How much does flat-pack furniture assembly cost?

Most items are priced individually, from £35 for a small unit. If you have several pieces it is usually cheaper to book time: £55 an hour or £190 for a half day, with everything confirmed before we start.

Do you anchor wardrobes and tall units to the wall?

Yes. Anti-tip anchoring is part of the build, and we carry fixings for plasterboard, dot-and-dab, lath and plaster, stock brick and concrete so nothing is left leaning on a skirting board.

Do you take the packaging away?

Yes. Flattened cardboard, polystyrene and plastic go with us at the end of the visit unless you would rather keep the boxes.

Can you disassemble furniture as well?

We do. Take-down of an existing unit is priced at a share of the build figure for the same item, and we bag and label the fittings so it can go back together later.
