IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Petts Wood, BR5
A wardrobe is only as safe as its restraint. In Petts Wood (Bromley) 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 Bromley permits, ULEZ and packaging removal already inside the price

How it works
How a Petts Wood assembly visit works
- Send the list, get a fixed pricePhotograph the delivery stack and the room it is going in. We size the slot for Petts Wood, confirm the access route and put the whole figure in writing the same working day.
- Access sorted for BR5We book the London Borough of Bromley permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, driveway or kerbside unloading, so boxes come in flat and get built in the room they belong in.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneWe build in the room, level to the floor you actually have, adjust every hinge and runner, anchor with a stud-located screw at 400mm centres, or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does, and leave with all the packaging.

22% of Petts Wood households are one-person, which is where single-visit builds — one wardrobe, one bed, one desk — outnumber whole-flat days.
Petts Wood (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and London Borough of Bromley controls the kerb outside, so the permit is bought before the van leaves rather than argued about on arrival.
2,972 households sit inside the ONS neighbourhood covering Petts Wood, and 8% of them are flats — which is why driveway or kerbside unloading decides the slot length more often than the furniture does.

- Parking and permits
- Driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays. 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 BR5 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 8% of homes around Petts Wood 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 BR5 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 Petts Wood
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Petts Wood 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 Bromley permits or bay suspensions where BR5 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
Petts Wood BR5 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 BR5 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around BR5 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 parade has short timed loading bays. 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 Petts Wood 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 BR5 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.
