IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Isle of Dogs, E14
Around Island Gardens and the Greenwich foot tunnel the stock gives us with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over dense block, measured on the walk in from Crossharbour (DLR) rather than assumed from a map, which is why an identical wardrobe takes ninety minutes in one E14 flat and half a day in the next. Most Isle of Dogs lists start with a modular wardrobe run and a sofa on handover day in Isle of Dogs, built the same week the keys land, a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.

How it works
How a Isle of Dogs 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 Isle of Dogs, confirm the access route and put the whole figure in writing the same working day.
- Access sorted for E14Single access roads onto the island, dock-side loading bays and lift booking in every block. We confirm the carry route for two-metre panels and reserve the kerb so the boxes move once.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneDust sheets down, every unit built and squared, doors and drawers adjusted, or a spread-load anchor on a metal stud — and a long through-fixing past the void into the blockwork, and with 45% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in Isle of Dogs
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Isle of Dogs 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: or a spread-load anchor on a metal stud — and a long through-fixing past the void into the blockwork, and with 45% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, arranged with London Borough of Tower Hamlets where the kerb needs it
- On E14 jobs: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, with 84% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Isle of Dogs: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, the way it is done on Isle of Dogs jobs
- 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, which we refer on to the right trade in Isle of Dogs
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, handled by London Borough of Tower Hamlets or a specialist contractor instead
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), outside the fixed price on Isle of Dogs bookings
- 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 E14
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, quoted separately if you need it arranged in E14
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
- Single access roads onto the island, dock-side loading bays and lift booking in every block. 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
- 84% of homes around Isle of Dogs 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
Isle of Dogs 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 Isle of Dogs the wall behind a wardrobe is normally with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over dense block, measured on the walk in from Crossharbour (DLR) rather than assumed from a map, so the fitter uses or a spread-load anchor on a metal stud — and a long through-fixing past the void into the blockwork, and with 45% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. We scan for cables and pipework first and pull-test the finished restraint.
Usually yes. A booked goods lift and a loading-bay window, all arranged before the slot — and concierge sign-in — the reality on the streets around Island Gardens and the Greenwich foot tunnel. Single access roads onto the island, dock-side loading bays and lift booking in every block. London Borough of Tower Hamlets permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit. On Isle of Dogs jobs we confirm it when the slot is booked, not on the day.
All of it. Flattened cardboard, polystyrene, plastic strapping and the offcuts leave with us at the end of the Isle of Dogs 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 Isle of Dogs 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.
In Isle of Dogs, we can strip out and remove what is already there before the new units go in. It is quoted as a line of its own, and disposal runs under our registered waste carrier licence with a transfer note on request. Ask for it in writing before the E14 visit and it is on the job sheet.
