How it works
How a Gipsy Hill assembly visit works
- Send the list, get a fixed priceSend the item list or a photo of the boxes. We price each unit from the published SE19 list and confirm one written figure, including the anchoring your walls need.
- Access sorted for SE19We book the London Borough of Lambeth permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat; locally that also means so we book a delivery window — where 38% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneEach unit is torqued, squared and load-tested, tall pieces are strapped using set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable — and an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt — the pattern behind 3,277 households inside the SE19 neighbourhood, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Scope
What is included in Gipsy Hill
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Gipsy Hill 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 — the pattern behind 3,277 households inside the SE19 neighbourhood
- In Gipsy Hill: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, sized for the some of the steepest gradients in south london, narrow parked-up streets and no off-street loading
- On SE19 jobs: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, hex key included
- London Borough of Lambeth permits or bay suspensions where SE19 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 Gipsy Hill bookings
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, and we will say so before the SE19 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), which we refer on to the right trade in Gipsy Hill
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE19
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, and we will say so before the SE19 visit rather than on the day
The complete item list, anchoring matrix and scope policy sit on one page: assembly reference.
Why Hello Services
Why book assembly in Gipsy Hill with us
Anchored, not just assembled
Every tall unit in Gipsy Hill is strapped using set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable — and an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt — the pattern behind 3,277 households inside the SE19 neighbourhood — and load-tested before we leave on Lambeth bookings — and Lambeth parking rules in play, with 26% of SE19 homes being privately rented.
Priced per item, not per hour
Your SE19 list is quoted per unit in writing the same working day, with this being a short walk from Gipsy Hill (Southern), with no doorstep re-quote on this side of Lambeth.
We scan before we drill
Cable and pipe detector on every wall, with this being London Borough of Lambeth territory — and 3,277 households on this patch, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a cable behind it on these streets — and with 32% one-person households in Gipsy Hill, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the callback nobody wants in this 63% flats neighbourhood.

The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.
- Parking and permits
- Some of the steepest gradients in south London, narrow parked-up streets and no off-street loading. London Borough of Lambeth visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Part of Lambeth 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 SE19 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 63% of homes around Gipsy 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 SE19 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.

Gipsy Hill (Southern) is the nearest station, and London Borough of Lambeth controls the kerb outside, so the permit is bought before the van leaves rather than argued about on arrival.

Quick assembly of a big gas bbq . Friendly service too
Sulltan and Adam were absolutely brilliant. They assembled some complicated IKEA items perfectly. They were really helpful and left assembly areas clean and tidy. I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Questions
Gipsy Hill SE19 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 SE19 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around SE19 we are fixing into precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SE19, often with surface-run conduit — with 35% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so we use set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable — and an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt — the pattern behind 3,277 households inside the SE19 neighbourhood. 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 in SE19, so we book a delivery window, the reality on the streets around Westow Park and the Crystal Palace ridge. Some of the steepest gradients in south London, narrow parked-up streets and no off-street loading. London Borough of Lambeth permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit.
Every scrap leaves with us: flattened cardboard, polystyrene corners, bags and strapping. Nothing is stacked in a Gipsy Hill hallway or communal bin store, and it all goes to a licensed transfer station under our waste carrier registration.
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 Gipsy Hill to finish the unit with no second labour charge.
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. London Borough of Lambeth rules apply where the kerb or a bay suspension is involved.
