IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Norbury, SW16
We assemble in Norbury the way the stock demands: edwardian terraces, 1930s semis with driveways and small flat conversions, a narrow hall and a straight stair in SW16, which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. Everything is levelled to the floor in the room, not the floor the instruction sheet assumes.

How it works
How a Norbury 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 Norbury quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for SW16Access is arranged before the day: a narrow hall and a straight stair in SW16, which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up — a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, with the London Borough of Lambeth 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, over a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug — with 18% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in Norbury
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Norbury 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, over a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug — with 18% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, noted on the Norbury job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- In Norbury: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, timed against the walk in from Norbury (Southern)
- On SW16 jobs: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, agreed on the doorstep in Norbury before anything is unpacked
- London Borough of Lambeth permits or bay suspensions where SW16 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 Norbury bookings
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, and we will say so before the SW16 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 Norbury
- 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 SW16
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW16
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
- A23 red route, side-road permit bays and railway-bridge height limits. 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 SW16 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 29% of homes around Norbury 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 SW16 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.

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 SW16 replacement is straightforward, then return to complete the build free of charge.
