Merton · SW19 · Flat-pack assembly
IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Wimbledon, SW19
Flat-pack in Merton is a fixings job as much as a building job. In SW19 the anchor goes into a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud in SW19, never into the lime plaster itself, and with 34% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, and the fault we are called back to correct on other people's work is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Wimbledon, which crumbles the key and lets a loaded wardrobe walk forward, and championship-fortnight restrictions, steep wimbledon hill road and village conservation limits.

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 in SW19, never into the lime plaster itself, and with 34% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

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 in SW19, never into the lime plaster itself, and with 34% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, noted on the Wimbledon job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Merton bookings: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, allowing for the 34% of SW19 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- London Borough of Merton permits or bay suspensions where SW19 needs one
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician, handled by London Borough of Merton or a specialist contractor instead
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, and we will say so before the SW19 visit rather than on the day
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), outside the fixed price on Wimbledon bookings
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW19
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, which we refer on to the right trade in Wimbledon
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
- 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.

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 in Wimbledon, with solid brick on the party walls, 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 in SW19, never into the lime plaster itself, and with 34% 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. Communal stairs with a half-landing turn in Wimbledon, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded — the reality on the streets around The All England Lawn Tennis Club. 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.
Every scrap leaves with us: flattened cardboard, polystyrene corners, bags and strapping. Nothing is stacked in a Wimbledon hallway or communal bin store, and it all goes to a licensed transfer station under our waste carrier registration.
Short-shipped fixings rarely stop a build: the van carries dowels, cam locks, shelf pins and screws. If a panel itself is cracked we photograph it on the spot, record the article number for your replacement, and come back to Wimbledon to finish the unit with no second 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. On Wimbledon jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
