IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Shoreditch, E1
A wardrobe is only as safe as its restraint. In Shoreditch (Hackney) that restraint lands in precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Shoreditch, often with surface-run conduit, and with 37% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does — get it wrong and a loaded unit walks forward on the carpet.

How it works
How a Shoreditch 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 Shoreditch quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for E1Night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts. 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, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable — and an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Shoreditch actually produces, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in Shoreditch
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Shoreditch list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable — and an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Shoreditch actually produces
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, checked on every E1 visit
- Standard on Hackney bookings: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, with 3,361 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- London Borough of Hackney permits or bay suspensions where E1 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 London Borough of Hackney or a specialist contractor instead
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, and we will say so before the E1 visit rather than on the day
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), outside the fixed price on Shoreditch bookings
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, quoted separately if you need it arranged in E1
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, which we refer on to the right trade in Shoreditch
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
- Night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts. 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 E1 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 98% of homes around Shoreditch 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 E1 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
Shoreditch E1 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 E1 is £190 for a batched list.
Every unit designed to be restrained gets restrained. Because E1 walls are typically precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Shoreditch, often with surface-run conduit, and with 37% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, the fixing we carry is set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable — and an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Shoreditch actually produces — chosen on site after a cable and pipe scan, then load-tested in front of you.
Usually yes. Deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat in E1, so we book a delivery window — which is why London Borough of Hackney kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts. 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 Shoreditch visit and go to a licensed transfer station — we are a registered waste carrier.
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 E1 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 E1 hallway or communal bin store.
