Overview
Flat-pack assembly in Charlton SE7, explained
Flat-pack assembly in Charlton SE7 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Greenwich, most of them mainly Victorian. 5,904 households sit inside this SE7 patch, 48% of them flats, so we quote on access near Charlton House rather than a London average.
How it works
How flat-pack assembly works in Charlton
Five steps, the same on every SE7 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Charlton gives us council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, which is what a 48% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Charlton actually produces 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 Charlton customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE7 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. Charlton (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Charlton walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — where 41% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in SE7, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE7, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — measured on the walk in from Charlton (Southeastern) 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 Charlton
Fixed prices for SE7 and the rest of Greenwich. 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 Charlton
The same scope across SE7, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Assembly to the manufacturer's instructions, with every fixing checked and tightened — including flat-pack assembly
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: anti-tip wall anchoring on wardrobes, bookcases and tall drawer units, arranged with Royal Borough of Greenwich where the kerb needs it
- On SE7 jobs: doors and drawers aligned, sliding tracks levelled, with 48% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Charlton: flat-pack cardboard and polystyrene taken away, the way it is done on Charlton jobs
Not included
- Missing or damaged parts — we will fit what arrives and return once the replacement lands, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE7
- Fitted kitchens and built-in wardrobes, which are a joinery job, which we refer on to the right trade in Charlton
- Electrical connection of integrated appliances, and we will say so before the SE7 visit rather than on the day

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.

Charlton SE7 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Charlton — the numbers that actually change a flat-pack assembly quote.
Census 2021 puts Charlton at 5,904 households with a median age of 36. The mainly Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 52% houses and 48% flats need different handling in SE7.
Private renting sits at 20% and owner-occupation at 41%; the first group books flat-pack assembly at short notice, the second plans it.
Charlton substrates run to often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — where 41% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in SE7, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — measured on the walk in from Charlton (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a SE7 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Charlton knows the pattern near Charlton House: jacobean Charlton House, the Valley stadium and riverside retail parks. We plan the SE7 visit around it. Charlton 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: match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads. Charlton (Southeastern) 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.

5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on SE7 jobs, with 48% of homes here being flats.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Charlton doorway?

With 48% of Charlton homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm for Charlton (SE7) addresses — and 38% social-rented stock nearby, with 20% of SE7 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Who books flat-pack assembly in Charlton SE7 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 20% of Charlton privately rented and 41% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE7 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across SE7 — and this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, with 48% of homes here being flats.

Charlton House is the marker we route to around Charlton (Southeastern), with 52% of Charlton homes being houses, and match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads.
