London flat-pack assembly prices, rates and scope

Labour rates

• Single item

  £55

  One bookcase, chest of drawers, desk or bed frame built, levelled and anchored.

• Hourly rate

  £55

  Best when the boxes are unlabelled, second-hand or missing their instructions.

• Half day

  £190

  The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.

• Full day

  £340

  A whole flat-out: wardrobe system, beds, storage and the living room in a single day.

Minimum charge £55. Prices include VAT, the van, all anchoring hardware from our own stock and taking the flattened cardboard and polystyrene away. Nothing is added on the day without your written agreement first.
