Overview
Flat-pack assembly in Moorgate EC2 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in City of London, most of them recent new-build. 4,914 households sit inside this EC2 patch, 98% of them flats, so we quote on access near Finsbury Circus Gardens rather than a London average.
How it works
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.
Why choose us
One fitter for most items; two for sliding-door wardrobes, bunk beds and anything that has to be carried up a shared stairwell. Congestion Charge, weekday loading windows before 10:00, and building managers who require insurance documents.
Next-day slots are usually available and we hold Saturday appointments for delivery days. Moorgate (Northern, Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a EC2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in EC2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in EC2, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — which is why City of London Corporation kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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
| 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. |

Scope
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 →

Working in Moorgate
The EC2 stock around Finsbury Circus Gardens is recent new-build. ONS records 98% flats, 2% houses and 4,914 households in Moorgate.
Owner-occupation runs at 37% in Moorgate, so alongside the 48% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in EC2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in EC2, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — which is why City of London Corporation kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Moorgate knows the pattern near Finsbury Circus Gardens: office core around Finsbury Circus and Liverpool Street, with a small resident population above the shops. We plan the EC2 visit around it. Moorgate sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: congestion Charge, weekday loading windows before 10:00, and building managers who require insurance documents. Moorgate (Northern, Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, and one fitter for most items; two for sliding-door wardrobes, bunk beds and anything that has to be carried up a shared stairwell.

Chest of drawers or bedside units starts at £45 in Moorgate, with 37% owner-occupation locally — and City of London parking rules in play, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Item count and the type of unit set the price around Moorgate (Northern, Elizabeth line). Sliding-door wardrobes, bunk beds and corner units take two to four times as long as a chest of drawers in this 98% flats neighbourhood, with 48% of EC2 homes being privately rented.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions across EC2, with 37% owner-occupation locally. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Moorgate most weeks on the Moorgate rounds, with 15% social-rented stock nearby.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for Moorgate (EC2) addresses, with this being City of London Corporation territory.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on EC2 jobs. With 98% of Moorgate homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm around Moorgate (Northern, Elizabeth line) — and 2% of Moorgate homes being houses, with City of London parking rules in play, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and anchor every tall unit in Moorgate, with this being a short walk from Moorgate (Northern, Elizabeth line), which is both the manufacturer's instruction and what building-safety-conscious managing agents expect. That paperwork is what most City of London letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat around Moorgate (Northern, Elizabeth line), with 48% of EC2 homes being privately rented.
Missing or damaged parts — we will fit what arrives and return once the replacement lands; Fitted kitchens and built-in wardrobes on the Moorgate rounds, with 51% one-person households here — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, which are a joinery job; Electrical connection of integrated appliances. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Moorgate EC2 price you agree is the price you pay for Moorgate (EC2) addresses, with City of London parking rules in play.
All three. With 48% of Moorgate privately rented and 37% owner-occupied, roughly half the EC2 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of City of London — and 4,914 households on this patch, with 48% of EC2 homes being privately rented.
