IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Bexley
Flat-pack and IKEA assembly across Bexley covers 7 areas, and the wall behind the plaster changes street by street. 25% of homes here are flats, so half the diary is conversion-flat lath and dot-and-dab board, and half is solid brick and timber stud. Every anti-tip strap goes into something structural, never into the board alone.

How it works
How a Bexley 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 DA17 list and confirm one written figure, including the anchoring your walls need.
- Access sorted for DA17Access is arranged before the day: so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded — and communal stairs with a half-landing turn, with 20% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, with the London Borough of Bexley permit paid for by us.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneEach unit is torqued, squared and load-tested, tall pieces are strapped using a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud; locally that also means never into the lime plaster itself, where 50% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Scope
What is included in Bexley
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Belvedere list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- In Belvedere: anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud; locally that also means never into the lime plaster itself, where 50% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, timed against the walk in from Belvedere (Southeastern)
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, noted on the Belvedere job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Bexley bookings: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, allowing for the 29% of DA17 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- London Borough of Bexley permits or bay suspensions where DA17 needs one
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician, quoted separately if you need it arranged in DA17
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, which we refer on to the right trade in Belvedere
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), handled by London Borough of Bexley or a specialist contractor instead
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, and we will say so before the DA17 visit rather than on the day
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, which we refer on to the right trade in Belvedere
The complete item list, anchoring matrix and scope policy sit on one page: assembly reference.
Why Hello Services
Why book assembly in Bexley with us
Priced per item, not per hour
Your DA17 list is quoted per unit in writing the same working day, with 28% one-person households here, with no doorstep re-quote in this 48% flats neighbourhood.
We scan before we drill
Cable and pipe detector on every wall, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and lets a loaded wardrobe walk forward on this side of Bexley — and this being a short walk from Belvedere (Southeastern), with 3,983 households on this patch, and with 28% one-person households in Belvedere, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the callback nobody wants.
Packaging leaves with us
Flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping go in the van at the end of the Belvedere visit on DA17 jobs, with 50% owner-occupation locally.

The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.
- Parking and permits
- Wide roads with driveways; the riverside industrial roads carry heavy traffic. London Borough of Bexley visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Bexley sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a DA17 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 48% of homes around Belvedere 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 DA17 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 Bexley
Most likely here
in DA17, Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions — measured on the walk in from Belvedere (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map
- Wall construction
- with solid brick on the party walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, the pattern behind 3,983 households inside the DA17 neighbourhood
- The fixing we use
- a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud; locally that also means never into the lime plaster itself, where 50% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year
- Access
- so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded — and communal stairs with a half-landing turn, with 20% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first
28% of Belvedere households are one-person, which is where single-visit builds — one wardrobe, one bed, one desk — outnumber whole-flat days.

Bexley flat-pack assembly questions

All 7 areas, each with its own page covering the housing stock, the wall construction that comes with it and what a two-metre box has to get through to reach the room. Straightforward van access and off-street parking; only Bexleyheath Broadway needs timed loading.
Yes, on every item designed to be restrained. We scan for cable and pipe, then use the fixing the wall genuinely needs — a stud screw in lath, a through-fixing on dot-and-dab, resin in soft brick, a screwbolt in concrete — and load-test it before leaving.
Yes. Void turnarounds, furnished-let packs and student handovers are handled with photographs on completion, an itemised invoice per property and one contact for a portfolio. We can attend with keys from the agent.
Where a visitor permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange and pay for it with London Borough of Bexley, and the cost is already inside your quote. Our vans are ULEZ compliant.
Yes — £1m public liability, DBS-checked fitters, and photographs of every anchored unit on completion. If a fixing we installed fails we come back and put it right.
