IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in East Dulwich, SE22
We assemble in East Dulwich the way the stock demands: victorian and edwardian terraces in family use or split into two flats, a narrow hall and a straight stair in SE22, which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up — and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. Everything is levelled to the floor in the room, not the floor the instruction sheet assumes.

How it works
How a East Dulwich assembly visit works
- Send the list, get a fixed priceSend the item list or a photo of the boxes. We price each unit from the published SE22 list and confirm one written figure, including the anchoring your walls need.
- Access sorted for SE22We book the London Borough of Southwark permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, a narrow hall and a straight stair in SE22, which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up — and with 25% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneEach unit is torqued, squared and load-tested, tall pieces are strapped using or a resin anchor where the brick is soft — and a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug — the pattern behind 3,337 households inside the SE22 neighbourhood, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Scope
What is included in East Dulwich
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your East Dulwich list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: or a resin anchor where the brick is soft — and a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug — the pattern behind 3,337 households inside the SE22 neighbourhood
- In East Dulwich: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, sized for the narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a luton
- On SE22 jobs: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, packaging removed included
- London Borough of Southwark permits or bay suspensions where SE22 needs one
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician, which we refer on to the right trade in East Dulwich
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE22
- 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 SE22 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 Southwark or a specialist contractor instead
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE22
The complete item list, anchoring matrix and scope policy sit on one page: assembly reference.
Why Hello Services
Why book assembly in East Dulwich with us
Anchored, not just assembled
Every tall unit in East Dulwich is strapped using or a resin anchor where the brick is soft — and a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug — the pattern behind 3,337 households inside the SE22 neighbourhood — and load-tested before we leave on the East Dulwich rounds, with 58% owner-occupation locally — and 25% of SE22 homes being privately rented.
Priced per item, not per hour
Your SE22 list is quoted per unit in writing the same working day, with 16% social-rented stock nearby, with no doorstep re-quote in this 43% flats neighbourhood.
We scan before we drill
Cable and pipe detector on every wall, with this being a short walk from East Dulwich (Thameslink) — and Dulwich Park a few streets away, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick in East Dulwich in this 43% flats neighbourhood, which spin out under load — with 16% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the callback nobody wants.

The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.
- Parking and permits
- Narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton. 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 SE22 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 43% of homes around East Dulwich 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 SE22 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
East Dulwich SE22 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 SE22 is £190 for a batched list.
Every unit designed to be restrained gets restrained. Because SE22 walls are typically solid London stock brick; locally that also means sometimes with a later plasterboard lining over battens — a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, the fixing we carry is or a resin anchor where the brick is soft — and a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug — the pattern behind 3,337 households inside the SE22 neighbourhood — chosen on site after a cable and pipe scan, then load-tested in front of you.
Usually yes. A narrow hall and a straight stair; locally that also means which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up, the pattern behind 3,337 households inside the SE22 neighbourhood. Narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton. London Borough of Southwark 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 SE22 flat is usable the same evening. We are a registered waste carrier and can provide a transfer note.
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 East Dulwich to finish the unit with no second 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 SE22 hallway or communal bin store.
