IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in West Hampstead, NW6
We assemble in West Hampstead the way the stock demands: victorian and edwardian terraces split into flats, plus new blocks around the interchange, communal stairs with a half-landing turn; locally that also means so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded — the reality on the streets around West End Lane. Everything is levelled to the floor in the room, not the floor the instruction sheet assumes.

How it works
How a West Hampstead 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 West Hampstead, confirm the access route and put the whole figure in writing the same working day.
- Access sorted for NW6Access is arranged before the day: communal stairs with a half-landing turn; locally that also means so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded — the reality on the streets around West End Lane, with the London Borough of Camden permit paid for by us.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneDust sheets down, every unit built and squared, doors and drawers adjusted, a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud in West Hampstead, never into the lime plaster itself — and with 40% one-person households in West Hampstead, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in West Hampstead
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your West Hampstead list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud in West Hampstead, never into the lime plaster itself — and with 40% one-person households in West Hampstead, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site
- Standard on Camden bookings: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, allowing for the 49% of NW6 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- A stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, noted on the West Hampstead job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- London Borough of Camden permits or bay suspensions where NW6 needs one
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician, quoted separately if you need it arranged in NW6
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, outside the fixed price on West Hampstead bookings
- 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 NW6 visit rather than on the day
- 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, which we refer on to the right trade in West Hampstead
The complete item list, anchoring matrix and scope policy sit on one page: assembly reference.

Anchored, not just assembled
Every tall unit in West Hampstead is strapped using a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud in West Hampstead, never into the lime plaster itself — and with 40% one-person households in West Hampstead, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site — and load-tested before we leave on the streets near West End Lane — and this being a short walk from West Hampstead (Jubilee, Overground, Thameslink), with Camden parking rules in play.

The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.
- Parking and permits
- Very tight parking, narrow terraced streets and flats up two to four flights without lifts. 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 NW6 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 88% of homes around West Hampstead 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 NW6 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.

What holds an anti-tip strap in West Hampstead
Most likely here
West Hampstead gives us victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, and with 49% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does
- Wall construction
- lath and plaster over timber studs in NW6, with solid brick on the party walls — measured on the walk in from West Hampstead (Jubilee, Overground, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map
- The fixing we use
- a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud in West Hampstead, never into the lime plaster itself — and with 40% one-person households in West Hampstead, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site
- Access
- communal stairs with a half-landing turn; locally that also means so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded — the reality on the streets around West End Lane
West Hampstead (Jubilee, Overground, Thameslink) is the nearest station, and London Borough of Camden controls the kerb outside, so the permit is bought before the van leaves rather than argued about on arrival.

Questions
West Hampstead NW6 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 NW6 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around NW6 we are fixing into lath and plaster over timber studs in NW6, with solid brick on the party walls — measured on the walk in from West Hampstead (Jubilee, Overground, Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map, so we use a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud in West Hampstead, never into the lime plaster itself — and with 40% one-person households in West Hampstead, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
Usually yes. Communal stairs with a half-landing turn in NW6, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded, and with 40% one-person households in West Hampstead, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Very tight parking, narrow terraced streets and flats up two to four flights without lifts. 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 West Hampstead visit and go to a licensed transfer station — we are a registered waste carrier.
Most missing-part problems are solved from our own fixings stock while the fitter is still in the room. A damaged panel is different — we log it with photographs and the article number so your NW6 replacement is straightforward, then return to complete the build free of 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 West Hampstead landing.
