IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Woolwich, SE18
Two Woolwich flats on the same street can take a different amount of time for the same wardrobe, and the reason is the substrate: often with surface-run conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 47% 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.

Flat-pack and IKEA assembly in Woolwich

How it works
How a Woolwich assembly visit works
- Send the list, get a fixed pricePhotograph the delivery stack and the room it is going in. We size the slot for Woolwich, confirm the access route and put the whole figure in writing the same working day.
- Access sorted for SE18Royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers. We confirm the carry route for two-metre panels and reserve the kerb so the boxes move once.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneDust sheets down, every unit built and squared, doors and drawers adjusted, an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt in Woolwich, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, which is what a 63% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Woolwich actually produces, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in Woolwich
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Woolwich list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt in Woolwich, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, which is what a 63% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Woolwich actually produces
- On SE18 jobs: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, anchoring hardware included
- In Woolwich: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, sized for the royal arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers
- Royal Borough of Greenwich permits or bay suspensions where SE18 needs one
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician, outside the fixed price on Woolwich bookings
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE18
- 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, and we will say so before the SE18 visit rather than on the day
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, and we will say so before the SE18 visit rather than on the day
The complete item list, anchoring matrix and scope policy sit on one page: assembly reference.

The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.
- Parking and permits
- Royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers. 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 SE18 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 63% of homes around Woolwich 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 SE18 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.

Quick assembly of a big gas bbq . Friendly service too
Sulltan and Adam were absolutely brilliant. They assembled some complicated IKEA items perfectly. They were really helpful and left assembly areas clean and tidy. I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Questions
Woolwich SE18 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 SE18 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around SE18 we are fixing into often with surface-run conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 47% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so we use an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt in Woolwich, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, which is what a 63% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Woolwich actually produces. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
Usually yes. So we book a delivery window, over deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat — which is what a 63% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Woolwich actually produces. Royal Arsenal estate permits, town-centre one-way loading and booked lifts in the towers. Royal Borough of Greenwich permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit.
The packaging goes in the van at the end of the visit — cardboard, polystyrene, plastic wrap and offcuts — so your SE18 flat is usable the same evening. We are a registered waste carrier and can provide a transfer note.
We carry dowels, cam locks, screws and common fittings, so most short-shipped packs are finished the same Woolwich 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 Woolwich landing.
