IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Northolt, UB5
We assemble in Northolt the way the stock demands: post-war estate houses with gardens, 1930s semis and low-rise flats, communal stairs with a half-landing turn; locally that also means so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded — the pattern behind 9,850 households inside the UB5 neighbourhood. Everything is levelled to the floor in the room, not the floor the instruction sheet assumes.

How it works
How a Northolt 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 Northolt quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for UB5Access 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 pattern behind 9,850 households inside the UB5 neighbourhood, with the London Borough of Ealing 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; locally that also means never into the lime plaster itself — which is why London Borough of Ealing kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in Northolt
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Northolt 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; locally that also means never into the lime plaster itself — which is why London Borough of Ealing kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded
- In Northolt: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, timed against the walk in from Northolt (Central)
- On UB5 jobs: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, agreed on the doorstep in Northolt before anything is unpacked
- London Borough of Ealing permits or bay suspensions where UB5 needs one
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician, outside the fixed price on Northolt bookings
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, and we will say so before the UB5 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), which we refer on to the right trade in Northolt
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, quoted separately if you need it arranged in UB5
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, quoted separately if you need it arranged in UB5
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
- Wide estate roads, driveways and easy turning space throughout. 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 UB5 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 48% of homes around Northolt 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 UB5 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
Northolt UB5 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 UB5 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around UB5 we are fixing into with solid brick on the party walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — which is what a 48% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Northolt actually produces, so we use a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud; locally that also means never into the lime plaster itself — which is why London Borough of Ealing kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
Usually yes. So tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded, over communal stairs with a half-landing turn, measured on the walk in from Northolt (Central) rather than assumed from a map. Wide estate roads, driveways and easy turning space throughout. 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 UB5 flat is usable the same evening. We are a registered waste carrier and can provide a transfer note.
We carry dowels, cam locks, screws and common fittings, so most short-shipped packs are finished the same Northolt visit. Where a panel is damaged we photograph it, note the article number for your retailer claim, and return to finish at no extra labour charge.
We can strip out and remove what is already there before the new units go in. It is quoted as a line of its own, and disposal runs under our registered waste carrier licence with a transfer note on request. Near Northala Fields that usually means an earlier start so the van can be unloaded once.
