IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Lewisham, SE13
In SE13 the job usually arrives as a delivery stack in the hall. So we book a delivery window — and deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat — which is what a 75% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Lewisham actually produces, so we plan the carry before the build.

How it works
How a Lewisham 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 Lewisham quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for SE13Access is arranged before the day: so we book a delivery window — and deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat — which is what a 75% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Lewisham actually produces, with the London Borough of Lewisham permit paid for by us.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneDust sheets down, every unit built and squared, doors and drawers adjusted, an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt; locally that also means set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable — and with 36% one-person households in Lewisham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in Lewisham
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Lewisham list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt; locally that also means set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable — and with 36% one-person households in Lewisham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site
- In Lewisham: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, the way it is done on Lewisham jobs
- On SE13 jobs: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, with 75% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- 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, and we will say so before the SE13 visit rather than on the day
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, handled by London Borough of Lewisham or a specialist contractor instead
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE13
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, outside the fixed price on Lewisham bookings
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, outside the fixed price on Lewisham bookings
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
- Roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers. 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
- 75% of homes around Lewisham 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.

Most likely here
Council and housing-association blocks in precast concrete and dense block, as the Lewisham stock goes, the reality on the streets around Lewisham Market on the High Street
- Wall construction
- often with surface-run conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here
- The fixing we use
- an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt; locally that also means set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable — and with 36% one-person households in Lewisham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site
- Access
- so we book a delivery window — and deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat — which is what a 75% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Lewisham actually produces
33% of homes around SE13 are privately rented, so a large share of our Lewisham bookings are move-in-week builds where the tenancy start date, not the weekend, sets the date.

Questions
Lewisham 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 often with surface-run conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, the fixing we carry is an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt; locally that also means set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable — and with 36% one-person households in Lewisham, 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. Deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat in SE13, so we book a delivery window, measured on the walk in from Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map. Roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers. London Borough of Lewisham permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit.
Every scrap leaves with us: flattened cardboard, polystyrene corners, bags and strapping. Nothing is stacked in a Lewisham hallway or communal bin store, and it all goes to a licensed transfer station under our waste carrier registration.
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 SE13 replacement is straightforward, then return to complete the build free of 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.
