Overview
Flat-pack assembly in Lee SE12, explained
This page prices flat-pack assembly for Lee SE12 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 22% privately rented and 6,151 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Lewisham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How flat-pack assembly works in Lee
Five steps, the same on every SE12 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings on these streets — which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 Lee customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Lee 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. Driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays.
Booked around your day
Next-day slots are usually available and we hold Saturday appointments for delivery days. Lee (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE12 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Lee walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick in Lee, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, the pattern behind 6,151 households inside the SE12 neighbourhood in SE12, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Lee gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, where 60% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
Flat-pack assembly prices in Lee
Fixed prices for SE12 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. |

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.

Lee SE12 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Lee — the numbers that actually change a flat-pack assembly quote.
Lee SE12 is mainly Victorian and owner-occupier-led: 39% of homes here are flats and 60% are houses, across 6,151 households (ONS Census 2021).
The owner-occupier-led mix here (60% owned, 22% privately rented) means a SE12 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are solid London stock brick in Lee, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, the pattern behind 6,151 households inside the SE12 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Lee is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Lee gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, where 60% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Manor House library, Lee Green's shops and streets of interwar houses. That character decides the practical detail of flat-pack assembly here far more than the borough boundary does. Lee is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays. Nearest station is Lee (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.
