Flat-pack assembly in Kensington and Chelsea

We work in Kensington and Chelsea every week — the densest borough in the country — white stucco crescents, museum quarter and the portobello and world's end ends. Flat-pack assembly is priced against that reality, not a national average.

Fixed prices

Flat-pack assembly prices in Kensington and Chelsea

These are the Kensington and Chelsea floor prices for a flat-pack build. 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. In this borough the additional variables are the Congestion Charge, ULEZ and permit-only frontages, and each is quoted separately so you can see it.
Flat-pack assembly price guide for Kensington and Chelsea
JobFromWhat sets the price
Chest of drawers or bedside units£45A single carcass with drawer runners — the fastest item in the catalogue.
Double or king bed frame£65Slats, side rails and a headboard, with the frame squared so it does not creak later.
Two-door wardrobe£85Doors have to be aligned on the hinges and the carcass anchored to the wall.
Sliding-door or corner wardrobeQuoted per job — free quoteSliding tracks must be dead level or the doors drift; corner units need building in place.
Desk, bookcase or shelving unitQuoted per job — free quoteQuick to build, but tall units are anchored to the wall as standard.
Full room, priced by the hour£45/hrBedroom or nursery sets are cheaper by the hour than item by item once you pass three pieces.

Prices assume the boxes are on site and the parts are complete. Anti-tip anchoring is included on every tall unit. Rubbish removal of the packaging is free where the crew has kerb access; where a permit or bay suspension is required for the van it is itemised in the quote.

Working in Kensington and Chelsea

Why Kensington and Chelsea is not a generic London job

The Natural History Museum and Notting Hill's Portobello Road is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Kensington and Chelsea.

The housing stock

Kensington and Chelsea is built from stucco-fronted terraces, mansion flats, mews houses and the lancaster west and world's end estates, and the mix changes street by street — Bayswater (W2), Chelsea (SW3) and Earl's Court (SW5) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

Parking is the job before the job here: some of the tightest cpzs in london, mews entrances under 2.1m and communal-stair-only access in many mansion blocks. Locally that means hotel servicing congestion, permit bays and five-storey walk-ups and cadogan estate parking rules, king's road red-route loading and mews arches with height limits. Part of Kensington and Chelsea sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea rules

Leases across Kensington and Chelsea restrict drilling into party and structural walls. We check what the wall actually is before we start, and where consent is needed we say so rather than fixing anyway.

How the borough got this way

Kensington and Chelsea took its present shape because market gardens turned into the great exhibition's albertopolis, then estate-built stucco terraces for the victorian wealthy.

Local questions

Flat-pack assembly in Kensington and Chelsea — your questions

  • How much does a flat-pack build cost in Kensington and Chelsea?

    Chest of drawers or bedside units starts at £45 in Kensington and Chelsea, and the ladder runs up to £45/hr for the largest job on the table above. 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. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.

  • Which Kensington and Chelsea postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: SW10, SW3, SW5, SW7, W10, W11, W14, W2 and W8. On the ground that includes Bayswater, Chelsea, Earl's Court, Holland Park, Kensington and Ladbroke Grove.

  • How quickly can you get to Kensington and Chelsea?

    Next-day slots are usually available and we hold Saturday appointments for delivery days. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.

  • What about parking and permits in Kensington and Chelsea?

    Some of the tightest CPZs in London, mews entrances under 2.1m and communal-stair-only access in many mansion blocks. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

  • Do you work in Kensington and Chelsea flats and blocks with no lift?

    Yes. Stucco-fronted terraces, mansion flats, mews houses and the Lancaster West and World's End estates is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.

  • Are you insured and licensed for work in Kensington and Chelsea?

    Fitters carry £1m public liability and anchor every tall unit, which is both the manufacturer's instruction and what building-safety-conscious managing agents expect. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.

  • Who turns up, and with what?

    One fitter for most items; two for sliding-door wardrobes, bunk beds and anything that has to be carried up a shared stairwell. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Kensington and Chelsea postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.

  • What is not included?

    Missing or damaged parts — we will fit what arrives and return once the replacement lands, Fitted kitchens and built-in wardrobes, which are a joinery job and Electrical connection of integrated appliances. If something on that list turns up in Kensington and Chelsea, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.
