IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Hounslow, TW3
A wardrobe is only as safe as its restraint. In Hounslow (Hounslow) that restraint lands in solid London stock brick, sometimes with a later plasterboard lining over battens — get it wrong and a loaded unit walks forward on the carpet.
- From £35 an item, £190 a half day — priced per unit, fixed in writing
- solid London stock brick, sometimes with a later plasterboard lining over battens here, so the anti-tip strap goes into something structural
- A narrow hall and a straight stair, which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up
- London Borough of Hounslow permits, ULEZ and packaging removal already inside the price

How it works
How a Hounslow assembly visit works

- Access sorted for TW3We book the London Borough of Hounslow permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, a narrow hall and a straight stair, which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneWe build in the room, level to the floor you actually have, adjust every hinge and runner, anchor with a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug, or a resin anchor where the brick is soft, and leave with all the packaging.

- Parking and permits
- Pedestrianised high street with timed access; new blocks need booked lifts. London Borough of Hounslow visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Hounslow sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a TW3 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 43% of homes around Hounslow 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 TW3 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 Hounslow
Included in every visit

- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug, or a resin anchor where the brick is soft
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches

- London Borough of Hounslow permits or bay suspensions where TW3 needs one

- 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
Hounslow TW3 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 TW3 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around TW3 we are fixing into solid London stock brick, sometimes with a later plasterboard lining over battens, so we use a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug, or a resin anchor where the brick is soft. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
Usually yes. A narrow hall and a straight stair, which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up. Pedestrianised high street with timed access; new blocks need booked lifts. London Borough of Hounslow 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 Hounslow 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 TW3 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.
