IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in West Ealing and Northfields, W13
**Flat-pack assembly in West Ealing and Northfields**, W13: edwardian terraces and semis, garden-suburb cottages and small flat blocks, so the strap on a tall unit goes into lath and plaster over timber studs, with solid brick on the party walls. The order we see most here is an alcove-width wardrobe and a chest of drawers, both anchored back to something structural, and the callback we are asked to fix is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, which crumbles the key and lets a loaded wardrobe walk forward.
- From £35 an item, £190 a half day — priced per unit, fixed in writing
- lath and plaster over timber studs, with solid brick on the party walls here, so the anti-tip strap goes into something structural
- Communal stairs with a half-landing turn, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded
- London Borough of Ealing permits, ULEZ and packaging removal already inside the price

- Parking and permits
- Level-crossing delays, market-day loading limits and permit bays near the station. 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 W13 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 53% of homes around West Ealing and Northfields 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 W13 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.
Scope

Yes, and it is included. Around W13 we are fixing into lath and plaster over timber studs, with solid brick on the party walls, so we use a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud, never into the lime plaster itself. 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, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded. Level-crossing delays, market-day loading limits and permit bays near the station. London Borough of Ealing 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 Ealing and Northfields visit and go to a licensed transfer station — we are a registered waste carrier.
We carry dowels, cam locks, screws and common fittings, so most short-shipped packs are finished the same 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.
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 landing.
Most W13 bookings are fitted within two to four working days, and we hold same-day and evening slots for handover and tenancy-start dates. Send the item list and you have a fixed written price the same working day.
