IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Hanwell, W7
Two Hanwell flats on the same street can take a different amount of time for the same wardrobe, and the reason is the substrate: solid London stock brick; locally that also means sometimes with a later plasterboard lining over battens, measured on the walk in from Hanwell (Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map. We bring the fixings for it rather than trusting the bag in the box.

How it works
How a Hanwell assembly visit works
- Send the list, get a fixed priceTell us what is in the pile — model names, box counts or just a photo. Every Hanwell quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for W7Narrow bridges over the Brent, permit bays near the station and driveways elsewhere. 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, a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug in Hanwell, or a resin anchor where the brick is soft, which is what a 45% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Hanwell actually produces, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in Hanwell
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Hanwell list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug in Hanwell, or a resin anchor where the brick is soft, which is what a 45% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Hanwell actually produces
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, checked on every W7 visit
- Standard on Ealing bookings: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, with 3,219 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- London Borough of Ealing permits or bay suspensions where W7 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 Hanwell
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, handled by London Borough of Ealing 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 W7 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 Hanwell bookings
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, quoted separately if you need it arranged in W7
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 bridges over the Brent, permit bays near the station and driveways elsewhere. 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 W7 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 45% of homes around Hanwell 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 W7 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
Hanwell W7 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 W7 is £190 for a batched list.
Anchoring is part of the price, never an add-on. In Hanwell the wall behind a wardrobe is normally solid London stock brick; locally that also means sometimes with a later plasterboard lining over battens, measured on the walk in from Hanwell (Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map, so the fitter uses a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug in Hanwell, or a resin anchor where the brick is soft, which is what a 45% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Hanwell actually produces. We scan for cables and pipework first and pull-test the finished restraint.
Usually yes. A narrow hall and a straight stair in W7, which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up — where 55% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Narrow bridges over the Brent, permit bays near the station and driveways elsewhere. London Borough of Ealing permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit.
The packaging goes in the van at the end of the visit — cardboard, polystyrene, plastic wrap and offcuts — so your W7 flat is usable the same evening. We are a registered waste carrier and can provide a transfer note.
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 W7 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 Hanwell landing.
