Overview
Flat-pack assembly in Catford SE6, explained
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Catford, flat-pack assembly here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 62% of Catford's 6,981 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE6 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How flat-pack assembly works in Catford
Five steps, the same on every SE6 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SE6, New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard — the pattern behind 6,981 households inside the SE6 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 Catford customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Catford wall.
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. South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind.
Booked around your day
Next-day slots are usually available and we hold Saturday appointments for delivery days. Catford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Catford walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, measured on the walk in from Catford (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map in SE6, 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, as the Catford stock goes, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Fixed prices
Flat-pack assembly prices in Catford
Fixed prices for SE6 and the rest of Lewisham. 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 Catford
The same scope across SE6, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Catford: assembly to the manufacturer's instructions, with every fixing checked and tightened, timed against the walk in from Catford (Southeastern)
- On SE6 jobs: anti-tip wall anchoring on wardrobes, bookcases and tall drawer units, agreed on the doorstep in Catford before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: doors and drawers aligned, sliding tracks levelled, allowing for the 33% of SE6 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Flat-pack cardboard and polystyrene taken away, noted on the Catford 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, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE6
- Fitted kitchens and built-in wardrobes, which are a joinery job, outside the fixed price on Catford bookings
- Electrical connection of integrated appliances, and we will say so before the SE6 visit rather than on the day

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 →

Catford SE6 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Catford — the numbers that actually change a flat-pack assembly quote.
6,981 households sit inside the SE6 neighbourhood covering Catford. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 62% of those homes are flats.
Because 33% of Catford is privately rented and 25% socially rented, a lot of SE6 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, measured on the walk in from Catford (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in SE6. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Catford stock goes, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the fault we are called back to undo.
The fibreglass cat, the Broadway theatre and the Rushey Green shops. That character decides the practical detail of flat-pack assembly here far more than the borough boundary does. Catford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind. Nearest station is Catford (Southeastern), and one fitter for most items; two for sliding-door wardrobes, bunk beds and anything that has to be carried up a shared stairwell.
