Bromley · BR7 · Flat-pack assembly
IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Chislehurst, BR7
A wardrobe is only as safe as its restraint. In Chislehurst (Bromley) that restraint lands in cavity brickwork on the external walls — and timber stud partitions inside, and common-side lanes are narrow; most homes have long private drives — get it wrong and a loaded unit walks forward on the carpet.

How it works
How a Chislehurst 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 BR7 list and confirm one written figure, including the anchoring your walls need.
- Access sorted for BR7We book the London Borough of Bromley permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, driveway or kerbside unloading in BR7, so boxes come in flat and get built in the room they belong in, the pattern behind 9,685 households inside the BR7 neighbourhood.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneWe build in the room, level to the floor you actually have, adjust every hinge and runner, anchor with or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does, over a stud-located screw at 400mm centres, the reality on the streets around Chislehurst Caves and the commons, and leave with all the packaging.

Scope
What is included in Chislehurst
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Chislehurst 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, the reality on the streets around Chislehurst Caves and the commons
- On BR7 jobs: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, parking permit included
- In Chislehurst: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, sized for the common-side lanes are narrow; most homes have long private drives
- London Borough of Bromley permits or bay suspensions where BR7 needs one
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician, outside the fixed price on Chislehurst bookings
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, quoted separately if you need it arranged in BR7
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), handled by London Borough of Bromley 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 BR7 visit rather than on the day
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, quoted separately if you need it arranged in BR7
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
- Common-side lanes are narrow; most homes have long private drives. London Borough of Bromley visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Bromley sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a BR7 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 21% of homes around Chislehurst 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 BR7 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
Chislehurst BR7 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 BR7 is £190 for a batched list.
Anchoring is part of the price, never an add-on. In Chislehurst the wall behind a wardrobe is normally cavity brickwork on the external walls — and timber stud partitions inside, and common-side lanes are narrow; most homes have long private drives, so the fitter uses or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does, over a stud-located screw at 400mm centres, the reality on the streets around Chislehurst Caves and the commons. We scan for cables and pipework first and pull-test the finished restraint.
Usually yes. So boxes come in flat and get built in the room they belong in, over driveway or kerbside unloading — the reality on the streets around Chislehurst Caves and the commons. Common-side lanes are narrow; most homes have long private drives. London Borough of Bromley permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit.
Every scrap leaves with us: flattened cardboard, polystyrene corners, bags and strapping. Nothing is stacked in a Chislehurst hallway or communal bin store, and it all goes to a licensed transfer station under our waste carrier registration.
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 Chislehurst to finish the unit with no second labour charge.
In Chislehurst, 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. That covers fixed price on Chislehurst jobs too.
