How it works
How a Harold Wood and Harold Hill 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 RM3 list and confirm one written figure, including the anchoring your walls need.
- Access sorted for RM3We 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.

Why Hello Services
Why book assembly in Harold Wood and Harold Hill with us
Anchored, not just assembled
Every tall unit in Harold Wood and Harold Hill is strapped using a stud-located screw at 400mm centres, or a spread-load anchor where no stud lands where the bracket does — and load-tested before we leave.
Priced per item, not per hour
Your RM3 list is quoted per unit in writing the same working day, with no doorstep re-quote.
We scan before we drill
Cable and pipe detector on every wall, because a two-hole restraint with one screw in a stud and one in fresh air is the callback nobody wants.
Packaging leaves with us
Flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping go in the van at the end of the Harold Wood and Harold Hill visit.
Rates and local costs
Hourly, half day or full day in Harold Wood and Harold Hill

£55
from, per item
One bookcase, chest of drawers, desk or bed frame built, levelled and anchored.

£55

Best when the boxes are unlabelled, second-hand or missing their instructions.
Half day
£190
up to 4 hours
The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.
Full day
£340
up to 8 hours
A whole flat-out: wardrobe system, beds, storage and the living room in a single day.
- Parking and permits
- Wide estate roads with easy parking, plus new blocks with booked lifts. 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 RM3 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 29% of homes around Harold Wood and Harold Hill 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 RM3 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 Harold Wood and Harold Hill
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Harold Wood and Harold Hill list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in

- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches

- London Borough of Havering permits or bay suspensions where RM3 needs one

Questions
Harold Wood and Harold Hill RM3 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 RM3 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around RM3 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. Wide estate roads with easy parking, plus new blocks with booked lifts. 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 Harold Wood and Harold Hill 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 RM3 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.
