IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Tulse Hill, SW2

How it works
How a Tulse Hill 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 Tulse Hill quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for SW2Access is arranged before the day: deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat; locally that also means so we book a delivery window, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, with the London Borough of Lambeth permit paid for by us.
- 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, where 25% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Scope
What is included in Tulse Hill
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Tulse Hill list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Standard on Lambeth bookings: anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable — and an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, where 25% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, allowing for the 19% of SW2 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On SW2 jobs: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, agreed on the doorstep in Tulse Hill before anything is unpacked
- In Tulse Hill: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, timed against the walk in from Tulse Hill (Thameslink)
- London Borough of Lambeth permits or bay suspensions where SW2 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 Tulse Hill bookings
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW2
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), handled by London Borough of Lambeth or a specialist contractor instead
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, and we will say so before the SW2 visit rather than on the day
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, and we will say so before the SW2 visit rather than on the day
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
- Steep gradients, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station. 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 SW2 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 80% of homes around Tulse 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 SW2 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
Tulse Hill SW2 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 SW2 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around SW2 we are fixing into precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in SW2, often with surface-run conduit, with 57% 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, where 25% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
Usually yes. So we book a delivery window, over deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat — with 57% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Steep gradients, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station. London Borough of Lambeth permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit. On Tulse Hill jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
The packaging goes in the van at the end of the visit — cardboard, polystyrene, plastic wrap and offcuts — so your SW2 flat is usable the same evening. We are a registered waste carrier and can provide a transfer note.
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 SW2 replacement is straightforward, then return to complete the build free of charge.
In Tulse Hill, 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. Ask for it in writing before the SW2 visit and it is on the job sheet.
