Merton · SW20 · Flat-pack assembly
IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Raynes Park, SW20
Around Cottenham Park the stock gives us with solid brick on the party walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, which is why London Borough of Merton kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, which is why an identical wardrobe takes ninety minutes in one SW20 flat and half a day in the next. Most Raynes Park lists start with an alcove-width wardrobe and a chest of drawers in Raynes Park, both anchored back to something structural, which is what a 51% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Raynes Park actually produces.

How it works
How a Raynes Park 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 Raynes Park quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for SW20Driveways on most roads; the level crossing and station parade congest at peak. We confirm the carry route for two-metre panels and reserve the kerb so the boxes move once.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneDust sheets down, every unit built and squared, doors and drawers adjusted, a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud; locally that also means never into the lime plaster itself, the reality on the streets around Cottenham Park, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in Raynes Park
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Raynes Park list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- In Raynes Park: anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud; locally that also means never into the lime plaster itself, the reality on the streets around Cottenham Park, the way it is done on Raynes Park jobs
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches — including solid brick
- Standard on Merton bookings: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, arranged with London Borough of Merton where the kerb needs it
- London Borough of Merton permits or bay suspensions where SW20 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 Raynes Park bookings
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW20
- 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 Raynes Park
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, handled by London Borough of Merton 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 SW20

The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.
- Parking and permits
- Driveways on most roads; the level crossing and station parade congest at peak. London Borough of Merton visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Merton sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a SW20 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 51% of homes around Raynes Park 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 SW20 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
Raynes Park SW20 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 SW20 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around SW20 we are fixing into with solid brick on the party walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs, which is why London Borough of Merton kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so we use a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud; locally that also means never into the lime plaster itself, the reality on the streets around Cottenham Park. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
In Raynes Park, usually yes. Communal stairs with a half-landing turn; locally that also means so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded — and with 35% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. Driveways on most roads; the level crossing and station parade congest at peak. London Borough of Merton permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit. Ask for it in writing before the SW20 visit and it is on the job sheet.
The packaging goes in the van at the end of the visit — cardboard, polystyrene, plastic wrap and offcuts — so your SW20 flat is usable the same evening. We are a registered waste carrier and can provide a transfer note.
We carry dowels, cam locks, screws and common fittings, so most short-shipped packs are finished the same Raynes Park 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 SW20 hallway or communal bin store.
