How it works
How a De Beauvoir Town 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 De Beauvoir Town quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for N1We book the London Borough of Hackney permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, concierge sign-in, a booked goods lift and a loading-bay window, all arranged before the slot.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneEach unit is torqued, squared and load-tested, tall pieces are strapped using a long through-fixing past the void into the blockwork, or a spread-load anchor on a metal stud, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Haggerston (Overground) is the nearest station, and London Borough of Hackney controls the kerb outside, so the permit is bought before the van leaves rather than argued about on arrival.
2,802 households sit inside the ONS neighbourhood covering De Beauvoir Town, and 83% of them are flats — which is why concierge sign-in decides the slot length more often than the furniture does.
52% of homes around N1 are privately rented, so a large share of our De Beauvoir Town bookings are move-in-week builds where the tenancy start date, not the weekend, sets the date.

Why Hello Services
Why book assembly in De Beauvoir Town with us
We scan before we drill
Cable and pipe detector on every wall, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever the sheet off its dabs is the callback nobody wants.
Packaging leaves with us
Flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping go in the van at the end of the De Beauvoir Town visit.
Permits and access handled
London Borough of Hackney 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.

- Parking and permits
- Conservation-area streets, LTN filters and villa basements with external steps. London Borough of Hackney visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Hackney sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a N1 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 83% of homes around De Beauvoir Town 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 N1 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 De Beauvoir Town
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your De Beauvoir Town list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: a long through-fixing past the void into the blockwork, or a spread-load anchor on a metal stud
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches
- A stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall
- London Borough of Hackney permits or bay suspensions where N1 needs one
- Flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping taken away in the van
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately)
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit
The complete item list, anchoring matrix and scope policy sit on one page: assembly reference.

Questions
De Beauvoir Town N1 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 N1 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around N1 we are fixing into dot-and-dab plasterboard over dense block, with metal stud partitions between rooms, so we use a long through-fixing past the void into the blockwork, or a spread-load anchor on a metal stud. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
Usually yes. Concierge sign-in, a booked goods lift and a loading-bay window, all arranged before the slot. Conservation-area streets, LTN filters and villa basements with external steps. London Borough of Hackney 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 De Beauvoir Town 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 N1 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.
