IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Belgravia, SW1
**IKEA assembly in Belgravia** (SW1, Westminster) is decided by two things — what is behind the plaster and how the boxes get in. Locally that means precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, often with surface-run conduit, and deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat, so we book a delivery window.
- From £35 an item, £190 a half day — priced per unit, fixed in writing
- precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, often with surface-run conduit here, so the anti-tip strap goes into something structural
- Deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat, so we book a delivery window
- Westminster City Council permits, ULEZ and packaging removal already inside the price

How it works
How a Belgravia 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 Belgravia quote is itemised per unit, so you can see what each build costs before you accept it.
- Access sorted for SW1We book the Westminster City Council permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat, so we book a delivery window.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneEach unit is torqued, squared and load-tested, tall pieces are strapped using an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Sloane Square (Circle, District) is the nearest station, and Westminster City Council controls the kerb outside, so the permit is bought before the van leaves rather than argued about on arrival.
3,844 households sit inside the ONS neighbourhood covering Belgravia, and 92% of them are flats — which is why deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat decides the slot length more often than the furniture does.
30% of homes around SW1 are privately rented, so a large share of our Belgravia bookings are move-in-week builds where the tenancy start date, not the weekend, sets the date.

DBS-checked and insured
£5m public liability and a fitter you would be happy to leave in the flat while you work.
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.
Anchored, not just assembled
Every tall unit in Belgravia is strapped using an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable — and load-tested before we leave.
Priced per item, not per hour
Your SW1 list is quoted per unit in writing the same working day, with no doorstep re-quote.

- Parking and permits
- Estate parking rules, mews arches with height limits and listed staircases requiring protection. Westminster City Council visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so long boxes are carried once, not twice.
- Charging zones
- Part of Westminster 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 SW1 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 92% of homes around Belgravia 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 SW1 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.
Scope
What is included in Belgravia
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Belgravia list built, squared and levelled to the floor in the room it belongs in
- Anti-tip anchoring where the item needs it: an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable
- Doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches
- A stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall
- Westminster City Council permits or bay suspensions where SW1 needs one
- Flattened cardboard, polystyrene and strapping taken away in the van
Not included — and why
- New electrical circuits, consumer-unit work or anything notifiable under Part P — that belongs to a registered electrician
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work
- Plumbing in a sink, tap or integrated appliance as part of a kitchen run (we can book that separately)
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit
The complete item list, anchoring matrix and scope policy sit on one page: assembly reference.

Questions
Belgravia SW1 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 SW1 is £190 for a batched list.
Yes, and it is included. Around SW1 we are fixing into precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, often with surface-run conduit, so we use an SDS-drilled hole and a screwbolt, set clear of scanned reinforcement and buried cable. Every wall is scanned for cable and pipe first, and each strap is load-tested before we leave.
Usually yes. Deck access or a single lift shared with every other flat, so we book a delivery window. Estate parking rules, mews arches with height limits and listed staircases requiring protection. Westminster City Council permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us before the visit.
All of it. Flattened cardboard, polystyrene, plastic strapping and the offcuts leave with us at the end of the Belgravia 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 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 landing.
Most SW1 bookings are fitted within two to four working days, and we hold same-day and evening slots for handover and tenancy-start dates. Send the item list and you have a fixed written price the same working day.
