IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Petts Wood, BR5
Flat-pack in Bromley is a fixings job as much as a building job. In BR5 the anchor goes into a stud-located screw at 400mm centres in BR5, or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does, the reality on the streets around The Willett Memorial Wood, and the fault we are called back to correct on other people's work is a two-hole restraint with one screw in a stud and one in fresh air, as the Petts Wood stock goes, and with 22% one-person households in Petts Wood, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.

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 in BR5, so boxes come in flat and get built in the room they belong in, and driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays.
- 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 in BR5, or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does, the reality on the streets around The Willett Memorial Wood, and leave with all the packaging.

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 in BR5, or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does, the reality on the streets around The Willett Memorial Wood
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, checked on every BR5 visit
- Standard on Bromley bookings: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, with 2,972 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- London Borough of Bromley permits or bay suspensions where BR5 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 BR5 visit rather than on the day
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, outside the fixed price on Petts Wood 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 BR5
- 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 Petts Wood
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, outside the fixed price on Petts Wood bookings
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
- 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.

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 cavity brickwork on the external walls, over timber stud partitions inside, the pattern behind 2,972 households inside the BR5 neighbourhood, so we use a stud-located screw at 400mm centres in BR5, or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does, the reality on the streets around The Willett Memorial Wood. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
In Petts Wood, usually yes. So boxes come in flat and get built in the room they belong in — and driveway or kerbside unloading — the reality on the streets around The Willett Memorial Wood. 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. Ask for it in writing before the BR5 visit and it is on the job sheet.
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 Petts Wood 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 Petts Wood landing.
