Barnet · EN5 · Flat-pack assembly
IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in High Barnet, EN5
In EN5 the job usually arrives as a delivery stack in the hall. A narrow hall and a straight stair, which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up, so we plan the carry before the build.
- From £35 an item, £190 a half day — priced per unit, fixed in writing
- solid London stock brick, sometimes with a later plasterboard lining over battens here, so the anti-tip strap goes into something structural
- A narrow hall and a straight stair, which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up
- London Borough of Barnet permits, ULEZ and packaging removal already inside the price

How it works
How a High Barnet assembly visit works
- Send the list, get a fixed priceSend the item list or a photo of the boxes. We price each unit from the published EN5 list and confirm one written figure, including the anchoring your walls need.
- Access sorted for EN5We book the London Borough of Barnet permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, a narrow hall and a straight stair, which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneEach unit is torqued, squared and load-tested, tall pieces are strapped using a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug, or a resin anchor where the brick is soft, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

High Barnet (Northern) is the nearest station, and London Borough of Barnet controls the kerb outside, so the permit is bought before the van leaves rather than argued about on arrival.
4,475 households sit inside the ONS neighbourhood covering High Barnet, and 34% of them are flats — which is why a narrow hall and a straight stair decides the slot length more often than the furniture does.
24% of homes around EN5 are privately rented, so a large share of our High Barnet bookings are move-in-week builds where the tenancy start date, not the weekend, sets the date.

- Parking and permits
- Steep Barnet Hill, narrow high-street loading and driveways on the estates. London Borough of Barnet visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Barnet sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a EN5 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 34% of homes around High Barnet 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 EN5 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.
Scope
What is included in High Barnet
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your High Barnet list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug, or a resin anchor where the brick is soft
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches
- A stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall
- London Borough of Barnet permits or bay suspensions where EN5 needs one
- Flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping taken away in the van
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately)
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit
The complete item list, anchoring matrix and scope policy sit on one page: assembly reference.

Questions
High Barnet EN5 flat-pack assembly questions
Per item, fixed before we arrive: bookcases and cube storage from £35, chests of drawers from £45, bed frames from £55, hinged wardrobes from £75 and modular wardrobe runs from £120 per 100cm frame. A half day in EN5 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around EN5 we are fixing into solid London stock brick, sometimes with a later plasterboard lining over battens, so we use a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug, or a resin anchor where the brick is soft. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
Usually yes. A narrow hall and a straight stair, which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up. Steep Barnet Hill, narrow high-street loading and driveways on the estates. London Borough of Barnet permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit.
All of it. Flattened cardboard, polystyrene, plastic strapping and the offcuts leave with us at the end of the High Barnet visit and go to a licensed transfer station — we are a registered waste carrier.
We carry dowels, cam locks, screws and common fittings, so most short-shipped packs are finished the same visit. Where a panel is damaged we photograph it, note the article number for your retailer claim, and return to finish at no extra labour charge.
Yes. Take-down of existing furniture is quoted alongside the build, and where the old unit is being disposed of we can take it away under our waste carrier licence rather than leaving it on the landing.
Most EN5 bookings are fitted within two to four working days, and we hold same-day and evening slots for handover and tenancy-start dates. Send the item list and you have a fixed written price the same working day.
