IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Erith, DA8
Two Erith flats on the same street can take a different amount of time for the same wardrobe, and the reason is the substrate: sometimes with a later plasterboard lining over battens, over solid London stock brick, where 57% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. We bring the fixings for it rather than trusting the bag in the box.

How it works
How a Erith 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 DA8 list and confirm one written figure, including the anchoring your walls need.
- Access sorted for DA8Access is arranged before the day: which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up, over a narrow hall and a straight stair, with 22% 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 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug in Erith, or a resin anchor where the brick is soft, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Scope
What is included in Erith
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Erith 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 in Erith, or a resin anchor where the brick is soft, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches — including packaging removed
- Standard on Bexley bookings: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, arranged with London Borough of Bexley where the kerb needs it
- London Borough of Bexley permits or bay suspensions where DA8 needs one
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician, handled by London Borough of Bexley or a specialist contractor instead
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, and we will say so before the DA8 visit rather than on the day
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), outside the fixed price on Erith bookings
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, quoted separately if you need it arranged in DA8
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, which we refer on to the right trade in Erith
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
- Riverside estate roads, tower blocks with single lifts and wide suburban streets behind. 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 DA8 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 43% of homes around Erith 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 DA8 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.

Yes, and it is included. Around DA8 we are fixing into sometimes with a later plasterboard lining over battens, over solid London stock brick, where 57% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so we use a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug in Erith, or a resin anchor where the brick is soft, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
In Erith, usually yes. Which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up — and a narrow hall and a straight stair — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Riverside estate roads, tower blocks with single lifts and wide suburban streets behind. London Borough of Bexley permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit. That covers stair carry on Erith jobs too.
All of it. Flattened cardboard, polystyrene, plastic strapping and the offcuts leave with us at the end of the Erith visit and go to a licensed transfer station — we are a registered waste carrier.
Most missing-part problems are solved from our own fixings stock while the fitter is still in the room. A damaged panel is different — we log it with photographs and the article number so your DA8 replacement is straightforward, then return to complete the build free of 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 Erith landing.
