Overview
Flat-pack assembly in Ealing W5, explained
This page prices flat-pack assembly for Ealing W5 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 41% privately rented and 18,588 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Ealing permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How flat-pack assembly works in Ealing
Five steps, the same on every W5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Ealing stock goes, and with 41% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does 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 Ealing customers book us
Four things decide whether a W5 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. Ealing Broadway (Elizabeth line, Central, District) is the nearest station, so a W5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Ealing walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in W5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — measured on the walk in from Ealing Broadway (Elizabeth line, Central, District) rather than assumed from a map.
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 Ealing
Fixed prices for W5 and the rest of Ealing. 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. |

Scope
What's included in Ealing
The same scope across W5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On W5 jobs: assembly to the manufacturer's instructions, with every fixing checked and tightened, agreed on the doorstep in Ealing before anything is unpacked
- In Ealing: anti-tip wall anchoring on wardrobes, bookcases and tall drawer units, timed against the walk in from Ealing Broadway (Elizabeth line, Central, District)
- Doors and drawers aligned, sliding tracks levelled, noted on the Ealing job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Ealing bookings: flat-pack cardboard and polystyrene taken away, allowing for the 41% of W5 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Missing or damaged parts — we will fit what arrives and return once the replacement lands, which we refer on to the right trade in Ealing
- Fitted kitchens and built-in wardrobes, which are a joinery job, handled by London Borough of Ealing or a specialist contractor instead
- Electrical connection of integrated appliances, and we will say so before the W5 visit rather than on the day

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

Ealing W5 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Ealing — the numbers that actually change a flat-pack assembly quote.
The W5 stock around Ealing Studios and Walpole Park is mainly Victorian. ONS records 63% flats, 37% houses and 18,588 households in Ealing.
41% of households rent privately and 45% own, which is why flat-pack assembly demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in W5. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — measured on the walk in from Ealing Broadway (Elizabeth line, Central, District) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Ealing knows the pattern near Ealing Studios and Walpole Park: the Queen of the Suburbs — Walpole Park, the studios and a busy Broadway. We plan the W5 visit around it. Ealing is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: broadway loading windows, permit bays on the villa streets and booked lifts in new blocks. Ealing Broadway (Elizabeth line, Central, District) 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.
