Overview
Flat-pack assembly in Collier Row RM5, explained
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Romford, flat-pack assembly here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 12% of Collier Row's 3,167 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in RM5 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How flat-pack assembly works in Collier Row
Five steps, the same on every RM5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In RM5, Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings — the pattern behind 3,167 households inside the RM5 neighbourhood 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 Collier Row customers book us
What follows is specific to Collier Row: its walls, its access and the paperwork Havering agents ask for.
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. Wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading.
Booked around your day
Next-day slots are usually available and we hold Saturday appointments for delivery days. Romford (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a RM5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Collier Row walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why London Borough of Havering kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in RM5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Collier Row stock goes, and with 14% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Flat-pack assembly prices in Collier Row
Fixed prices for RM5 and the rest of Havering. 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 Collier Row
The same scope across RM5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Collier Row: assembly to the manufacturer's instructions, with every fixing checked and tightened, timed against the walk in from Romford (Elizabeth line)
- On RM5 jobs: anti-tip wall anchoring on wardrobes, bookcases and tall drawer units, agreed on the doorstep in Collier Row before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Havering bookings: doors and drawers aligned, sliding tracks levelled, allowing for the 14% of RM5 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Flat-pack cardboard and polystyrene taken away, noted on the Collier Row job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Missing or damaged parts — we will fit what arrives and return once the replacement lands, and we will say so before the RM5 visit rather than on the day
- Fitted kitchens and built-in wardrobes, which are a joinery job, handled by London Borough of Havering or a specialist contractor instead
- Electrical connection of integrated appliances, which we refer on to the right trade in Collier Row

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.

Collier Row RM5 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Collier Row — the numbers that actually change a flat-pack assembly quote.
Collier Row RM5 is post-war and owner-occupier-led: 12% of homes here are flats and 88% are houses, across 3,167 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 14% private renting against 74% owner-occupied, most RM5 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, which is why London Borough of Havering kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Collier Row is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Collier Row stock goes, and with 14% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
A large residential suburb north of Romford with its own shopping parade. That character decides the practical detail of flat-pack assembly here far more than the borough boundary does. Collier Row 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: wide suburban roads, driveways and easy kerbside loading. Romford (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.
