How it works
How a Mortlake and East Sheen 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 Mortlake and East Sheen quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for SW14We book the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, communal stairs with a half-landing turn in Mortlake and East Sheen, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded — and with 32% one-person households in Mortlake and East Sheen, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneEach unit is torqued, squared and load-tested, tall pieces are strapped using a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud in SW14, never into the lime plaster itself — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Scope
What is included in Mortlake and East Sheen
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Mortlake and East Sheen 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 SW14, never into the lime plaster itself — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first
- Standard on Richmond upon Thames bookings: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, arranged with London Borough of Richmond upon Thames where the kerb needs it
- A stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall — including hex key
- London Borough of Richmond upon Thames permits or bay suspensions where SW14 needs one
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW14
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, outside the fixed price on Mortlake and East Sheen bookings
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), and we will say so before the SW14 visit rather than on the day
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, handled by London Borough of Richmond upon Thames or a specialist contractor instead
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, outside the fixed price on Mortlake and East Sheen 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
- Level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces. London Borough of Richmond upon Thames visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Richmond upon Thames sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a SW14 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 50% of homes around Mortlake and East Sheen 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 SW14 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
Mortlake and East Sheen SW14 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 SW14 is £190 for a batched list.
Anchoring is part of the price, never an add-on. In Mortlake and East Sheen the wall behind a wardrobe is normally lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party walls — the reality on the streets around The Boat Race finishing post, so the fitter uses a strap fixed through the plaster into a located timber stud in SW14, never into the lime plaster itself — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. We scan for cables and pipework first and pull-test the finished restraint.
Usually yes. Communal stairs with a half-landing turn in Mortlake and East Sheen, so tall wardrobe panels are measured before the van is loaded, measured on the walk in from Mortlake (South Western) rather than assumed from a map. Level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces. London Borough of Richmond upon Thames permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit.
The packaging goes in the van at the end of the visit — cardboard, polystyrene, plastic wrap and offcuts — so your SW14 flat is usable the same evening. We are a registered waste carrier and can provide a transfer note.
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 SW14 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 SW14 hallway or communal bin store.
