IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Sidcup, DA15
A wardrobe is only as safe as its restraint. In Sidcup (Bexley) that restraint lands in timber stud partitions inside, cavity brickwork on the external walls — get it wrong and a loaded unit walks forward on the carpet.
- From £35 an item, £190 a half day — priced per unit, fixed in writing
- timber stud partitions inside, cavity brickwork on the external walls here, so the anti-tip strap goes into something structural
- Driveway or kerbside unloading, so boxes come in flat and get built in the room they belong in
- London Borough of Bexley permits, ULEZ and packaging removal already inside the price

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, so boxes come in flat and get built in the room they belong in, 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 stud-located screw at 400mm centres, or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

8,640 households sit inside the ONS neighbourhood covering Sidcup, and 46% of them are flats — which is why driveway or kerbside unloading decides the slot length more often than the furniture does.
20% of homes around DA15 are privately rented, so a large share of our Sidcup bookings are move-in-week builds where the tenancy start date, not the weekend, sets the date.

Full day
£340

A whole flat-out: wardrobe system, beds, storage and the living room in a single day.
- 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.
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: a stud-located screw at 400mm centres, or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does
- 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 DA15 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
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 timber stud partitions inside, cavity brickwork on the external walls, so we use a stud-located screw at 400mm centres, or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
Usually yes. Driveway or kerbside unloading, so boxes come in flat and get built in the room they belong in. 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.
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 DA15 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.
