Overview
This page prices gym equipment assembly for Bank and Cornhill EC3 specifically: period conversion stock, 48% privately rented and 4,914 households in total. Work starts at £65, fixed in writing, with parking and City of London Corporation permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
Box dimensions against your doorway, stair turn and lift before the crew is booked, so nothing arrives that cannot get in.
Step 2
Parts checked against the manual first, so a missing bolt is found at the start rather than three hours in.
Step 3
Bolts drawn up in the sequence the manufacturer specifies, then re-checked once the frame is standing.
Step 4
Feet adjusted to the floor as it actually is, cables routed and weight stacks aligned to run without rub.
Step 5
Machine run through its range, console paired, packaging flattened and taken away.
Why choose us
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, use floor protection as standard and photograph the finished build with the torque points checked — useful for a warranty claim later.
One fitter for bikes, benches and rowers; two for treadmills, racks and multi-gyms, or wherever the machine must be carried above the ground floor. Bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only.
Most builds are booked within 48 hours and we work around delivery slots so the boxes are not left in a hallway. Bank (Central, Northern, Waterloo & City, DLR) is the nearest station, so a EC3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, the pattern behind 4,914 households inside the EC3 neighbourhood in EC3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Bank and Cornhill gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exercise bike, rower or cross-trainer | £65 | 45–75 min | Straightforward build, but the console cabling is the part most self-builds pinch. |
| Folding treadmill | £95 | 1–1.5 hrs | Heavy deck, two-person lift, and the incline motor has to be calibrated after assembly. |
| Multi-gym or cable machine | £180 | 2–4 hrs | Cable routing and weight-stack alignment are the whole job; a mis-routed cable wears through in months. |
| Power rack or squat stand | £150 | 2–3 hrs | Bolts are torqued in sequence and the uprights checked plumb, because a rack that is out of plumb racks unevenly. |
| Bench, dumbbell rack or storage tree | £55 | 30–60 min | Quick build, usually added to another item on the same visit. |
| Carry to an upper floor, per flight | £25 | 10–20 min | Treadmills and racks arrive in 40–70kg boxes; stairs are priced honestly rather than refused on the day. |

Scope
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.
