IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Camden
Furniture assembly in Camden runs to 16 areas. With 87% of homes in flats, most bookings are wardrobes, storage beds and shelving — and most of them need an anchor chosen for the substrate rather than the one in the box. Camden's CPZs run seven days in parts of Kentish Town and Camden Town; narrow Hampstead lanes rarely take anything bigger than a Luton.

How it works
How a Camden 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 Belsize Park, confirm the access route and put the whole figure in writing the same working day.
- Access sorted for NW3We book the London Borough of Camden permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, communal stairs with a half-landing turn in NW3, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded, and with 51% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneWe build in the room, level to the floor you actually have, adjust every hinge and runner, anchor with never into the lime plaster itself — and a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud, where 39% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, and leave with all the packaging.

Scope
What is included in Camden
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Belsize Park list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- In Belsize Park: anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: never into the lime plaster itself — and a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud, where 39% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, timed against the walk in from Belsize Park (Northern)
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, noted on the Belsize Park job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Camden bookings: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, allowing for the 51% of NW3 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- London Borough of Camden permits or bay suspensions where NW3 needs one
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician, which we refer on to the right trade in Belsize Park
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, handled by London Borough of Camden or a specialist contractor instead
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), and we will say so before the NW3 visit rather than on the day
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, outside the fixed price on Belsize Park bookings
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, handled by London Borough of Camden or a specialist contractor instead
The complete item list, anchoring matrix and scope policy sit on one page: assembly reference.
Why Hello Services
Why book assembly in Camden with us
Priced per item, not per hour
Your NW3 list is quoted per unit in writing the same working day, with Belsize Village a few streets away, with no doorstep re-quote across NW3.
We scan before we drill
Cable and pipe detector on every wall, with Belsize Village a few streets away — and 3,000 households on this patch, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in NW3 on the streets near Belsize Village, which crumbles the key and lets a loaded wardrobe walk forward, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the callback nobody wants.
Packaging leaves with us
Flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping go in the van at the end of the Belsize Park visit across NW3, with this being a short walk from Belsize Park (Northern).

The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.
- Parking and permits
- Resident-permit streets, hill gradients and conversion flats up three or four flights. London Borough of Camden visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Part of Camden sits inside the Congestion Charge zone and all of it is inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a NW3 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 93% of homes around Belsize Park 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 NW3 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.
Walls and anchoring
What holds an anti-tip strap in Camden
Most likely here
in NW3, Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions — the pattern behind 3,000 households inside the NW3 neighbourhood
- Wall construction
- lath and plaster over timber studs in Belsize Park, with solid brick on the party walls, and with 45% one-person households in Belsize Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site
- The fixing we use
- never into the lime plaster itself — and a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud, where 39% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year
- Access
- communal stairs with a half-landing turn in NW3, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded, and with 51% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does
45% of Belsize Park households are one-person, which is where single-visit builds — one wardrobe, one bed, one desk — outnumber whole-flat days.

Questions
Camden flat-pack assembly questions
Per item and identical in every Camden postcode: from £35 for a bookcase, £45 a chest of drawers, £55 a bed frame, £75 a hinged wardrobe and £120 per 100cm of a modular wardrobe run. Half day £190, full day £340.
All 16 areas, each with its own page covering the housing stock, the wall construction that comes with it and what a two-metre box has to get through to reach the room. Camden's CPZs run seven days in parts of Kentish Town and Camden Town; narrow Hampstead lanes rarely take anything bigger than a Luton.
Yes, on every item designed to be restrained. We scan for cable and pipe, then use the fixing the wall genuinely needs — a stud screw in lath, a through-fixing on dot-and-dab, resin in soft brick, a screwbolt in concrete — and load-test it before leaving.
Yes. Void turnarounds, furnished-let packs and student handovers are handled with photographs on completion, an itemised invoice per property and one contact for a portfolio. We can attend with keys from the agent.
Where a visitor permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange and pay for it with London Borough of Camden, and the cost is already inside your quote. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and the Congestion Charge is on us where it applies.
Yes — £1m public liability, DBS-checked fitters, and photographs of every anchored unit on completion. If a fixing we installed fails we come back and put it right.
