IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Honor Oak, SE23
Around One Tree Hill the stock gives us lath and plaster over timber studs in SE23, with solid brick on the party walls, the pattern behind 3,683 households inside the SE23 neighbourhood, which is why an identical wardrobe takes ninety minutes in one SE23 flat and half a day in the next. Most Honor Oak lists start with both anchored back to something structural — and an alcove-width wardrobe and a chest of drawers, a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.

Scope
What is included in Honor Oak
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Honor Oak list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- In Honor Oak: anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: never into the lime plaster itself, over a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud, and with 27% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, timed against the walk in from Honor Oak Park (Overground)
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, noted on the Honor Oak job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, allowing for the 27% of SE23 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- London Borough of Lewisham permits or bay suspensions where SE23 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 Honor Oak bookings
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE23
- 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 Honor Oak
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, handled by London Borough of Lewisham or a specialist contractor instead
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE23

The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.
- Parking and permits
- Very steep streets, narrow railway bridges 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 SE23 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 54% of homes around Honor Oak 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 SE23 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.

Honor Oak SE23 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 SE23 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around SE23 we are fixing into lath and plaster over timber studs in SE23, with solid brick on the party walls, the pattern behind 3,683 households inside the SE23 neighbourhood, so we use never into the lime plaster itself, over a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud, and with 27% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
Usually yes. So tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded, over communal stairs with a half-landing turn — which is what a 54% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Honor Oak actually produces. Very steep streets, narrow railway bridges 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 Honor Oak 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 Honor Oak 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.
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. With 54% of homes in Honor Oak being flats, we plan the route up front.
