IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Ealing
Furniture assembly in Ealing runs to 9 areas. With 50% 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. Mixed — driveways in Ealing and Greenford, but Acton and Southall have tight CPZs and busy narrow shopping streets.

How it works
How a Ealing assembly visit works
- Send the list, get a fixed priceSend the item list or a photo of the boxes. We price each unit from the published W3 list and confirm one written figure, including the anchoring your walls need.
- Access sorted for W3We book the London Borough of Ealing permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, communal stairs with a half-landing turn; locally that also means so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneWe build in the room, level to the floor you actually have, adjust every hinge and runner, anchor with a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud in W3, never into the lime plaster itself, where 37% 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 Ealing
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Acton 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 W3, never into the lime plaster itself, where 37% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year
- On W3 jobs: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, with 71% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Acton: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, the way it is done on Acton jobs
- London Borough of Ealing permits or bay suspensions where W3 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 Ealing or a specialist contractor instead
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, and we will say so before the W3 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 W3
- 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 Acton
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, and we will say so before the W3 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
- Narrow terraced streets with permit bays, plus new towers requiring booked lifts. London Borough of Ealing visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Ealing sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a W3 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 71% of homes around Acton 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 W3 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 Ealing
Most likely here
Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions on these streets — and with 33% one-person households in Acton, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site
- Wall construction
- with solid brick on the party walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, the pattern behind 20,052 households inside the W3 neighbourhood
- The fixing we use
- a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud in W3, never into the lime plaster itself, where 37% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year
- Access
- communal stairs with a half-landing turn; locally that also means so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here
33% of Acton households are one-person, which is where single-visit builds — one wardrobe, one bed, one desk — outnumber whole-flat days.

Questions
Ealing flat-pack assembly questions
Per item and identical in every Ealing 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 9 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. Mixed — driveways in Ealing and Greenford, but Acton and Southall have tight CPZs and busy narrow shopping streets.
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 Ealing, and the cost is already inside your quote. Our vans are ULEZ compliant.
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.
