IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Belvedere, DA17
Around Lesnes Abbey Woods the stock gives us lath and plaster over timber studs, with solid brick on the party walls, which is why an identical wardrobe takes ninety minutes in one DA17 flat and half a day in the next. Most Belvedere lists start with an alcove-width wardrobe and a chest of drawers, both anchored back to something structural.
- From £35 an item, £190 a half day — priced per unit, fixed in writing
- lath and plaster over timber studs, with solid brick on the party walls here, so the anti-tip strap goes into something structural
- Communal stairs with a half-landing turn, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded
- London Borough of Bexley permits, ULEZ and packaging removal already inside the price

How it works
How a Belvedere 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: communal stairs with a half-landing turn, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded, 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, never into the lime plaster itself, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

28% of Belvedere households are one-person, which is where single-visit builds — one wardrobe, one bed, one desk — outnumber whole-flat days.
Belvedere (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and London Borough of Bexley controls the kerb outside, so the permit is bought before the van leaves rather than argued about on arrival.
3,983 households sit inside the ONS neighbourhood covering Belvedere, and 48% of them are flats — which is why communal stairs with a half-landing turn decides the slot length more often than the furniture does.

Cable and pipe detector on every wall, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, which crumbles the key and lets a loaded wardrobe walk forward is the callback nobody wants.

- 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.
Scope
What is included in Belvedere
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Belvedere list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud, never into the lime plaster itself
- 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 Bexley permits or bay suspensions where DA17 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
Belvedere DA17 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 DA17 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around DA17 we are fixing into lath and plaster over timber studs, with solid brick on the party walls, so we use a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud, never into the lime plaster itself. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
Usually yes. Communal stairs with a half-landing turn, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded. Wide roads with driveways; the riverside industrial roads carry heavy traffic. London Borough of Bexley 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 Belvedere 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 DA17 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.
