IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Elm Park, RM12
Flat-pack assembly in Elm Park, RM12: 1930s semis with gardens and drives, plus post-war flats, so the strap on a tall unit goes into timber stud partitions inside in RM12, cavity brickwork on the external walls, a median age of 41 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. The order we see most here is garden furniture and a home-office desk, over a full bedroom set, and with 14% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, and the callback we are asked to fix is Elm Park gives us a two-hole restraint with one screw in a stud and one in fresh air, the pattern behind 6,250 households inside the RM12 neighbourhood.

How it works
How a Elm Park assembly visit works
- Send the list, get a fixed pricePhotograph the delivery stack and the room it is going in. We size the slot for Elm Park, confirm the access route and put the whole figure in writing the same working day.
- Access sorted for RM12Wide roads and driveways; the Broadway has short loading bays. 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 stud-located screw at 400mm centres in RM12, or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does, which is what a 17% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Elm Park actually produces, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Elm Park list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in

Not included — and why

The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.
- Parking and permits
- Wide roads and driveways; the Broadway has short loading bays. 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 RM12 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 17% of homes around Elm Park 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 RM12 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.
