Bromley · SE9 · Flat-pack assembly
IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Mottingham, SE9
Two Mottingham flats on the same street can take a different amount of time for the same wardrobe, and the reason is the substrate: often with surface-run conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why London Borough of Bromley 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 Mottingham 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 SE9 list and confirm one written figure, including the anchoring your walls need.
- Access sorted for SE9Access is arranged before the day: so we book a delivery window — and deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat, the pattern behind 3,789 households inside the SE9 neighbourhood, with the London Borough of Bromley permit paid for by us.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneEach unit is torqued, squared and load-tested, tall pieces are strapped using set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, over an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, which is what a 25% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Mottingham actually produces, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Scope
What is included in Mottingham
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Mottingham list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, over an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, which is what a 25% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Mottingham actually produces
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, noted on the Mottingham job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Bromley bookings: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, allowing for the 17% of SE9 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- London Borough of Bromley permits or bay suspensions where SE9 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 SE9 visit rather than on the day
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, outside the fixed price on Mottingham 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 SE9
- 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 Mottingham
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, outside the fixed price on Mottingham bookings
The complete item list, anchoring matrix and scope policy sit on one page: assembly reference.
Why Hello Services
Why book assembly in Mottingham with us
Priced per item, not per hour
Your SE9 list is quoted per unit in writing the same working day, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, with no doorstep re-quote in Mottingham.
We scan before we drill
Cable and pipe detector on every wall, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a cable behind it, as the Mottingham stock goes around Mottingham (Southeastern) — and 25% of homes here being flats, with 33% social-rented stock nearby, where 50% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the callback nobody wants.
Packaging leaves with us
Flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping go in the van at the end of the Mottingham visit in this 25% flats neighbourhood, with 3,789 households on this patch.

The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.
- Parking and permits
- Wide roads and driveways throughout, with easy turning for a Luton. 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 SE9 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 25% of homes around Mottingham 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 SE9 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.

IKEA and flat-pack assembly reviews from Greater London customers
4.5 ★ from 3,131 Trustpilot reviewsReally pleased with our house move. The guys came on time, loaded everything carefully like a huge jigsaw! Nothing got broken and even though they were working on an hourly rate they were really efficient, not to waste any time.

Sulltan and Adam were absolutely brilliant. They assembled some complicated IKEA items perfectly. They were really helpful and left assembly areas clean and tidy. I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Questions
Mottingham SE9 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 SE9 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around SE9 we are fixing into often with surface-run conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so we use set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, over an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, which is what a 25% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Mottingham actually produces. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
Usually yes. So we book a delivery window, over deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat — which is what a 25% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Mottingham actually produces. Wide roads and driveways throughout, with easy turning for a Luton. 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 Mottingham 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 Mottingham to finish the unit with no second 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 Mottingham landing.
