How it works
How a New Barnet and Cockfosters 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 EN4 list and confirm one written figure, including the anchoring your walls need.
- Access sorted for EN4Driveways almost everywhere; Cockfosters Road is fast and hard to stop on. We confirm the carry route for two-metre panels and reserve the kerb so the boxes move once.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneWe build in the room, level to the floor you actually have, adjust every hinge and runner, anchor with or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does, over a stud-located screw at 400mm centres — and driveways almost everywhere; cockfosters road is fast and hard to stop on, and leave with all the packaging.

Scope
What is included in New Barnet and Cockfosters
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your New Barnet and Cockfosters list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- On EN4 jobs: anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does, over a stud-located screw at 400mm centres — and driveways almost everywhere; cockfosters road is fast and hard to stop on, with 46% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Barnet bookings: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, arranged with London Borough of Barnet where the kerb needs it
- A stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall — including one visit
- London Borough of Barnet permits or bay suspensions where EN4 needs one
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician, which we refer on to the right trade in New Barnet and Cockfosters
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, quoted separately if you need it arranged in EN4
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), outside the fixed price on New Barnet and Cockfosters bookings
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, and we will say so before the EN4 visit rather than on the day
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, handled by London Borough of Barnet or a specialist contractor instead
The complete item list, anchoring matrix and scope policy sit on one page: assembly reference.

The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.
- Parking and permits
- Driveways almost everywhere; Cockfosters Road is fast and hard to stop on. 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 EN4 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 46% of homes around New Barnet and Cockfosters 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 EN4 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.
