IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Kenton, HA3
**Flat-pack assembly in Kenton**, HA3: 1930s semis with driveways and garages, plus a few small flat blocks, so the strap on a tall unit goes into timber stud partitions inside, cavity brickwork on the external walls. The order we see most here is a full bedroom set, garden furniture and a home-office desk, and the callback we are asked to fix is a two-hole restraint with one screw in a stud and one in fresh air.
- From £35 an item, £190 a half day — priced per unit, fixed in writing
- timber stud partitions inside, cavity brickwork on the external walls here, so the anti-tip strap goes into something structural
- Driveway or kerbside unloading, so boxes come in flat and get built in the room they belong in
- London Borough of Harrow permits, ULEZ and packaging removal already inside the price

How it works
How a Kenton assembly visit works
- Send the list, get a fixed priceSend the item list or a photo of the boxes. We price each unit from the published HA3 list and confirm one written figure, including the anchoring your walls need.
- Access sorted for HA3We book the London Borough of Harrow permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, driveway or kerbside unloading, so boxes come in flat and get built in the room they belong in.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneWe build in the room, level to the floor you actually have, adjust every hinge and runner, anchor with a stud-located screw at 400mm centres, or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does, and leave with all the packaging.

The stock here is inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions inside and cavity brick outside, so the anti-tip strap goes into timber stud partitions inside, cavity brickwork on the external walls using a stud-located screw at 400mm centres, or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does.
Median age in the Kenton neighbourhood is 38.4, and the mix shows in the diary: a full bedroom set, garden furniture and a home-office desk.
16% of Kenton households are one-person, which is where single-visit builds — one wardrobe, one bed, one desk — outnumber whole-flat days.

Full day

- Parking and permits
- Easy — driveways and wide roads on almost every street. 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 HA3 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 16% of homes around Kenton 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 HA3 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 Kenton
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Kenton list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: a stud-located screw at 400mm centres, or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does
- 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 Harrow permits or bay suspensions where HA3 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
Kenton HA3 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 HA3 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around HA3 we are fixing into timber stud partitions inside, cavity brickwork on the external walls, so we use a stud-located screw at 400mm centres, or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
Usually yes. Driveway or kerbside unloading, so boxes come in flat and get built in the room they belong in. Easy — driveways and wide roads on almost every street. 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 Kenton 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 HA3 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.
