IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in New Malden, KT3
IKEA assembly in New Malden (KT3, Kingston upon Thames) is decided by two things — what is behind the plaster and how the boxes get in. Locally that means solid London stock brick; locally that also means sometimes with a later plasterboard lining over battens — and driveways on most streets; the high street has short loading bays, and which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up, over a narrow hall and a straight stair — where 67% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.

How it works
How a New Malden 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 New Malden, confirm the access route and put the whole figure in writing the same working day.
- Access sorted for KT3Access 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 — where 67% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, with the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames permit paid for by us.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneDust sheets down, every unit built and squared, doors and drawers adjusted, or a resin anchor where the brick is soft — and a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug — and with 24% one-person households in New Malden, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in New Malden
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your New Malden list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: or a resin anchor where the brick is soft — and a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug — and with 24% one-person households in New Malden, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site
- Standard on Kingston upon Thames bookings: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, allowing for the 27% of KT3 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 New Malden job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames permits or bay suspensions where KT3 needs one
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician, handled by Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames or a specialist contractor instead
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, which we refer on to the right trade in New Malden
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), quoted separately if you need it arranged in KT3
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, outside the fixed price on New Malden bookings
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, which we refer on to the right trade in New Malden
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
- Driveways on most streets; the high street has short loading bays. 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 KT3 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 30% of homes around New Malden 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 KT3 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.

Every unit designed to be restrained gets restrained. Because KT3 walls are typically solid London stock brick; locally that also means sometimes with a later plasterboard lining over battens — and driveways on most streets; the high street has short loading bays, the fixing we carry is or a resin anchor where the brick is soft — and a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug — and with 24% one-person households in New Malden, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site — chosen on site after a cable and pipe scan, then load-tested in front of you.
Usually yes. Which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up, over a narrow hall and a straight stair, the pattern behind 6,674 households inside the KT3 neighbourhood.

The packaging goes in the van at the end of the visit — cardboard, polystyrene, plastic wrap and offcuts — so your KT3 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 New Malden 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 KT3 hallway or communal bin store.
