Greenwich · SE2 · Flat-pack assembly
IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Abbey Wood, SE2
Two Abbey Wood flats on the same street can take a different amount of time for the same wardrobe, and the reason is the substrate: precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE2, often with surface-run conduit, with 36% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. We bring the fixings for it rather than trusting the bag in the box.

How it works
How a Abbey Wood 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 SE2 list and confirm one written figure, including the anchoring your walls need.
- Access sorted for SE2We book the Royal Borough of Greenwich permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, so we book a delivery window — and deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat, the pattern behind 6,046 households inside the SE2 neighbourhood.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneWe build in the room, level to the floor you actually have, adjust every hinge and runner, anchor with an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt; locally that also means set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, where 40% 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 Abbey Wood
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Abbey Wood list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt; locally that also means set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, where 40% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, allowing for the 24% of SE2 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On SE2 jobs: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, agreed on the doorstep in Abbey Wood before anything is unpacked
- In Abbey Wood: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, timed against the walk in from Abbey Wood (Elizabeth line)
- Royal Borough of Greenwich permits or bay suspensions where SE2 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 Royal Borough of Greenwich or a specialist contractor instead
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, and we will say so before the SE2 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 SE2
- 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 Abbey Wood
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, and we will say so before the SE2 visit rather than on the day
The complete item list, anchoring matrix and scope policy sit on one page: assembly reference.
Why Hello Services

Packaging leaves with us

Permits and access handled
Royal Borough of Greenwich permits, bay suspensions, concierge sign-in and goods-lift booking are arranged by us on the streets near Lesnes Abbey Woods, with 36% social-rented stock nearby.

The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.
- Parking and permits
- Steep streets towards the abbey, wide estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Royal Borough of Greenwich visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Greenwich sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a SE2 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 38% of homes around Abbey Wood 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 SE2 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.

6,046 households sit inside the ONS neighbourhood covering Abbey Wood, and 38% of them are flats — which is why so we book a delivery window — and deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat decides the slot length more often than the furniture does.

Questions
Abbey Wood SE2 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 SE2 is £190 for a batched list.
Every unit designed to be restrained gets restrained. Because SE2 walls are typically precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE2, often with surface-run conduit, with 36% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, the fixing we carry is an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt; locally that also means set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, where 40% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year — chosen on site after a cable and pipe scan, then load-tested in front of you.
Usually yes. So we book a delivery window, over deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat — and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. Steep streets towards the abbey, wide estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Royal Borough of Greenwich permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit. With 38% of homes in Abbey Wood being flats, we plan the route up front.
All of it. Flattened cardboard, polystyrene, plastic strapping and the offcuts leave with us at the end of the Abbey Wood 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 SE2 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 Abbey Wood landing.
