Southwark · SE16 · Flat-pack assembly
IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Canada Water, SE16
Around Canada Water Library the stock gives us precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface-run conduit, the pattern behind 4,483 households inside the SE16 neighbourhood, which is why an identical wardrobe takes ninety minutes in one SE16 flat and half a day in the next. Most Canada Water lists start with children's beds; locally that also means storage units and safety anchoring for a whole flat, a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.

How it works
How a Canada Water 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 Canada Water quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for SE16Access is arranged before the day: deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat in SE16, so we book a delivery window, with 47% 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 an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt; locally that also means set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Scope
What is included in Canada Water
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Canada Water list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Standard on Southwark bookings: anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt; locally that also means set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, allowing for the 33% of SE16 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On SE16 jobs: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, agreed on the doorstep in Canada Water before anything is unpacked
- In Canada Water: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, timed against the walk in from Canada Water (Jubilee, Overground)
- London Borough of Southwark permits or bay suspensions where SE16 needs one
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician, and we will say so before the SE16 visit rather than on the day
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, outside the fixed price on Canada Water bookings
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), which we refer on to the right trade in Canada Water
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, handled by London Borough of Southwark or a specialist contractor instead
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, outside the fixed price on Canada Water 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
- Construction diversions, estate loading bays and mandatory lift booking in new blocks. 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 SE16 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 90% of homes around Canada Water 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 SE16 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
Canada Water SE16 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 SE16 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around SE16 we are fixing into precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface-run conduit, the pattern behind 4,483 households inside the SE16 neighbourhood, so we use an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt; locally that also means set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, and with 33% 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. So we book a delivery window — and deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat — where 20% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Construction diversions, estate loading bays and mandatory lift booking in new blocks. London Borough of Southwark permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit. With 90% of homes in Canada Water being flats, we plan the route up front.
All of it. Flattened cardboard, polystyrene, plastic strapping and the offcuts leave with us at the end of the Canada Water 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 Canada Water 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 — 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 SE16 hallway or communal bin store.
