IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in White City, W12
**Flat-pack assembly in White City**, W12: new apartment blocks with concierge, the white city estate and student halls, so the strap on a tall unit goes into precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, often with surface-run conduit. The order we see most here is children's beds, storage units and safety anchoring for a whole flat, and the callback we are asked to fix is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a cable behind it.
- From £35 an item, £190 a half day — priced per unit, fixed in writing
- precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, often with surface-run conduit here, so the anti-tip strap goes into something structural
- Deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat, so we book a delivery window
- London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham permits, ULEZ and packaging removal already inside the price

How it works
How a White City 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 White City, confirm the access route and put the whole figure in writing the same working day.
- Access sorted for W12We book the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat, so we book a delivery window.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneWe build in the room, level to the floor you actually have, adjust every hinge and runner, anchor with an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, and leave with all the packaging.

2,536 households sit inside the ONS neighbourhood covering White City, and 86% of them are flats — which is why deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat decides the slot length more often than the furniture does.
17% of homes around W12 are privately rented, so a large share of our White City bookings are move-in-week builds where the tenancy start date, not the weekend, sets the date.
The stock here is council and housing-association blocks in precast concrete and dense block, so the anti-tip strap goes into precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, often with surface-run conduit using an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable.

Full day

- Parking and permits
- Estate loading docks with booked slots, campus access control and A40 red routes. London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Hammersmith and Fulham sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a W12 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 86% of homes around White City 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 W12 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 White City
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your White City 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, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable
- 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 Hammersmith and Fulham permits or bay suspensions where W12 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
White City W12 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 W12 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around W12 we are fixing into precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, often with surface-run conduit, so we use an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable. 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, so we book a delivery window. Estate loading docks with booked slots, campus access control and A40 red routes. London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham 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 White City 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 W12 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.
