IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Kentish Town, NW5
Flat-pack in Camden is a fixings job as much as a building job. In NW5 the anchor goes into an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt in Kentish Town, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, where 26% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, and the fault we are called back to correct on other people's work is Kentish Town gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a cable behind it, with 49% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.

How it works
How a Kentish Town 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 Kentish Town, confirm the access route and put the whole figure in writing the same working day.
- Access sorted for NW5Seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access. 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 Kentish Town, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, where 26% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in Kentish Town
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Kentish Town 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 Kentish Town, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, where 26% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year
- On NW5 jobs: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, agreed on the doorstep in Kentish Town before anything is unpacked
- In Kentish Town: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, timed against the walk in from Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink)
- London Borough of Camden permits or bay suspensions where NW5 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 NW5 visit rather than on the day
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, outside the fixed price on Kentish Town bookings
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), which we refer on to the right trade in Kentish Town
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, handled by London Borough of Camden or a specialist contractor instead
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, outside the fixed price on Kentish Town 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
- Seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access. 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 NW5 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 86% of homes around Kentish Town 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 NW5 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
Kentish Town NW5 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 NW5 is £190 for a batched list.
Every unit designed to be restrained gets restrained. Because NW5 walls are typically precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Kentish Town, often with surface-run conduit, measured on the walk in from Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map, the fixing we carry is an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt in Kentish Town, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, where 26% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year — 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 Kentish Town, so we book a delivery window — which is what a 86% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kentish Town actually produces. Seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access. London Borough of Camden 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 Kentish Town visit and go to a licensed transfer station — we are a registered waste carrier.
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 Kentish Town 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 NW5 hallway or communal bin store.
