Scope
What is included in London
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Barbican list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: a long through-fixing past the void into the blockwork in EC2, or a spread-load anchor on a metal stud — which is why City of London Corporation kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician, handled by City of London Corporation or a specialist contractor instead
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, which we refer on to the right trade in Barbican
The complete item list, anchoring matrix and scope policy sit on one page: assembly reference.
Why Hello Services
Why book assembly in London with us
We scan before we drill
Cable and pipe detector on every wall, with The Barbican Centre a few streets away, because in EC2, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever the sheet off its dabs — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the callback nobody wants on City of London bookings.
Packaging leaves with us
Flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping go in the van at the end of the Barbican visit on City of London bookings, with 4,914 households on this patch.

Best when the boxes are unlabelled, second-hand or missing their instructions.
- Parking and permits
- Estate loading bays must be booked with the car park office; goods lifts are shared and time-limited. City of London Corporation visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Part of City of London sits inside the Congestion Charge zone and all of it is inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a EC2 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 98% of homes around Barbican are flats, so goods-lift booking and stair carries are planned before the slot rather than discovered on the day.
- Packaging removal
- Flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping leave in the van at the end of every EC2 visit, at no extra charge.
Wall plugs, through-fixings, resin anchors, hollow-wall anchors and anti-tip straps come out of the van and are inside the price. Replacement dowels, cam locks and manufacturer spare parts are ordered at cost with the receipt attached to your invoice.
Walls and anchoring
What holds an anti-tip strap in London
Most likely here
Barbican gives us post-2010 apartments lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Barbican actually produces
- Wall construction
- with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over dense block — the reality on the streets around The Barbican Centre
- The fixing we use
- a long through-fixing past the void into the blockwork in EC2, or a spread-load anchor on a metal stud — which is why City of London Corporation kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded
- Access
- concierge sign-in in Barbican, a booked goods lift and a loading-bay window, all arranged before the slot — a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here
Per-item pricing across 329 London areas, with one written figure before the visit.

Quick assembly of a big gas bbq . Friendly service too
Sulltan and Adam were absolutely brilliant. They assembled some complicated IKEA items perfectly. They were really helpful and left assembly areas clean and tidy. I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

About London
London in context
Greater London holds every kind of wall a flat-pack restraint can meet: lime plaster over timber lath in the conversions, solid stock brick in the terraces, dot-and-dab board over block in the towers, and precast concrete on the estates. The furniture is identical everywhere; the fixing behind it is not.

No. Hello Services is an independent furniture assembly company with no affiliation to IKEA or any other flat-pack retailer. We build any brand's furniture, and we name ranges only to describe what we are assembling.
Yes, noticeably. Each additional unit drops in price because you pay for one set-up, one permit and one carry rather than three. The estimator on every page shows the one-visit saving before you commit.
Yes. Second-hand units, marketplace buys and packs with no instructions are billed hourly rather than per item, because the build time depends on what survived the last move. We say which applies before you book.
