How it works
How a Willesden 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 NW10 list and confirm one written figure, including the anchoring your walls need.
- Access sorted for NW10Access 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 Brent permit paid for by us.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneEach unit is torqued, squared and load-tested, tall pieces are strapped using never into the lime plaster itself, over a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud, which is what a 76% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Willesden actually produces, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Scope
What is included in Willesden
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Willesden list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: never into the lime plaster itself, over a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud, which is what a 76% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Willesden actually produces
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, checked on every NW10 visit
- Standard on Brent bookings: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, with 3,705 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- London Borough of Brent permits or bay suspensions where NW10 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 NW10
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, which we refer on to the right trade in Willesden
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), handled by London Borough of Brent 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 NW10 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 Willesden
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
- High Road red route, permit bays on side streets and narrow rear accesses. London Borough of Brent visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Brent sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a NW10 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 76% of homes around Willesden 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 NW10 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
Willesden NW10 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 NW10 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around NW10 we are fixing into with solid brick on the party walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, and with 34% one-person households in Willesden, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, so we use never into the lime plaster itself, over a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud, which is what a 76% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Willesden actually produces. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
In Willesden, usually yes. So tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded, over communal stairs with a half-landing turn — where 31% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. High Road red route, permit bays on side streets and narrow rear accesses. London Borough of Brent permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit. Ask for it in writing before the NW10 visit and it is on the job sheet.
The packaging goes in the van at the end of the visit — cardboard, polystyrene, plastic wrap and offcuts — so your NW10 flat is usable the same evening. We are a registered waste carrier and can provide a transfer note.
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 NW10 replacement is straightforward, then return to complete the build free of 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. With 76% of homes in Willesden being flats, we plan the route up front.
