IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Notting Hill, W11
IKEA assembly in Notting Hill (W11, Kensington and Chelsea) is decided by two things — what is behind the plaster and how the boxes get in. Locally that means lath and plaster over timber studs in Notting Hill, with solid brick on the party walls — which is what a 75% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Notting Hill actually produces, and communal stairs with a half-landing turn in W11, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded — the pattern behind 9,720 households inside the W11 neighbourhood.

How it works
How a Notting Hill 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 Notting Hill, confirm the access route and put the whole figure in writing the same working day.
- Access sorted for W11Access is arranged before the day: communal stairs with a half-landing turn in W11, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded — the pattern behind 9,720 households inside the W11 neighbourhood, 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, never into the lime plaster itself — and a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud — and with 44% one-person households in Notting Hill, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in Notting Hill
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Notting Hill list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: never into the lime plaster itself — and a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud — and with 44% one-person households in Notting Hill, 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 43% of W11 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 Notting Hill job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea permits or bay suspensions where W11 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 Notting Hill
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, quoted separately if you need it arranged in W11
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), outside the fixed price on Notting Hill 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 W11 visit rather than on the day
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, handled by Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea 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
- Carnival weekend closures, resident bays all week and communal gardens with no vehicle access. 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 W11 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 75% of homes around Notting 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 W11 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.

- The fixing we use
- never into the lime plaster itself — and a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud — and with 44% one-person households in Notting Hill, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site
- Access
- communal stairs with a half-landing turn in W11, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded — the pattern behind 9,720 households inside the W11 neighbourhood
43% of homes around W11 are privately rented, so a large share of our Notting Hill bookings are move-in-week builds where the tenancy start date, not the weekend, sets the date.

Questions
Notting Hill W11 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 W11 is £190 for a batched list.
Anchoring is part of the price, never an add-on. In Notting Hill the wall behind a wardrobe is normally lath and plaster over timber studs in Notting Hill, with solid brick on the party walls — which is what a 75% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Notting Hill actually produces, so the fitter uses never into the lime plaster itself — and a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud — and with 44% one-person households in Notting Hill, 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. Communal stairs with a half-landing turn in W11, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded, and with 44% one-person households in Notting Hill, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Carnival weekend closures, resident bays all week and communal gardens with no vehicle access. Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea 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 Notting Hill 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 W11 replacement is straightforward, then return to complete the build free of charge.
For W11 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 Notting Hill Gate (Central, Circle, District) we allow for the parking and the walk-in before the slot is confirmed.
