IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Charlton, SE7
**IKEA assembly in Charlton** (SE7, Greenwich) is decided by two things — what is behind the plaster and how the boxes get in. Locally that means precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, often with surface-run conduit, and deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat, so we book a delivery window.
- From £35 an item, £190 a half day — priced per unit, fixed in writing
- precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, often with surface-run conduit here, so the anti-tip strap goes into something structural
- Deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat, so we book a delivery window
- Royal Borough of Greenwich permits, ULEZ and packaging removal already inside the price

How it works
How a Charlton 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 SE7 list and confirm one written figure, including the anchoring your walls need.
- Access sorted for SE7Match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads. We confirm the carry route for two-metre panels and reserve the kerb so the boxes move once.
- 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, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, and leave with all the packaging.

What holds an anti-tip strap in Charlton
Most likely here
Council and housing-association blocks in precast concrete and dense block
- Wall construction
- precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, often with surface-run conduit
- The fixing we use
- an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable
- Access
- deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat, so we book a delivery window
Charlton (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.
5,904 households sit inside the ONS neighbourhood covering Charlton, and 48% of them are flats — which is why deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat decides the slot length more often than the furniture does.
20% of homes around SE7 are privately rented, so a large share of our Charlton bookings are move-in-week builds where the tenancy start date, not the weekend, sets the date.

Why Hello Services
Why book assembly in Charlton with us
We scan before we drill
Cable and pipe detector on every wall, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a cable behind it is the callback nobody wants.
Packaging leaves with us
Flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping go in the van at the end of the Charlton visit.
Permits and access handled
Royal Borough of Greenwich permits, bay suspensions, concierge sign-in and goods-lift booking are arranged by us.
Missing parts do not stop us
Dowels, cam locks and common fittings are in the van, so a short-shipped pack still finishes the same day.
Rates and local costs
Hourly, half day or full day in Charlton
Single item
£55
from, per item
One bookcase, chest of drawers, desk or bed frame built, levelled and anchored.
Hourly rate
£55
per hour, one-hour minimum
Best when the boxes are unlabelled, second-hand or missing their instructions.
Half day
£190
up to 4 hours
The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.
Full day
£340
up to 8 hours
A whole flat-out: wardrobe system, beds, storage and the living room in a single day.
- Parking and permits
- Match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads. 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 SE7 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 48% of homes around Charlton 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 SE7 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
What is included in Charlton

Questions
Charlton SE7 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 SE7 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around SE7 we are fixing into precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, often with surface-run conduit, so we use an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
Usually yes. Deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat, so we book a delivery window. Match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads. Royal Borough of Greenwich 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 Charlton 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 SE7 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.
