IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Camberwell, SE5
Around Camberwell Green and the South London Gallery the stock gives us precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface-run conduit, and with 34% one-person households in Camberwell, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, which is why an identical wardrobe takes ninety minutes in one SE5 flat and half a day in the next. Most Camberwell lists start with storage units and safety anchoring for a whole flat — and children's beds, the pattern behind 12,806 households inside the SE5 neighbourhood.

How it works
How a Camberwell 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 Camberwell quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for SE5Access is arranged before the day: deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat in SE5, so we book a delivery window, with 44% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, with the London Borough of Southwark permit paid for by us.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneEach unit is torqued, squared and load-tested, tall pieces are strapped using set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable — and an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, which is what a 83% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Camberwell actually produces, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Scope
What is included in Camberwell
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Camberwell list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable — and an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, which is what a 83% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Camberwell actually produces
- On SE5 jobs: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, with 83% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Camberwell: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, the way it is done on Camberwell jobs
- London Borough of Southwark permits or bay suspensions where SE5 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 Camberwell bookings
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE5
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), handled by London Borough of Southwark or a specialist contractor instead
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, and we will say so before the SE5 visit rather than on the day
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, and we will say so before the SE5 visit rather than on the day
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
- Hospital-area restrictions, narrow Georgian streets and steep front steps. London Borough of Southwark visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Part of Southwark sits inside the Congestion Charge zone and all of it is inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a SE5 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 83% of homes around Camberwell 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 SE5 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.

IKEA and flat-pack assembly reviews from Greater London customers

Nothing got broken and even though they were working on an hourly rate they were really efficient, not to waste any time.

The ONS neighbourhood covering it holds 12,806 households, 83% of them flats — the mix that fills our diary with wardrobe runs and storage beds rather than garden furniture.

Questions
Camberwell SE5 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 SE5 is £190 for a batched list.
Every unit designed to be restrained gets restrained. Because SE5 walls are typically precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface-run conduit, and with 34% one-person households in Camberwell, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, the fixing we carry is set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable — and an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, which is what a 83% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Camberwell actually produces — chosen on site after a cable and pipe scan, then load-tested in front of you.
Usually yes. Deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat; locally that also means so we book a delivery window — with 44% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Hospital-area restrictions, narrow Georgian streets and steep front steps. London Borough of Southwark permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit. On Camberwell jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
Every scrap leaves with us: flattened cardboard, polystyrene corners, bags and strapping. Nothing is stacked in a Camberwell hallway or communal bin store, and it all goes to a licensed transfer station under our waste carrier registration.
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 SE5 replacement is straightforward, then return to complete the build free of 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 Camberwell landing.
