Also in this borough
Brackets fixed into the right substrate, cables chased or trunked, screen levelled.
Floating and bracketed shelving into plaster, brick, stud and dot-and-dab.
Blinds, poles and bay tracks measured, levelled and fixed to the reveal you have.

Sheds, bases and outdoor storage built square, levelled and weather-fixed.
Sofas, beds and wardrobes taken away and reused or recycled wherever they still can be.
Chest of drawers or bedside units starts at £45 in Bexley, and the ladder runs up to £45/hr for the largest job on the table above. Item count and the type of unit set the price. Sliding-door wardrobes, bunk beds and corner units take two to four times as long as a chest of drawers. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: DA1, DA14, DA15, DA16, DA17, DA5, DA6, DA7, DA8 and SE2 and the rest of the Bexley outward codes. On the ground that includes Belvedere, Bexley Village, Bexleyheath, Crayford, Erith and Sidcup.
Next-day slots are usually available and we hold Saturday appointments for delivery days. South London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Straightforward van access and off-street parking; only Bexleyheath Broadway needs timed loading. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Bexley and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. 1930s semis with driveways, post-war estates at Thamesmead and riverside new-build at Erith is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and anchor every tall unit, which is both the manufacturer's instruction and what building-safety-conscious managing agents expect. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Bexley tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
One fitter for most items; two for sliding-door wardrobes, bunk beds and anything that has to be carried up a shared stairwell. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Bexley postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Missing or damaged parts — we will fit what arrives and return once the replacement lands, Fitted kitchens and built-in wardrobes, which are a joinery job and Electrical connection of integrated appliances. If something on that list turns up in Bexley, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.
Really pleased with our house move. The guys came on time, loaded everything carefully like a huge jigsaw! Nothing got broken and even though they were working on an hourly rate they were really efficient, not to waste any time. Our only criticism is that we needed a few items disassembled to get on the… Read in full →
