IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Gidea Park, RM2
IKEA assembly in Gidea Park (RM2, Havering) is decided by two things — what is behind the plaster and how the boxes get in. Locally that means cavity brickwork on the external walls, over timber stud partitions inside — the reality on the streets around The Gidea Park Exhibition Estate, and driveway or kerbside unloading; locally that also means so boxes come in flat and get built in the room they belong in — the pattern behind 3,958 households inside the RM2 neighbourhood.

How it works
How a Gidea Park 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 Gidea Park quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for RM2We book the London Borough of Havering permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, driveway or kerbside unloading; locally that also means so boxes come in flat and get built in the room they belong in — the pattern behind 3,958 households inside the RM2 neighbourhood.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneEach unit is torqued, squared and load-tested, tall pieces are strapped using or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does, over a stud-located screw at 400mm centres — which is why London Borough of Havering kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Scope
What is included in Gidea Park
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Gidea Park list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does, over a stud-located screw at 400mm centres — which is why London Borough of Havering kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded
- Standard on Havering bookings: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, arranged with London Borough of Havering where the kerb needs it
- A stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall — including Gidea Park
- London Borough of Havering permits or bay suspensions where RM2 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 RM2 visit rather than on the day
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, handled by London Borough of Havering 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 Gidea Park
- 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 RM2
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, outside the fixed price on Gidea Park 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
- Long driveways, gated entrances and quiet wide roads — easy for any van. 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 RM2 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 37% of homes around Gidea 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 RM2 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.
