IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Mottingham, SE9
Around Mottingham Village and Fairmount recreation ground the stock gives us precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, often with surface-run conduit, which is why an identical wardrobe takes ninety minutes in one SE9 flat and half a day in the next. Most Mottingham lists start with children's beds, storage units and safety anchoring for a whole flat.
- From £35 an item, £190 a half day — priced per unit, fixed in writing
- precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, often with surface-run conduit here, so the anti-tip strap goes into something structural
- Deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat, so we book a delivery window
- London Borough of Bromley permits, ULEZ and packaging removal already inside the price

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: deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat, so we book a delivery window, 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 an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

- 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.
Scope
What is included in Mottingham
Included in every visit

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 precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, often with surface-run conduit, so we use an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
Usually yes. Deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat, so we book a delivery window. 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.
All of it. Flattened cardboard, polystyrene, plastic strapping and the offcuts leave with us at the end of the Mottingham 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 SE9 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.
