Haringey · N6 · Flat-pack assembly
IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Highgate, N6
Flat-pack in Haringey is a fixings job as much as a building job. In N6 the anchor goes into a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud in Highgate, never into the lime plaster itself, the reality on the streets around Highgate Cemetery, and the fault we are called back to correct on other people's work is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and lets a loaded wardrobe walk forward, where 51% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.

How it works
How a Highgate 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 Highgate quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for N6Steep, narrow lanes where a Luton is the practical limit, plus listed-building constraints. 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, a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud in Highgate, never into the lime plaster itself, the reality on the streets around Highgate Cemetery, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in Highgate
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Highgate list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud in Highgate, never into the lime plaster itself, the reality on the streets around Highgate Cemetery
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, checked on every N6 visit
- Standard on Haringey bookings: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, with 5,593 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- London Borough of Haringey permits or bay suspensions where N6 needs one
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician, and we will say so before the N6 visit rather than on the day
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, outside the fixed price on Highgate bookings
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), quoted separately if you need it arranged in N6
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, which we refer on to the right trade in Highgate
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, outside the fixed price on Highgate bookings
The complete item list, anchoring matrix and scope policy sit on one page: assembly reference.

We scan before we drill
Cable and pipe detector on every wall, with this being a short walk from Highgate (Northern), because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and lets a loaded wardrobe walk forward on this side of Haringey, where 51% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the callback nobody wants.
Packaging leaves with us
Flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping go in the van at the end of the Highgate visit in Highgate, with this being a short walk from Highgate (Northern).

The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.
- Parking and permits
- Steep, narrow lanes where a Luton is the practical limit, plus listed-building constraints. London Borough of Haringey visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Haringey sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a N6 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 65% of homes around Highgate 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 N6 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
Highgate N6 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 N6 is £190 for a batched list.
Anchoring is part of the price, never an add-on. In Highgate the wall behind a wardrobe is normally with solid brick on the party walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, which is why London Borough of Haringey kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fitter uses a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud in Highgate, never into the lime plaster itself, the reality on the streets around Highgate Cemetery. We scan for cables and pipework first and pull-test the finished restraint.
Usually yes. Communal stairs with a half-landing turn in Highgate, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded — where 51% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Steep, narrow lanes where a Luton is the practical limit, plus listed-building constraints. London Borough of Haringey 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 N6 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 Highgate 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 — 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 N6 hallway or communal bin store.
