Camden · WC1 · Flat-pack assembly
IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Holborn, WC1
Around Lincoln's Inn Fields the stock gives us often with surface-run conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, the pattern behind 3,090 households inside the WC1 neighbourhood, which is why an identical wardrobe takes ninety minutes in one WC1 flat and half a day in the next. Most Holborn lists start with storage units and safety anchoring for a whole flat — and children's beds, and with 30% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.

How it works
How a Holborn 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 Holborn, confirm the access route and put the whole figure in writing the same working day.
- Access sorted for WC1Inns of Court gate access, weekday loading windows and listed staircases. We confirm the carry route for two-metre panels and reserve the kerb so the boxes move once.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneDust sheets down, every unit built and squared, doors and drawers adjusted, an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt in Holborn, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in Holborn
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Holborn list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt in Holborn, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here
- On WC1 jobs: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, anti-tip restraint included
- In Holborn: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, sized for the inns of court gate access, weekday loading windows and listed staircases
- London Borough of Camden permits or bay suspensions where WC1 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 Camden or a specialist contractor instead
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, and we will say so before the WC1 visit rather than on the day
- 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 WC1
- 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 Holborn
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, which we refer on to the right trade in Holborn
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
- Inns of Court gate access, weekday loading windows and listed staircases. 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 WC1 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 95% of homes around Holborn 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 WC1 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
Holborn WC1 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 WC1 is £190 for a batched list.
Anchoring is part of the price, never an add-on. In Holborn the wall behind a wardrobe is normally often with surface-run conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, the pattern behind 3,090 households inside the WC1 neighbourhood, so the fitter uses an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt in Holborn, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. We scan for cables and pipework first and pull-test the finished restraint.
Usually yes. Deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat in Holborn, so we book a delivery window — with 51% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Inns of Court gate access, weekday loading windows and listed staircases. London Borough of Camden 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 Holborn hallway or communal bin store, and it all goes to a licensed transfer station under our waste carrier registration.
Short-shipped fixings rarely stop a build: the van carries dowels, cam locks, shelf pins and screws. If a panel itself is cracked we photograph it on the spot, record the article number for your replacement, and come back to Holborn to finish the unit with no second labour charge.
Yes — dismantling the old wardrobe or bed is priced in the same written quote, and the parts leave with us for licensed disposal instead of stacking up in a WC1 hallway or communal bin store.
