IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Herne Hill, SE24
Herne Hill lists tend to open with a bookcase run and a dining set built in one visit — and a bed frame — measured on the walk in from Herne Hill (Thameslink, Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map. Before any of it is built we check the route in — a narrow hall and a straight stair in SE24, which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up — where 69% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year — because a panel that will not turn on the landing changes the whole afternoon.

How it works
How a Herne Hill 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 SE24 list and confirm one written figure, including the anchoring your walls need.
- Access sorted for SE24Railway-bridge height limits on Half Moon Lane and permit-only side streets. We confirm the carry route for two-metre panels and reserve the kerb so the boxes move once.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneWe build in the room, level to the floor you actually have, adjust every hinge and runner, anchor with or a resin anchor where the brick is soft, over a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug — and railway-bridge height limits on half moon lane and permit-only side streets, and leave with all the packaging.

Scope
What is included in Herne Hill
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Herne Hill list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- On SE24 jobs: anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: or a resin anchor where the brick is soft, over a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug — and railway-bridge height limits on half moon lane and permit-only side streets, Herne Hill flat-pack assembly included
- Standard on Southwark bookings: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, with 3,150 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- A stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, checked on every SE24 visit
- London Borough of Southwark permits or bay suspensions where SE24 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 SE24 visit rather than on the day
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, handled by London Borough of Southwark or a specialist contractor instead
- 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 Herne Hill
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE24
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, outside the fixed price on Herne Hill 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
- Railway-bridge height limits on Half Moon Lane and permit-only side streets. 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 SE24 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 27% of homes around Herne Hill 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 SE24 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.

What holds an anti-tip strap in Herne Hill

Herne Hill (Thameslink, Southeastern) is the nearest station, and London Borough of Southwark controls the kerb outside, so the permit is bought before the van leaves rather than argued about on arrival.

Questions
Herne Hill SE24 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 SE24 is £190 for a batched list.
Every unit designed to be restrained gets restrained. Because SE24 walls are typically solid London stock brick in SE24, sometimes with a later plasterboard lining over battens — and with 19% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, the fixing we carry is or a resin anchor where the brick is soft, over a 7mm hole into the brick body with a nylon plug — and railway-bridge height limits on half moon lane and permit-only side streets — chosen on site after a cable and pipe scan, then load-tested in front of you.
Usually yes. Which decides whether a bed frame is built upstairs or carried up — and a narrow hall and a straight stair, the pattern behind 3,150 households inside the SE24 neighbourhood. Railway-bridge height limits on Half Moon Lane and permit-only side streets. London Borough of Southwark permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit.
Every scrap leaves with us: flattened cardboard, polystyrene corners, bags and strapping. Nothing is stacked in a Herne Hill hallway or communal bin store, and it all goes to a licensed transfer station under our waste carrier registration.
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 Herne Hill 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 SE24 hallway or communal bin store.
