IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Sidcup, DA15
Two Sidcup flats on the same street can take a different amount of time for the same wardrobe, and the reason is the substrate: cavity brickwork on the external walls, over timber stud partitions inside, which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. We bring the fixings for it rather than trusting the bag in the box.

How it works
How a Sidcup 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 DA15 list and confirm one written figure, including the anchoring your walls need.
- Access sorted for DA15Access is arranged before the day: driveway or kerbside unloading; locally that also means so boxes come in flat and get built in the room they belong in, measured on the walk in from Sidcup (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map, 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 or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does, over a stud-located screw at 400mm centres, which is what a 46% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Sidcup actually produces, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Scope
What is included in Sidcup
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Sidcup list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- 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, which is what a 46% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Sidcup actually produces
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches — including full day
- 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 DA15 needs one
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician, and we will say so before the DA15 visit rather than on the day
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, outside the fixed price on Sidcup bookings
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), quoted separately if you need it arranged in DA15
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, which we refer on to the right trade in Sidcup
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, handled by London Borough of Bexley 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 throughout; the high street is a red route with short bays. 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 DA15 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 46% of homes around Sidcup 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 DA15 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.

Questions
Sidcup DA15 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 DA15 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around DA15 we are fixing into cavity brickwork on the external walls, over timber stud partitions inside, which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so we use or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does, over a stud-located screw at 400mm centres, which is what a 46% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Sidcup actually produces. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
Usually yes. So boxes come in flat and get built in the room they belong in, over driveway or kerbside unloading — which is what a 46% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Sidcup actually produces. Driveways throughout; the high street is a red route with short bays. 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 Sidcup visit and go to a licensed transfer station — we are a registered waste carrier.
Short-shipped fixings rarely stop a build: the van carries dowels, cam locks, shelf pins and screws. If a panel itself is cracked we photograph it on the spot, record the article number for your replacement, and come back to Sidcup to finish the unit with no second labour charge.
We can strip out and remove what is already there before the new units go in. It is quoted as a line of its own, and disposal runs under our registered waste carrier licence with a transfer note on request. On Sidcup jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
