Tower Hamlets · E2 · Flat-pack assembly
IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Bethnal Green, E2
Two Bethnal Green flats on the same street can take a different amount of time for the same wardrobe, and the reason is the substrate: often with surface-run conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why London Borough of Tower Hamlets kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. We bring the fixings for it rather than trusting the bag in the box.

How it works
How a Bethnal Green 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 Bethnal Green quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for E2Access is arranged before the day: so we book a delivery window — and deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat, and with 31% one-person households in Bethnal Green, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site, with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets 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, over an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Scope
What is included in Bethnal Green
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Bethnal Green list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Standard on Tower Hamlets bookings: anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, over an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, arranged with London Borough of Tower Hamlets where the kerb needs it
- On E2 jobs: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, with 88% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Bethnal Green: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, the way it is done on Bethnal Green jobs
- London Borough of Tower Hamlets permits or bay suspensions where E2 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 E2
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, which we refer on to the right trade in Bethnal Green
- 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 E2 visit rather than on the day
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, outside the fixed price on Bethnal Green bookings
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, outside the fixed price on Bethnal Green 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
- Sunday market closures, LTN filters and tower blocks with a single small lift. London Borough of Tower Hamlets visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Part of Tower Hamlets 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 E2 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 88% of homes around Bethnal Green 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 E2 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.

Quick assembly of a big gas bbq . Friendly service too

Questions
Bethnal Green E2 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 E2 is £190 for a batched list.
Anchoring is part of the price, never an add-on. In Bethnal Green the wall behind a wardrobe is normally often with surface-run conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, which is why London Borough of Tower Hamlets kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fitter uses set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, over an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here. We scan for cables and pipework first and pull-test the finished restraint.
Usually yes. So we book a delivery window — and deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat — and with 34% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. Sunday market closures, LTN filters and tower blocks with a single small lift. London Borough of Tower Hamlets permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit. On Bethnal Green 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 Bethnal Green hallway or communal bin store, and it all goes to a licensed transfer station under our waste carrier registration.
We carry dowels, cam locks, screws and common fittings, so most short-shipped packs are finished the same Bethnal Green 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. 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 Bethnal Green landing.
