Overview
Flat-pack assembly in West Kensington and Olympia W14, explained
Flat-pack assembly in West Kensington and Olympia W14 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Hammersmith and Fulham, most of them post-war. 4,112 households sit inside this W14 patch, 95% of them flats, so we quote on access near Olympia London rather than a London average.
How it works
How flat-pack assembly works in West Kensington and Olympia
Five steps, the same on every W14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the West Kensington and Olympia stock goes, the reality on the streets around Olympia London 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 West Kensington and Olympia customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a West Kensington and Olympia wall.
Booked around your day
Next-day slots are usually available and we hold Saturday appointments for delivery days. Kensington (Olympia) (District, Overground) is the nearest station, so a W14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
West Kensington and Olympia walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — and with 47% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in W14, 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 — the pattern behind 4,112 households inside the W14 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.
Fixed prices
Flat-pack assembly prices in West Kensington and Olympia
Fixed prices for W14 and the rest of Hammersmith and Fulham. 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. |

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