How it works
How a North Kensington assembly visit works
- Send the list, get a fixed pricePhotograph the delivery stack and the room it is going in. We size the slot for North Kensington, confirm the access route and put the whole figure in writing the same working day.
- Access sorted for W10Access is arranged before the day: so we book a delivery window — and deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat — with 46% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea permit paid for by us.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneDust sheets down, every unit built and squared, doors and drawers adjusted, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable — and an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt — and with 39% one-person households in North Kensington, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in North Kensington
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your North Kensington list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable — and an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt — and with 39% one-person households in North Kensington, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site
- Standard on Kensington and Chelsea bookings: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, allowing for the 23% of W10 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 North Kensington job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea permits or bay suspensions where W10 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 North Kensington bookings
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, and we will say so before the W10 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 Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea 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 North Kensington
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, and we will say so before the W10 visit rather than on the day
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
- Westway underpasses, one-way estate roads and stair-only access in many blocks. Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Part of Kensington and Chelsea 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 W10 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 81% of homes around North Kensington 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 W10 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.

Yes, and it is included. Around W10 we are fixing into often with surface-run conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, so we use set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable — and an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt — and with 39% one-person households in North Kensington, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
Usually yes. Deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat; locally that also means so we book a delivery window, with 46% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Westway underpasses, one-way estate roads and stair-only access in many blocks. Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit. Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea rules apply where the kerb or a bay suspension is involved.
All of it. Flattened cardboard, polystyrene, plastic strapping and the offcuts leave with us at the end of the North Kensington visit and go to a licensed transfer station — we are a registered waste carrier.
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 W10 replacement is straightforward, then return to complete the build free of charge.
Yes — dismantling the old wardrobe or bed is priced in the same written quote, and the parts leave with us for licensed disposal instead of stacking up in a W10 hallway or communal bin store.
