IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Harrow
Flat-pack and IKEA assembly across Harrow covers 10 areas, and the wall behind the plaster changes street by street. 35% of homes here are flats, so half the diary is conversion-flat lath and dot-and-dab board, and half is solid brick and timber stud. Every anti-tip strap goes into something structural, never into the board alone.

Furniture assembly across Harrow

How it works
How a Harrow 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 Burnt Oak quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for HA8We book the London Borough of Harrow permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, so we book a delivery window, over deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat — the pattern behind 4,210 households inside the HA8 neighbourhood.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneEach unit is torqued, squared and load-tested, tall pieces are strapped using set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, over an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt — measured on the walk in from Burnt Oak (Northern) rather than assumed from a map, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Scope
What is included in Harrow
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Burnt Oak 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, over an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt — measured on the walk in from Burnt Oak (Northern) rather than assumed from a map
- Standard on Harrow bookings: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, allowing for the 31% of HA8 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- A stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, noted on the Burnt Oak job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- London Borough of Harrow permits or bay suspensions where HA8 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 HA8 visit rather than on the day
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, handled by London Borough of Harrow or a specialist contractor instead
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), which we refer on to the right trade in Burnt Oak
- 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 HA8
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, outside the fixed price on Burnt Oak bookings
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
- Wide estate roads with parking; the A5 shopping stretch has short loading windows. London Borough of Harrow visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Harrow sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a HA8 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 42% of homes around Burnt Oak 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 HA8 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.
Walls and anchoring
What holds an anti-tip strap in Harrow
Most likely here
Burnt Oak gives us council and housing-association blocks in precast concrete and dense block, where 37% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year
- Wall construction
- precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Burnt Oak, often with surface-run conduit — which is what a 42% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Burnt Oak actually produces
- The fixing we use
- set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, over an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt — measured on the walk in from Burnt Oak (Northern) rather than assumed from a map
- Access
- so we book a delivery window, over deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat — the pattern behind 4,210 households inside the HA8 neighbourhood
31% of homes around HA8 are privately rented, so a large share of our Burnt Oak bookings are move-in-week builds where the tenancy start date, not the weekend, sets the date.

IKEA and flat-pack assembly reviews from Greater London customers
4.5 ★ from 3,131 Trustpilot reviewsReally pleased with our house move. The guys came on time, loaded everything carefully like a huge jigsaw! Nothing got broken and even though they were working on an hourly rate they were really efficient, not to waste any time.

Questions
Harrow flat-pack assembly questions
Per item and identical in every Harrow postcode: from £35 for a bookcase, £45 a chest of drawers, £55 a bed frame, £75 a hinged wardrobe and £120 per 100cm of a modular wardrobe run. Half day £190, full day £340.
All 10 areas, each with its own page covering the housing stock, the wall construction that comes with it and what a two-metre box has to get through to reach the room. Driveway parking is the norm; the hill roads are narrow and Harrow town centre has controlled bays and a one-way system.
Yes, on every item designed to be restrained. We scan for cable and pipe, then use the fixing the wall genuinely needs — a stud screw in lath, a through-fixing on dot-and-dab, resin in soft brick, a screwbolt in concrete — and load-test it before leaving.
Yes. Void turnarounds, furnished-let packs and student handovers are handled with photographs on completion, an itemised invoice per property and one contact for a portfolio. We can attend with keys from the agent.
Where a visitor permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange and pay for it with London Borough of Harrow, and the cost is already inside your quote. Our vans are ULEZ compliant.
Yes — £1m public liability, DBS-checked fitters, and photographs of every anchored unit on completion. If a fixing we installed fails we come back and put it right.
