IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Lee, SE12
Around The Manor House and its gardens the stock gives us solid London stock brick in SE12, sometimes with a later plasterboard lining over battens, the reality on the streets around The Manor House and its gardens, which is why an identical wardrobe takes ninety minutes in one SE12 flat and half a day in the next. Most Lee lists start with a bed frame in SE12, a bookcase run and a dining set built in one visit, and with 22% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.

How it works
How a Lee 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 SE12 list and confirm one written figure, including the anchoring your walls need.
- Access sorted for SE12We book the London Borough of Lewisham permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, a narrow hall and a straight stair in SE12, which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up, the pattern behind 6,151 households inside the SE12 neighbourhood.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneWe build in the room, level to the floor you actually have, adjust every hinge and runner, anchor with or a resin anchor where the brick is soft, over a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, and leave with all the packaging.

Scope
What is included in Lee
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Lee list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Standard on Lewisham bookings: 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, a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, with 6,151 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- On SE12 jobs: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, hex key included
- In Lee: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, sized for the driveways on many streets; lee high road is a red route with short bays
- London Borough of Lewisham permits or bay suspensions where SE12 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 Lee bookings
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE12
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), handled by London Borough of Lewisham 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 SE12 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 SE12 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
- Driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays. 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 SE12 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 39% of homes around Lee 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 SE12 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.

Usually yes. Which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up — and a narrow hall and a straight stair — and with 22% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. Driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays. 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 Lee 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 Lee 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. Take-down of existing furniture is quoted alongside the build, and where the old unit is being disposed of we can take it away under our waste carrier licence rather than leaving it on the Lee landing.
