IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Fitzrovia, W1
Furniture assembly in Fitzrovia, W1: we price per unit, build in the room, and anchor with a long through-fixing past the void into the blockwork in W1, or a spread-load anchor on a metal stud — measured on the walk in from Goodge Street (Northern) rather than assumed from a map. Weekday CPZ, narrow service roads and buildings with staircase-only access above the second floor.

How it works
How a Fitzrovia assembly visit works
- Send the list, get a fixed priceSend the item list or a photo of the boxes. We price each unit from the published W1 list and confirm one written figure, including the anchoring your walls need.
- Access sorted for W1We book the Westminster City Council permit or the bay suspension and, where it applies, a booked goods lift and a loading-bay window, all arranged before the slot, over concierge sign-in — with 28% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
- Built, anchored, packaging goneEach unit is torqued, squared and load-tested, tall pieces are strapped using a long through-fixing past the void into the blockwork in W1, or a spread-load anchor on a metal stud — measured on the walk in from Goodge Street (Northern) rather than assumed from a map, and the flat is left cleaner than the delivery left it.

Scope
What is included in Fitzrovia
Included in every visit
- Every unit on your Fitzrovia 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 W1, or a spread-load anchor on a metal stud — measured on the walk in from Goodge Street (Northern) rather than assumed from a map
- In Fitzrovia: doors, hinges, drawer runners and sliding tracks adjusted so nothing drifts or catches, timed against the walk in from Goodge Street (Northern)
- On W1 jobs: a stud, pipe and cable scan before any fixing goes into a wall, agreed on the doorstep in Fitzrovia before anything is unpacked
- Westminster City Council permits or bay suspensions where W1 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 Fitzrovia
- Gas appliance connection, including hobs and cookers, which is Gas Safe work, quoted separately if you need it arranged in W1
- 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 W1 visit rather than on the day
- Manufacturer spare parts — missing dowels, cam locks or damaged panels are ordered at cost with the receipt, handled by Westminster City Council or a specialist contractor instead
- Cutting into a structural wall or altering an opening to make a unit fit, handled by Westminster City Council or a specialist contractor instead
The complete item list, anchoring matrix and scope policy sit on one page: assembly reference.
Why Hello Services
Why book assembly in Fitzrovia with us
Permits and access handled
For W1 bookings, westminster City Council permits, bay suspensions, concierge sign-in and goods-lift booking are arranged by us around Goodge Street (Northern). Around Goodge Street (Northern) we allow for the parking and the walk-in before the slot is confirmed.
Missing parts do not stop us
Dowels, cam locks and common fittings are in the van in Fitzrovia, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, so a short-shipped pack still finishes the same day.
DBS-checked and insured
£1m public liability and a fitter you would be happy to leave in the flat while you work on Westminster bookings, with 98% of homes here being flats. Near The BT Tower that usually means an earlier start so the van can be unloaded once.

The most-booked London slot: a bedroom's worth of boxes in one visit, one price.
- Parking and permits
- Weekday CPZ, narrow service roads and buildings with staircase-only access above the second floor. 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 W1 invoice.
- Access and lifts
- 98% of homes around Fitzrovia 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 W1 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.

What holds an anti-tip strap in Fitzrovia
Most likely here
Post-2010 apartments lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, as the Fitzrovia stock goes, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here
- Wall construction
- with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over dense block — where 20% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year
- The fixing we use
- a long through-fixing past the void into the blockwork in W1, or a spread-load anchor on a metal stud — measured on the walk in from Goodge Street (Northern) rather than assumed from a map
- Access
- a booked goods lift and a loading-bay window, all arranged before the slot, over concierge sign-in — with 28% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first
52% of homes around W1 are privately rented, so a large share of our Fitzrovia bookings are move-in-week builds where the tenancy start date, not the weekend, sets the date.

Sulltan and Adam were absolutely brilliant. They assembled some complicated IKEA items perfectly. They were really helpful and left assembly areas clean and tidy. I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Questions
Fitzrovia W1 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 W1 is £190 for a batched list.
Every unit designed to be restrained gets restrained. Because W1 walls are typically with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over dense block — where 20% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, the fixing we carry is a long through-fixing past the void into the blockwork in W1, or a spread-load anchor on a metal stud — measured on the walk in from Goodge Street (Northern) rather than assumed from a map — chosen on site after a cable and pipe scan, then load-tested in front of you.
Usually yes. A booked goods lift and a loading-bay window, all arranged before the slot — and concierge sign-in, the pattern behind 4,257 households inside the W1 neighbourhood. Weekday CPZ, narrow service roads and buildings with staircase-only access above the second floor. 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 Fitzrovia visit and go to a licensed transfer station — we are a registered waste carrier.
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 W1 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 W1 hallway or communal bin store.
