Hillingdon · UB3 · Flat-pack assembly
IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Hayes, UB3
We assemble in Hayes the way the stock demands: new apartment blocks on former factory sites, 1930s semis and terraces, a narrow hall and a straight stair in Hayes, which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up — a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Everything is levelled to the floor in the room, not the floor the instruction sheet assumes.

How it works
How a Hayes 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 UB3 list and confirm one written figure, including the anchoring your walls need.
- Access sorted for UB3New blocks need booked lifts and bays; older streets have driveways and canal bridges. We confirm the carry route for two-metre panels and reserve the kerb so the boxes move once.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneWe build in the room, level to the floor you actually have, adjust every hinge and runner, anchor with or a resin anchor where the brick is soft — and a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug — with 22% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, and leave with all the packaging.

Scope
What is included in Hayes
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Hayes list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- On UB3 jobs: anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: or a resin anchor where the brick is soft — and a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug — with 22% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, agreed on the doorstep in Hayes before anything is unpacked
- Standard on Hillingdon bookings: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, allowing for the 33% of UB3 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- A stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, noted on the Hayes job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- London Borough of Hillingdon permits or bay suspensions where UB3 needs one
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician, outside the fixed price on Hayes bookings
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, and we will say so before the UB3 visit rather than on the day
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), handled by London Borough of Hillingdon or a specialist contractor instead
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, which we refer on to the right trade in Hayes
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, and we will say so before the UB3 visit rather than on the day
The complete item list, anchoring matrix and scope policy sit on one page: assembly reference.
Why Hello Services
Why book assembly in Hayes with us
We scan before we drill
Cable and pipe detector on every wall, with 14,482 households on this patch — and 21% one-person households here, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick; locally that also means which spin out under load — where 45% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the callback nobody wants on UB3 jobs.
Packaging leaves with us
Flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping go in the van at the end of the Hayes visit in Hayes, with 33% of UB3 homes being privately rented.
Permits and access handled
London Borough of Hillingdon permits, bay suspensions, concierge sign-in and goods-lift booking are arranged by us in Hayes, with 22% social-rented stock nearby.

The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.
- Parking and permits
- New blocks need booked lifts and bays; older streets have driveways and canal bridges. London Borough of Hillingdon visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Hillingdon sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a UB3 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 34% of homes around Hayes 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 UB3 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.

Questions
Hayes UB3 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 UB3 is £190 for a batched list.
Anchoring is part of the price, never an add-on. In Hayes the wall behind a wardrobe is normally solid London stock brick in UB3, sometimes with a later plasterboard lining over battens — measured on the walk in from Hayes & Harlington (Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map, so the fitter uses or a resin anchor where the brick is soft — and a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug — with 22% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. We scan for cables and pipework first and pull-test the finished restraint.
Usually yes. A narrow hall and a straight stair in Hayes, which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up, which is what a 34% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Hayes actually produces. New blocks need booked lifts and bays; older streets have driveways and canal bridges. London Borough of Hillingdon permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit.
Every scrap leaves with us: flattened cardboard, polystyrene corners, bags and strapping. Nothing is stacked in a Hayes hallway or communal bin store, and it all goes to a licensed transfer station under our waste carrier registration.
Most missing-part problems are solved from our own fixings stock while the fitter is still in the room. A damaged panel is different — we log it with photographs and the article number so your UB3 replacement is straightforward, then return to complete the build free of charge.
For UB3 bookings, we can strip out and remove what is already there before the new units go in. It is quoted as a line of its own, and disposal runs under our registered waste carrier licence with a transfer note on request. It works the same way on every Hayes (UB3) booking.
