| 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. |

Working in Richmond upon Thames
Richmond upon Thames is built from georgian and victorian villas, edwardian terraces, mansion flats and riverside conversions, and the mix changes street by street — Barnes (SW13), Hampton and Hampton Hill (TW12) and Hampton Wick (TW11) each behave differently on the day.
Parking is the job before the job here: conservation-area streets with narrow entrances, flood-zone riverside loading limits and strict cpzs in richmond and twickenham. Locally that means narrow village lanes, conservation-area limits and boat race day closures and riverside lanes are narrow and flood-prone; driveways elsewhere. Richmond upon Thames sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
Leases across Richmond upon Thames 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.
Royal palaces at Richmond and Hampton Court set the tone; Georgian and Victorian villas followed the river and the railway. That history is why Richmond upon Thames property behaves the way it does today.
Scope
Method
Step 1
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
Anything that will not fit through a London doorway once built is assembled where it stands.
Step 3
Carcasses squared before the backs go on — the step that stops doors dropping six months later.
Step 4
Tall units strapped or bracketed to the wall, hinges and drawer fronts adjusted.
Step 5
Cardboard flattened and taken away, floor checked for stray fixings.
Coverage
Also in this borough
Brackets fixed into the right substrate, cables chased or trunked, screen levelled.

Blinds, poles and bay tracks measured, levelled and fixed to the reveal you have.

Sofas, beds and wardrobes taken away and reused or recycled wherever they still can be.
Chest of drawers or bedside units starts at £45 in Richmond upon Thames, 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: SW13, SW14, SW15, TW1, TW10, TW11, TW12, TW2 and TW9. On the ground that includes Barnes, Hampton and Hampton Hill, Hampton Wick, Kew, Mortlake and East Sheen and Richmond.
Next-day slots are usually available and we hold Saturday appointments for delivery days. West London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Conservation-area streets with narrow entrances, flood-zone riverside loading limits and strict CPZs in Richmond and Twickenham. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Georgian and Victorian villas, Edwardian terraces, mansion flats and riverside conversions 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.
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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Richmond upon Thames tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
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 Richmond upon Thames postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
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 Richmond upon Thames, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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 →
