How it works
How a Burnt Oak 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, deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat, so we book a delivery window.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneEach unit is torqued, squared and load-tested, tall pieces are strapped using an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Median age in the Burnt Oak neighbourhood is 34.7, and the mix shows in the diary: children's beds, storage units and safety anchoring for a whole flat.

- 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.
Scope
What is included in Burnt Oak
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: an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable

- London Borough of Harrow permits or bay suspensions where HA8 needs one

The complete item list, anchoring matrix and scope policy sit on one page: assembly reference.

Questions
Burnt Oak HA8 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 HA8 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around HA8 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. Wide estate roads with parking; the A5 shopping stretch has short loading windows. London Borough of Harrow 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 Burnt Oak 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 HA8 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.
