IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Cranham, RM14
In RM14 the job usually arrives as a delivery stack in the hall. Driveway or kerbside unloading, so boxes come in flat and get built in the room they belong in, so we plan the carry before the build.
- 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 Havering permits, ULEZ and packaging removal already inside the price

How it works
How a Cranham 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 RM14 list and confirm one written figure, including the anchoring your walls need.
- Access sorted for RM14We book the London Borough of Havering 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 goneEach unit is torqued, squared and load-tested, tall pieces are strapped using a stud-located screw at 400mm centres, or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Median age in the Cranham neighbourhood is 44.5, and the mix shows in the diary: a full bedroom set, garden furniture and a home-office desk.
25% of Cranham households are one-person, which is where single-visit builds — one wardrobe, one bed, one desk — outnumber whole-flat days.
Upminster (District, c2c) is the nearest station, and London Borough of Havering controls the kerb outside, so the permit is bought before the van leaves rather than argued about on arrival.

Permits and access handled

Missing parts do not stop us

DBS-checked and insured

- Parking and permits
- The easiest access in London — wide roads, drives and level thresholds. London Borough of Havering visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Havering sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a RM14 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 12% of homes around Cranham 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 RM14 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 Cranham
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Cranham 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 Havering permits or bay suspensions where RM14 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
Cranham RM14 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 RM14 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around RM14 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. The easiest access in London — wide roads, drives and level thresholds. London Borough of Havering 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 Cranham 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 RM14 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.
