Overview
Flat-pack assembly in Woolwich SE18, explained
This page prices flat-pack assembly for Woolwich SE18 specifically: post-war stock, 25% privately rented and 13,241 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Greenwich permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How flat-pack assembly works in Woolwich
Five steps, the same on every SE18 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — with 47% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first 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 Woolwich customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE18 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Woolwich walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Woolwich, often with surface conduit, which is what a 63% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Woolwich actually produces in SE18, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Woolwich gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the pattern behind 13,241 households inside the SE18 neighbourhood.
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.
Crew sized to the job
One fitter for most items; two for sliding-door wardrobes, bunk beds and anything that has to be carried up a shared stairwell. Royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers.
Fixed prices
Flat-pack assembly prices in Woolwich
Fixed prices for SE18 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 Woolwich
The same scope across SE18, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: assembly to the manufacturer's instructions, with every fixing checked and tightened, allowing for the 25% of SE18 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Anti-tip wall anchoring on wardrobes, bookcases and tall drawer units, noted on the Woolwich job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Woolwich: doors and drawers aligned, sliding tracks levelled, timed against the walk in from Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR)
- On SE18 jobs: flat-pack cardboard and polystyrene taken away, agreed on the doorstep in Woolwich before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Missing or damaged parts — we will fit what arrives and return once the replacement lands, and we will say so before the SE18 visit rather than on the day
- Fitted kitchens and built-in wardrobes, which are a joinery job, handled by Royal Borough of Greenwich or a specialist contractor instead
- Electrical connection of integrated appliances, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE18

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 →

Woolwich SE18 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Woolwich — the numbers that actually change a flat-pack assembly quote.
13,241 households sit inside the SE18 neighbourhood covering Woolwich. The build is post-war, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 63% of those homes are flats.
The social-housing-led mix here (28% owned, 25% privately rented) means a SE18 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Woolwich substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Woolwich, often with surface conduit, which is what a 63% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Woolwich actually produces. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Woolwich gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, the pattern behind 13,241 households inside the SE18 neighbourhood is the mistake that costs a SE18 customer twice.
Woolwich is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the Arsenal's converted barracks, a market town centre and the ferry across the river — which is why a SE18 quote is not a Greenwich average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers. Woolwich (Elizabeth line, DLR) 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.
