IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Eltham, SE9
We assemble in Eltham the way the stock demands: 1930s semis with drives, victorian villas and post-war estates, a narrow hall and a straight stair; locally that also means which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up — with 21% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Everything is levelled to the floor in the room, not the floor the instruction sheet assumes.

How it works
How a Eltham 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 Eltham quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for SE9We book the Royal Borough of Greenwich permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, a narrow hall and a straight stair; locally that also means which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up — with 21% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneEach unit is torqued, squared and load-tested, tall pieces are strapped using or a resin anchor where the brick is soft — and a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Scope
What is included in Eltham
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Eltham list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: or a resin anchor where the brick is soft — and a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, arranged with Royal Borough of Greenwich where the kerb needs it
- A stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall — including packaging removed
- Royal Borough of Greenwich permits or bay suspensions where SE9 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, which we refer on to the right trade in Eltham
- 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 SE9
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, outside the fixed price on Eltham bookings
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, which we refer on to the right trade in Eltham
The complete item list, anchoring matrix and scope policy sit on one page: assembly reference.
Why Hello Services
Why book assembly in Eltham with us
We scan before we drill
Cable and pipe detector on every wall, with Greenwich parking rules in play — and 27% of homes here being flats, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick in SE9 in Eltham, which spin out under load — where 64% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the callback nobody wants.
Packaging leaves with us
Flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping go in the van at the end of the Eltham visit around Eltham (Southeastern), with Greenwich parking rules in play.
Permits and access handled
Royal Borough of Greenwich permits, bay suspensions, concierge sign-in and goods-lift booking are arranged by us around Eltham (Southeastern), with 64% owner-occupation locally.

The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.
- Parking and permits
- Driveway parking on most streets; the high street has timed loading only. 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 SE9 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 27% of homes around Eltham 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 SE9 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
Eltham SE9 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 SE9 is £190 for a batched list.
Every unit designed to be restrained gets restrained. Because SE9 walls are typically solid London stock brick in SE9, sometimes with a later plasterboard lining over battens — a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, the fixing we carry is or a resin anchor where the brick is soft — and a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded — chosen on site after a cable and pipe scan, then load-tested in front of you.
Usually yes. A narrow hall and a straight stair; locally that also means which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up, and with 15% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. Driveway parking on most streets; the high street has timed loading only. Royal Borough of Greenwich permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit. Royal Borough of Greenwich rules apply where the kerb or a bay suspension is involved.
The packaging goes in the van at the end of the visit — cardboard, polystyrene, plastic wrap and offcuts — so your SE9 flat is usable the same evening. We are a registered waste carrier and can provide a transfer note.
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 Eltham to finish the unit with no second 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 Eltham landing.
