Flat-pack and IKEA assembly in Tufnell Park

How it works
How a Tufnell 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 Tufnell Park quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for N7We book the London Borough of Islington permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, communal stairs with a half-landing turn; locally that also means so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded — the reality on the streets around Tufnell Park Tavern and Dartmouth Park Hill.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneEach unit is torqued, squared and load-tested, tall pieces are strapped using a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud in Tufnell Park, never into the lime plaster itself — and with 33% one-person households in Tufnell Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Scope
What is included in Tufnell Park
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Tufnell Park list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud in Tufnell Park, never into the lime plaster itself — and with 33% one-person households in Tufnell Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site
- Standard on Islington bookings: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, arranged with London Borough of Islington where the kerb needs it
- A stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall — including Tufnell Park flat-pack assembly
- London Borough of Islington permits or bay suspensions where N7 needs one
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician, which we refer on to the right trade in Tufnell Park
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, quoted separately if you need it arranged in N7
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), outside the fixed price on Tufnell Park bookings
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, and we will say so before the N7 visit rather than on the day
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, handled by London Borough of Islington or a specialist contractor instead
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
- Gradient on Dartmouth Park Hill, resident-permit bays and long internal staircases. London Borough of Islington visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Part of Islington sits inside the Congestion Charge zone and all of it is inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a N7 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 71% of homes around Tufnell 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 N7 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
Tufnell Park N7 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 N7 is £190 for a batched list.
Anchoring is part of the price, never an add-on. In Tufnell Park the wall behind a wardrobe is normally lath and plaster over timber studs in Tufnell Park, with solid brick on the party walls — measured on the walk in from Tufnell Park (Northern) rather than assumed from a map, so the fitter uses a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud in Tufnell Park, never into the lime plaster itself — and with 33% one-person households in Tufnell Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. We scan for cables and pipework first and pull-test the finished restraint.
Usually yes. So tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded — and communal stairs with a half-landing turn, measured on the walk in from Tufnell Park (Northern) rather than assumed from a map. Gradient on Dartmouth Park Hill, resident-permit bays and long internal staircases. London Borough of Islington permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit.
The packaging goes in the van at the end of the visit — cardboard, polystyrene, plastic wrap and offcuts — so your N7 flat is usable the same evening. We are a registered waste carrier and can provide a transfer note.
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 N7 replacement is straightforward, then return to complete the build free of charge.
For N7 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. Around Tufnell Park (Northern) we allow for the parking and the walk-in before the slot is confirmed.
