Hackney · N1 · Flat-pack assembly
IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Hoxton, N1
Around The Museum of the Home the stock gives us often with surface-run conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why London Borough of Hackney kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, which is why an identical wardrobe takes ninety minutes in one N1 flat and half a day in the next. Most Hoxton lists start with storage units and safety anchoring for a whole flat, over children's beds, the reality on the streets around The Museum of the Home.

How it works
How a Hoxton 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 Hoxton quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for N1Low-traffic filters on side streets, permit bays and loft stairs with tight turns. 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 N1, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in Hoxton
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Hoxton 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 N1, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, noted on the Hoxton job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Hackney bookings: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, allowing for the 33% of N1 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- London Borough of Hackney permits or bay suspensions where N1 needs one
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician, which we refer on to the right trade in Hoxton
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, handled by London Borough of Hackney or a specialist contractor instead
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), and we will say so before the N1 visit rather than on the day
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, outside the fixed price on Hoxton bookings
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, quoted separately if you need it arranged in N1
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
- Low-traffic filters on side streets, permit bays and loft stairs with tight turns. 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
- 96% of homes around Hoxton 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.

Questions
Hoxton 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 often with surface-run conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why London Borough of Hackney kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so we use an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt in N1, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. 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 in Hoxton, so we book a delivery window — a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Low-traffic filters on side streets, permit bays and loft stairs with tight turns. London Borough of Hackney 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 N1 flat is usable the same evening. We are a registered waste carrier and can provide a transfer note.
Most missing-part problems are solved from our own fixings stock while the fitter is still in the room. A damaged panel is different — we log it with photographs and the article number so your N1 replacement is straightforward, then return to complete the build free of charge.
Yes — dismantling the old wardrobe or bed is priced in the same written quote, and the parts leave with us for licensed disposal instead of stacking up in a N1 hallway or communal bin store.
