Greenwich · SE3 · Flat-pack assembly
IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Blackheath, SE3
In SE3 the job usually arrives as a delivery stack in the hall. Communal stairs with a half-landing turn; locally that also means so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded — the reality on the streets around Blackheath and the Paragon, so we plan the carry before the build.

How it works
How a Blackheath 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 Blackheath quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for SE3Access 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 reality on the streets around Blackheath and the Paragon, with the Royal Borough of Greenwich permit paid for by us.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneDust sheets down, every unit built and squared, doors and drawers adjusted, never into the lime plaster itself, over a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud — measured on the walk in from Blackheath (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in Blackheath
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Blackheath list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: never into the lime plaster itself, over a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud — measured on the walk in from Blackheath (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map
- In Blackheath: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, the way it is done on Blackheath jobs
- On SE3 jobs: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, with 64% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Royal Borough of Greenwich permits or bay suspensions where SE3 needs one
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE3
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, outside the fixed price on Blackheath bookings
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), handled by Royal Borough of Greenwich or a specialist contractor instead
- 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 Blackheath
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, which we refer on to the right trade in Blackheath
The complete item list, anchoring matrix and scope policy sit on one page: assembly reference.
Why Hello Services
Why book assembly in Blackheath with us
Permits and access handled
For SE3 bookings, royal Borough of Greenwich permits, bay suspensions, concierge sign-in and goods-lift booking are arranged by us on this side of Greenwich, with Greenwich parking rules in play. Around Blackheath (Southeastern) we allow for the parking and the walk-in before the slot is confirmed.
Missing parts do not stop us
Dowels, cam locks and common fittings are in the van on this side of Greenwich, with Blackheath and the Paragon a few streets away, so a short-shipped pack still finishes the same day.
DBS-checked and insured
£1m public liability and a fitter you would be happy to leave in the flat while you work in this 64% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood. Near Blackheath and the Paragon that usually means an earlier start so the van can be unloaded once.

The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.
- Parking and permits
- Conservation-area restrictions, narrow village streets and listed staircases. 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 SE3 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 64% of homes around Blackheath 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 SE3 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.

What holds an anti-tip strap in Blackheath
Most likely here
Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the Blackheath stock goes, a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here
- Wall construction
- lath and plaster over timber studs in Blackheath, with solid brick on the party walls — and with 32% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does
- The fixing we use
- never into the lime plaster itself, over a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud — measured on the walk in from Blackheath (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map
- Access
- communal stairs with a half-landing turn; locally that also means so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded — the reality on the streets around Blackheath and the Paragon
Blackheath (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and Royal Borough of Greenwich controls the kerb outside, so the permit is bought before the van leaves rather than argued about on arrival.

Questions
Blackheath SE3 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 SE3 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around SE3 we are fixing into lath and plaster over timber studs in Blackheath, with solid brick on the party walls — and with 32% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so we use never into the lime plaster itself, over a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud — measured on the walk in from Blackheath (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map. 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; locally that also means so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded, and with 36% one-person households in Blackheath, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Conservation-area restrictions, narrow village streets and listed staircases. Royal Borough of Greenwich permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit.
Every scrap leaves with us: flattened cardboard, polystyrene corners, bags and strapping. Nothing is stacked in a Blackheath hallway or communal bin store, and it all goes to a licensed transfer station under our waste carrier registration.
Short-shipped fixings rarely stop a build: the van carries dowels, cam locks, shelf pins and screws. If a panel itself is cracked we photograph it on the spot, record the article number for your replacement, and come back to Blackheath to finish the unit with no second 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 Blackheath and the Paragon that usually means an earlier start so the van can be unloaded once.
