IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Canary Wharf, E14
A wardrobe is only as safe as its restraint. In Canary Wharf (Tower Hamlets) that restraint lands in dot-and-dab plasterboard over dense block in E14, with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why London Borough of Tower Hamlets kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded — get it wrong and a loaded unit walks forward on the carpet.

How it works
How a Canary Wharf assembly visit works
- Send the list, get a fixed pricePhotograph the delivery stack and the room it is going in. We size the slot for Canary Wharf, confirm the access route and put the whole figure in writing the same working day.
- Access sorted for E14We book the London Borough of Tower Hamlets permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, concierge sign-in in Canary Wharf, a booked goods lift and a loading-bay window, all arranged before the slot, a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneWe build in the room, level to the floor you actually have, adjust every hinge and runner, anchor with a long through-fixing past the void into the blockwork in E14, or a spread-load anchor on a metal stud, which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Canary Wharf actually produces, and leave with all the packaging.

Scope
What is included in Canary Wharf
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Canary Wharf list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: a long through-fixing past the void into the blockwork in E14, or a spread-load anchor on a metal stud, which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Canary Wharf actually produces
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, noted on the Canary Wharf job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Tower Hamlets bookings: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, allowing for the 59% of E14 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- London Borough of Tower Hamlets permits or bay suspensions where E14 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 E14 visit rather than on the day
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, outside the fixed price on Canary Wharf bookings
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), quoted separately if you need it arranged in E14
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, which we refer on to the right trade in Canary Wharf
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, handled by London Borough of Tower Hamlets or a specialist contractor instead
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
- Estate permits from Canary Wharf Management, booked goods lifts and loading docks below ground. 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 E14 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 98% of homes around Canary Wharf 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 E14 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
Canary Wharf E14 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 E14 is £190 for a batched list.
Anchoring is part of the price, never an add-on. In Canary Wharf the wall behind a wardrobe is normally dot-and-dab plasterboard over dense block in E14, with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why London Borough of Tower Hamlets kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fitter uses a long through-fixing past the void into the blockwork in E14, or a spread-load anchor on a metal stud, which is what a 98% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Canary Wharf actually produces. We scan for cables and pipework first and pull-test the finished restraint.
Usually yes. Concierge sign-in; locally that also means a booked goods lift and a loading-bay window, all arranged before the slot — the pattern behind 3,528 households inside the E14 neighbourhood. Estate permits from Canary Wharf Management, booked goods lifts and loading docks below ground. London Borough of Tower Hamlets 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 Canary Wharf 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 E14 replacement is straightforward, then return to complete the build free of 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 E14 hallway or communal bin store.
