Scope
What is included in Hither Green
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Hither Green list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: or a spread-load anchor on a metal stud, over a long through-fixing past the void into the blockwork — and with 30% one-person households in Hither Green, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site
- In Hither Green: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, sized for the narrow terraced streets, level crossings and permit bays near the station
- On SE13 jobs: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, packaging taken away included
- London Borough of Lewisham permits or bay suspensions where SE13 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 Hither Green bookings
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, and we will say so before the SE13 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 Hither Green
- 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 SE13
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE13
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
- Narrow terraced streets, level crossings and permit bays near the station. London Borough of Lewisham visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Lewisham sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a SE13 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 64% of homes around Hither Green 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 SE13 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.

What holds an anti-tip strap in Hither Green
Most likely here
Post-2010 apartments lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, as the Hither Green stock goes, the reality on the streets around Manor House Gardens
- Wall construction

- The fixing we use
- or a spread-load anchor on a metal stud, over a long through-fixing past the void into the blockwork — and with 30% one-person households in Hither Green, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site
- Access
- a booked goods lift and a loading-bay window, all arranged before the slot — and concierge sign-in — and with 34% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does
Hither Green (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and London Borough of Lewisham controls the kerb outside, so the permit is bought before the van leaves rather than argued about on arrival.

Questions
Hither Green SE13 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 SE13 is £190 for a batched list.
Every unit designed to be restrained gets restrained. Because SE13 walls are typically with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over dense block — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, the fixing we carry is or a spread-load anchor on a metal stud, over a long through-fixing past the void into the blockwork — and with 30% one-person households in Hither Green, 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. Concierge sign-in in Hither Green, a booked goods lift and a loading-bay window, all arranged before the slot, measured on the walk in from Hither Green (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map. Narrow terraced streets, level crossings and permit bays near the station. London Borough of Lewisham permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit.
All of it. Flattened cardboard, polystyrene, plastic strapping and the offcuts leave with us at the end of the Hither Green visit and go to a licensed transfer station — we are a registered waste carrier.
We carry dowels, cam locks, screws and common fittings, so most short-shipped packs are finished the same Hither Green visit. Where a panel is damaged we photograph it, note the article number for your retailer claim, and return to finish at no extra 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 SE13 hallway or communal bin store.
