IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Kingston Vale and Coombe, KT2
A wardrobe is only as safe as its restraint. In Kingston Vale and Coombe (Kingston upon Thames) that restraint lands in solid London stock brick; locally that also means sometimes with a later plasterboard lining over battens, measured on the walk in from Norbiton (South Western), two miles south-west rather than assumed from a map — get it wrong and a loaded unit walks forward on the carpet.

How it works
How a Kingston Vale and Coombe 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 Kingston Vale and Coombe quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for KT2Access is arranged before the day: which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up, over a narrow hall and a straight stair, the reality on the streets around Richmond Park's Robin Hood Gate, with the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames permit paid for by us.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneEach unit is torqued, squared and load-tested, tall pieces are strapped using a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug; locally that also means or a resin anchor where the brick is soft, and with 20% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Scope
What is included in Kingston Vale and Coombe
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Kingston Vale and Coombe list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Standard on Kingston upon Thames bookings: anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug; locally that also means or a resin anchor where the brick is soft, and with 20% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, arranged with Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames where the kerb needs it
- On KT2 jobs: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, with 12% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Kingston Vale and Coombe: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, the way it is done on Kingston Vale and Coombe jobs
- Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames permits or bay suspensions where KT2 needs one
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician, and we will say so before the KT2 visit rather than on the day
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, outside the fixed price on Kingston Vale and Coombe bookings
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), which we refer on to the right trade in Kingston Vale and Coombe
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, handled by Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames or a specialist contractor instead
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, handled by Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames or a specialist contractor instead

The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.
- Parking and permits
- Private-estate gates and codes, long gravel drives and narrow park-edge lanes. Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Kingston upon Thames sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a KT2 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 12% of homes around Kingston Vale and Coombe 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 KT2 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
Kingston Vale and Coombe KT2 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 KT2 is £190 for a batched list.
Anchoring is part of the price, never an add-on. In Kingston Vale and Coombe the wall behind a wardrobe is normally solid London stock brick; locally that also means sometimes with a later plasterboard lining over battens, measured on the walk in from Norbiton (South Western), two miles south-west rather than assumed from a map, so the fitter uses a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug; locally that also means or a resin anchor where the brick is soft, and with 20% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. We scan for cables and pipework first and pull-test the finished restraint.
Usually yes. A narrow hall and a straight stair in KT2, which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up — which is what a 12% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Kingston Vale and Coombe actually produces. Private-estate gates and codes, long gravel drives and narrow park-edge lanes. Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames 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 KT2 flat is usable the same evening. We are a registered waste carrier and can provide a transfer note.
Short-shipped fixings rarely stop a build: the van carries dowels, cam locks, shelf pins and screws. If a panel itself is cracked we photograph it on the spot, record the article number for your replacement, and come back to Kingston Vale and Coombe to finish the unit with no second labour 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 KT2 hallway or communal bin store.
