Overview
Flat-pack assembly in Putney SW15, explained
Flat-pack assembly in Putney SW15 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Wandsworth, most of them mainly Victorian. 20,613 households sit inside this SW15 patch, 72% of them flats, so we quote on access near Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start rather than a London average.
How it works
How flat-pack assembly works in Putney
Five steps, the same on every SW15 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SW15, New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard — and with 31% one-person households in Putney, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site 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 Putney customers book us
What follows is specific to Putney: its walls, its access and the paperwork Wandsworth agents ask for.
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. Boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts.
Booked around your day
Next-day slots are usually available and we hold Saturday appointments for delivery days. Putney (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Putney walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Putney, with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why London Borough of Wandsworth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SW15, 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 Putney stock goes, where 47% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
Flat-pack assembly prices in Putney
Fixed prices for SW15 and the rest of Wandsworth. 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 Putney
The same scope across SW15, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Putney: assembly to the manufacturer's instructions, with every fixing checked and tightened, timed against the walk in from Putney (South Western)
- On SW15 jobs: anti-tip wall anchoring on wardrobes, bookcases and tall drawer units, agreed on the doorstep in Putney before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Wandsworth bookings: doors and drawers aligned, sliding tracks levelled, allowing for the 38% of SW15 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Flat-pack cardboard and polystyrene taken away, noted on the Putney 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 Putney bookings
- Fitted kitchens and built-in wardrobes, which are a joinery job, and we will say so before the SW15 visit rather than on the day
- Electrical connection of integrated appliances, handled by London Borough of Wandsworth or a specialist contractor instead

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.

Putney SW15 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Putney — the numbers that actually change a flat-pack assembly quote.
20,613 households sit inside the SW15 neighbourhood covering Putney. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 72% of those homes are flats.
With 38% private renting against 47% owner-occupied, most SW15 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Putney substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Putney, with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why London Borough of Wandsworth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Putney stock goes, where 47% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a SW15 customer twice.
The Boat Race start, the embankment rowing clubs and the high street shops. That character decides the practical detail of flat-pack assembly here far more than the borough boundary does. Putney is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts — 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 Putney (South Western).
