How it works
How a St Mary Cray and Cray Valley assembly visit works
- Send the list, get a fixed priceTell us what is in the pile — model names, box counts or just a photo. Every St Mary Cray and Cray Valley quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for BR5We book the London Borough of Bromley permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat; locally that also means so we book a delivery window — which is what a 23% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering St Mary Cray and Cray Valley actually produces.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneEach unit is torqued, squared and load-tested, tall pieces are strapped using an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt; locally that also means set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable — with 32% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Scope
What is included in St Mary Cray and Cray Valley
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your St Mary Cray and Cray Valley list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- On BR5 jobs: anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt; locally that also means set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable — with 32% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, same-day slot included
- Standard on Bromley bookings: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, with 10,135 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- A stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, checked on every BR5 visit
- 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, handled by London Borough of Bromley or a specialist contractor instead
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, which we refer on to the right trade in St Mary Cray and Cray Valley
- 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, outside the fixed price on St Mary Cray and Cray Valley bookings
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, and we will say so before the BR5 visit rather than on the day
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
- Wide estate roads with kerbside parking and industrial-estate access nearby. 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
- 23% of homes around St Mary Cray and Cray Valley 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
St Mary Cray and Cray Valley 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.
Every unit designed to be restrained gets restrained. Because BR5 walls are typically precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in BR5, often with surface-run conduit — measured on the walk in from St Mary Cray (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map, the fixing we carry is an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt; locally that also means set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable — with 32% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first — chosen on site after a cable and pipe scan, then load-tested in front of you.
Usually yes. Deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat in BR5, so we book a delivery window, and with 13% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. Wide estate roads with kerbside parking and industrial-estate access nearby. 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 St Mary Cray and Cray Valley hallway or communal bin store, and it all goes to a licensed transfer station under our waste carrier registration.
We carry dowels, cam locks, screws and common fittings, so most short-shipped packs are finished the same St Mary Cray and Cray Valley 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 St Mary Cray and Cray Valley landing.
