Fixed prices

Flat-pack assembly prices in Camden

Fixed prices for Camden, agreed before the crew is booked. 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. Where the Congestion Charge, ULEZ and permit-only frontages apply in Camden, they are itemised rather than rolled into an hourly rate.
Flat-pack assembly price guide for Camden
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Chest of drawers or bedside units£4530–50 minA single carcass with drawer runners — the fastest item in the catalogue.
Double or king bed frame£6545–90 minSlats, side rails and a headboard, with the frame squared so it does not creak later.
Two-door wardrobe£851.5–2 hrsDoors have to be aligned on the hinges and the carcass anchored to the wall.
Sliding-door or corner wardrobe£1502.5–4 hrsSliding tracks must be dead level or the doors drift; corner units need building in place.
Desk, bookcase or shelving unit£5040–70 minQuick to build, but tall units are anchored to the wall as standard.
Full room, priced by the hour£45/hrBy quoteBedroom 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 Camden

Why Camden is not a generic London job

Camden Lock and the Regent's Canal is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Camden.

The housing stock

What our crews walk into in Camden is georgian townhouses, victorian conversions, big post-war estates and canal-side warehouse lofts, and the mix changes street by street — Belsize Park (NW3), Bloomsbury (WC1) and Camden Town (NW1) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

On the ground, camden's cpzs run seven days in parts of kentish town and camden town; narrow hampstead lanes rarely take anything bigger than a luton. Locally that means resident-permit streets, hill gradients and conversion flats up three or four flights and camden cpz all week, listed staircases and squares where loading needs a bay suspension. Part of Camden sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.

London Borough of Camden rules

Leases across Camden restrict drilling into party and structural walls. We check what the wall actually is before we start, and where consent is needed we say so rather than fixing anyway.

How the borough got this way

Camden took its present shape because the canal and the railway termini made camden town an industrial goods yard; bloomsbury grew as a planned estate of garden squares.

Scope

What's included in Camden

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Belsize Park or West Hampstead.

Included in the price

  • Assembly to the manufacturer's instructions, with every fixing checked and tightened
  • Anti-tip wall anchoring on wardrobes, bookcases and tall drawer units
  • Doors and drawers aligned, sliding tracks levelled
  • Flat-pack cardboard and polystyrene taken away

Not included

  • 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
  • Electrical connection of integrated appliances

Method

How a Camden booking runs

Five steps, the same on every Camden job, so you know what happens before you commit.
  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Build in the right room

    Anything that will not fit through a London doorway once built is assembled where it stands.

  3. Step 3

    Square and level

    Carcasses squared before the backs go on — the step that stops doors dropping six months later.

  4. Step 4

    Anchor and align

    Tall units strapped or bracketed to the wall, hinges and drawer fronts adjusted.

  5. Step 5

    Clear the packaging

    Cardboard flattened and taken away, floor checked for stray fixings.

Local questions

Flat-pack assembly in Camden — your questions

  • How much does a flat-pack build cost in Camden?

    Chest of drawers or bedside units starts at £45 in Camden, 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. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.

  • Which Camden postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: EC1, N1, N1C, N6, N7, NW1, NW3, NW5, NW6 and WC1 and the rest of the Camden outward codes. On the ground that includes Belsize Park, Bloomsbury, Camden Town, Chalk Farm, Dartmouth Park and Euston.

  • How quickly can you get to Camden?

    Next-day slots are usually available and we hold Saturday appointments for delivery days. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.

  • What about parking and permits in Camden?

    Camden's CPZs run seven days in parts of Kentish Town and Camden Town; narrow Hampstead lanes rarely take anything bigger than a Luton. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Camden and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

  • Do you work in Camden flats and blocks with no lift?

    Yes. Georgian townhouses, Victorian conversions, big post-war estates and canal-side warehouse lofts 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.

  • Are you insured and licensed for work in Camden?

    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 Camden tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.

  • Who turns up, and with what?

    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 Camden postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.

  • What is not included?

    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 Camden, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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 →
