Kensington and Chelsea · W11 · Flat-pack assembly
IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Notting Hill, W11
In W11 the job usually arrives as a delivery stack in the hall. Communal stairs with a half-landing turn, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded, so we plan the carry before the build.
- From £35 an item, £190 a half day — priced per unit, fixed in writing
- lath and plaster over timber studs, with solid brick on the party walls here, so the anti-tip strap goes into something structural
- Communal stairs with a half-landing turn, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded
- Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea permits, ULEZ and packaging removal already inside the price

- Built, anchored, packaging goneDust sheets down, every unit built and squared, doors and drawers adjusted, a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud, never into the lime plaster itself, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

What holds an anti-tip strap in Notting Hill
Most likely here
Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions
- Wall construction
- lath and plaster over timber studs, with solid brick on the party walls
- The fixing we use
- a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud, never into the lime plaster itself
- Access
- communal stairs with a half-landing turn, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded
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.
The stock here is victorian and edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, so the anti-tip strap goes into lath and plaster over timber studs, with solid brick on the party walls using a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud, never into the lime plaster itself.
Median age in the Notting Hill neighbourhood is 39.3, and the mix shows in the diary: an alcove-width wardrobe and a chest of drawers, both anchored back to something structural.

Why Hello Services
Why book assembly in Notting Hill with us
DBS-checked and insured
£5m public liability and a fitter you would be happy to leave in the flat while you work.
Independent of every retailer
We build any brand's flat-pack, so the advice you get is about your furniture, not a shop's upsell.
Anchored, not just assembled
Every tall unit in Notting Hill is strapped using a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud, never into the lime plaster itself — and load-tested before we leave.
Priced per item, not per hour
Your W11 list is quoted per unit in writing the same working day, with no doorstep re-quote.

Full day
£340
up to 8 hours
A whole flat-out: wardrobe system, beds, storage and the living room in a single day.
- 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.
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: a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud, never into the lime plaster itself
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches
- A stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall
- Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea permits or bay suspensions where W11 needs one
- Flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping taken away in the van
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately)
- 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
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.
Yes, and it is included. Around W11 we are fixing into lath and plaster over timber studs, with solid brick on the party walls, so we use a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud, never into the lime plaster itself. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
Usually yes. Communal stairs with a half-landing turn, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded. 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.
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 W11 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.
