Overview
Flat-pack assembly in Kensal Green and Kensal Rise NW10, explained
This page prices flat-pack assembly for Kensal Green and Kensal Rise NW10 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 30% privately rented and 3,940 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Brent permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How flat-pack assembly works in Kensal Green and Kensal Rise
Five steps, the same on every NW10 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the Kensal Green and Kensal Rise stock goes, where 49% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Parts check
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
Build in the right room
Anything that will not fit through a London doorway once built is assembled where it stands.
Step 3
Square and level
Carcasses squared before the backs go on — the step that stops doors dropping six months later.
Step 4
Anchor and align
Tall units strapped or bracketed to the wall, hinges and drawer fronts adjusted.
Step 5
Clear the packaging
Cardboard flattened and taken away, floor checked for stray fixings.
Why choose us
Why Kensal Green and Kensal Rise customers book us
Four things decide whether a NW10 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Next-day slots are usually available and we hold Saturday appointments for delivery days. Kensal Rise (Overground) is the nearest station, so a NW10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Kensal Green and Kensal Rise walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — which is what a 55% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kensal Green and Kensal Rise actually produces in NW10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — and with 30% one-person households in Kensal Green and Kensal Rise, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Insured and documented
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.
Fixed prices
Flat-pack assembly prices in Kensal Green and Kensal Rise
Fixed prices for NW10 and the rest of Brent. 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.
| 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. |
| Two-door wardrobe | £85 | 1.5–2 hrs | Doors have to be aligned on the hinges and the carcass anchored to the wall. |
| 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. |

Really pleased with our house move. The guys came on time, loaded everything carefully like a huge jigsaw!
