IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Wandsworth
Flat-pack and IKEA assembly across Wandsworth covers 8 areas, and the wall behind the plaster changes street by street. 69% of homes here are flats, so half the diary is conversion-flat lath and dot-and-dab board, and half is solid brick and timber stud. Every anti-tip strap goes into something structural, never into the board alone.

How it works
How a Wandsworth 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 Battersea quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for SW11Estate loading docks booked in advance, Nine Elms construction diversions and tight terraced streets. 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, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, then the cardboard flattened and taken away.

Scope
What is included in Wandsworth
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Battersea list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- In Battersea: 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, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here, the way it is done on Battersea jobs
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches — including IKEA assembly
- Standard on Wandsworth bookings: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, arranged with London Borough of Wandsworth where the kerb needs it
- London Borough of Wandsworth permits or bay suspensions where SW11 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 SW11
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, which we refer on to the right trade in Battersea
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately), handled by London Borough of Wandsworth or a specialist contractor instead
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, and we will say so before the SW11 visit rather than on the day
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, outside the fixed price on Battersea bookings
The complete item list, anchoring matrix and scope policy sit on one page: assembly reference.
Why Hello Services
Why book assembly in Wandsworth with us
Missing parts do not stop us
Dowels, cam locks and common fittings are in the van on Wandsworth bookings, with Wandsworth parking rules in play, so a short-shipped pack still finishes the same day. With 87% of homes in Battersea being flats, we plan the route up front.
DBS-checked and insured
£1m public liability and a fitter you would be happy to leave in the flat while you work on Wandsworth bookings, with 38% owner-occupation locally. Near Battersea Power Station that usually means an earlier start so the van can be unloaded once.
Independent of every retailer
We build any brand's flat-pack, so the advice you get is about your furniture, not a shop's upsell on the Battersea rounds, with 28% social-rented stock nearby.

The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.
- Parking and permits
- Estate loading docks booked in advance, Nine Elms construction diversions and tight terraced streets. London Borough of Wandsworth visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Wandsworth sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and that cost is never added to a SW11 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 87% of homes around Battersea 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 SW11 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.
Walls and anchoring
What holds an anti-tip strap in Wandsworth
Most likely here
in SW11, Post-2010 apartments lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — with 28% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first
- Wall construction
- with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over dense block, the pattern behind 6,832 households inside the SW11 neighbourhood
- The fixing we use
- or a spread-load anchor on a metal stud — and a long through-fixing past the void into the blockwork, a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here
- Access
- a booked goods lift and a loading-bay window, all arranged before the slot, over concierge sign-in, and with 34% one-person households in Battersea, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site
6,832 households sit inside the ONS neighbourhood covering Battersea, and 87% of them are flats — which is why a booked goods lift and a loading-bay window decides the slot length more often than the furniture does.

Questions
Wandsworth flat-pack assembly questions
Per item and identical in every Wandsworth postcode: from £35 for a bookcase, £45 a chest of drawers, £55 a bed frame, £75 a hinged wardrobe and £120 per 100cm of a modular wardrobe run. Half day £190, full day £340.
All 8 areas, each with its own page covering the housing stock, the wall construction that comes with it and what a two-metre box has to get through to reach the room. Very tight CPZs, riverside developments with booked loading bays, and narrow 'between the commons' streets.
Yes, on every item designed to be restrained. We scan for cable and pipe, then use the fixing the wall genuinely needs — a stud screw in lath, a through-fixing on dot-and-dab, resin in soft brick, a screwbolt in concrete — and load-test it before leaving.
Yes. Void turnarounds, furnished-let packs and student handovers are handled with photographs on completion, an itemised invoice per property and one contact for a portfolio. We can attend with keys from the agent.
Where a visitor permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange and pay for it with London Borough of Wandsworth, and the cost is already inside your quote. Our vans are ULEZ compliant.
Yes — £1m public liability, DBS-checked fitters, and photographs of every anchored unit on completion. If a fixing we installed fails we come back and put it right.
