Overview
Flat-pack assembly in Nunhead SE15, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Nunhead, flat-pack assembly here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 58% of Nunhead's 7,127 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE15 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How flat-pack assembly works in Nunhead
Five steps, the same on every SE15 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SE15, Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block — the pattern behind 7,127 households inside the SE15 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 Nunhead customers book us
What follows is specific to Nunhead: its walls, its access and the paperwork Southwark agents ask for.
Nunhead walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, measured on the walk in from Nunhead (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map in SE15, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Nunhead stock goes, where 41% 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. Steep hill streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station.
Fixed prices
Flat-pack assembly prices in Nunhead
Fixed prices for SE15 and the rest of Southwark. 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 Nunhead
The same scope across SE15, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Nunhead: assembly to the manufacturer's instructions, with every fixing checked and tightened, timed against the walk in from Nunhead (Southeastern)
- On SE15 jobs: anti-tip wall anchoring on wardrobes, bookcases and tall drawer units, agreed on the doorstep in Nunhead before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Southwark bookings: doors and drawers aligned, sliding tracks levelled, allowing for the 20% of SE15 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Flat-pack cardboard and polystyrene taken away, noted on the Nunhead 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, outside the fixed price on Nunhead bookings
- Fitted kitchens and built-in wardrobes, which are a joinery job, and we will say so before the SE15 visit rather than on the day
- Electrical connection of integrated appliances, handled by London Borough of Southwark or a specialist contractor instead

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 →

Nunhead SE15 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Nunhead — the numbers that actually change a flat-pack assembly quote.
Nunhead SE15 is mainly Victorian and social-housing-led: 58% of homes here are flats and 42% are houses, across 7,127 households (ONS Census 2021).
The social-housing-led mix here (41% owned, 20% privately rented) means a SE15 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, measured on the walk in from Nunhead (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in SE15. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Nunhead stock goes, where 41% 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.
Nunhead sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — cemetery, hill views and a quiet village green between Peckham and Brockley — which is why a SE15 quote is not a Southwark average.
On access, steep hill streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station — 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 Nunhead (Southeastern).
