With 50% of Mortlake and East Sheen homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Mortlake and East Sheen rounds — and 56% owner-occupation locally, with 28% of SW14 homes being privately rented, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

Are your fitters insured for work in SW14?

Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and anchor every tall unit in Mortlake and East Sheen, with a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood, which is both the manufacturer's instruction and what building-safety-conscious managing agents expect.

What is not included in flat-pack assembly in Mortlake and East Sheen?

Missing or damaged parts — we will fit what arrives and return once the replacement lands; Fitted kitchens and built-in wardrobes across SW14, with 56% owner-occupation locally — and Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play, which are a joinery job; Electrical connection of integrated appliances.

Overview

Flat-pack assembly in Mortlake and East Sheen SW14, explained

Flat-pack assembly in Mortlake and East Sheen SW14 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Richmond upon Thames, most of them mainly Edwardian. 4,944 households sit inside this SW14 patch, 50% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Boat Race finishing post rather than a London average.

How it works

How flat-pack assembly works in Mortlake and East Sheen

Five steps, the same on every SW14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Mortlake and East Sheen gives us victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, the reality on the streets around The Boat Race finishing post 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 Mortlake and East Sheen customers book us

Four things decide whether a SW14 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.

Mortlake and East Sheen walls, not generic walls

We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in SW14, with solid brick on the party and external walls — which is why London Borough of Richmond upon Thames kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SW14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in SW14, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — where 56% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.

Insured and documented

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.

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. Level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces.

Booked around your day

Next-day slots are usually available and we hold Saturday appointments for delivery days. Mortlake (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Fixed prices

Flat-pack assembly prices in Mortlake and East Sheen

Fixed prices for SW14 and the rest of Richmond upon Thames. 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.

Flat-pack assembly price guide for Mortlake and East Sheen SW14
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.

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.

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 →

Working in Mortlake and East Sheen

Mortlake and East Sheen SW14 at a glance

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Mortlake and East Sheen — the numbers that actually change a flat-pack assembly quote.

The SW14 stock around The Boat Race finishing post is mainly Edwardian. ONS records 50% flats, 50% houses and 4,944 households in Mortlake and East Sheen.

Private renting sits at 28% and owner-occupation at 56%; the first group books flat-pack assembly at short notice, the second plans it.

Expect lath and plaster over timber studs in SW14, with solid brick on the party and external walls — which is why London Borough of Richmond upon Thames kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in SW14. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in SW14, which crumbles the key and drops the panel — where 56% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the fault we are called back to undo.

Two streets can behave very differently in Mortlake and East Sheen: the Boat Race finish, the old brewery site and East Sheen's shopping parade. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Mortlake and East Sheen is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.

On access, level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces — one reason one fitter for most items; two for sliding-door wardrobes, bunk beds and anything that has to be carried up a shared stairwell. Fitters travelling in use Mortlake (South Western).
