IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Wimbledon, SW19
**Flat-pack assembly in Wimbledon**, SW19: edwardian villas, victorian terraces, village cottages and town-centre flats, so the strap on a tall unit goes into lath and plaster over timber studs, with solid brick on the party walls. The order we see most here is an alcove-width wardrobe and a chest of drawers, both anchored back to something structural, and the callback we are asked to fix is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, which crumbles the key and lets a loaded wardrobe walk forward.
- From £35 an item, £190 a half day — priced per unit, fixed in writing
- lath and plaster over timber studs, with solid brick on the party walls here, so the anti-tip strap goes into something structural
- Communal stairs with a half-landing turn, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded
- London Borough of Merton permits, ULEZ and packaging removal already inside the price

How it works
How a Wimbledon 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 Wimbledon quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for SW19Championship-fortnight restrictions, steep Wimbledon Hill Road and Village conservation limits. 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, never into the lime plaster itself, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

What holds an anti-tip strap in Wimbledon
Most likely here
Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions
- Wall construction
- lath and plaster over timber studs, with solid brick on the party walls
- The fixing we use
- a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud, never into the lime plaster itself
- Access
- communal stairs with a half-landing turn, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded
23,023 households sit inside the ONS neighbourhood covering Wimbledon, and 47% of them are flats — which is why communal stairs with a half-landing turn decides the slot length more often than the furniture does.
34% of homes around SW19 are privately rented, so a large share of our Wimbledon bookings are move-in-week builds where the tenancy start date, not the weekend, sets the date.
The stock here is victorian and edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, so the anti-tip strap goes into lath and plaster over timber studs, with solid brick on the party walls using a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud, never into the lime plaster itself.

- Parking and permits
- Championship-fortnight restrictions, steep Wimbledon Hill Road and Village conservation limits. 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 SW19 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 47% of homes around Wimbledon 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 SW19 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.
Scope
What is included in Wimbledon
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Wimbledon list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud, never into the lime plaster itself
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches
- A stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall
- London Borough of Merton permits or bay suspensions where SW19 needs one
- Flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping taken away in the van
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician

- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately)
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt

Questions
Wimbledon SW19 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 SW19 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around SW19 we are fixing into lath and plaster over timber studs, with solid brick on the party walls, so we use a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud, never into the lime plaster itself. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
Usually yes. Communal stairs with a half-landing turn, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded. Championship-fortnight restrictions, steep Wimbledon Hill Road and Village conservation limits. London Borough of Merton 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 Wimbledon 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 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 landing.
Most SW19 bookings are fitted within two to four working days, and we hold same-day and evening slots for handover and tenancy-start dates. Send the item list and you have a fixed written price the same working day.
