City of London · EC2 · Outdoor furniture assembly
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Moorgate fitters · Fixed written pricesMoorgate EC2 is a regular stop on our City of London round. Office core around Finsbury Circus and Liverpool Street, with a small resident population above the shops, so outdoor furniture assembly here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £55, in writing, with insured fitters, everything built where it will live and the packaging taken away.


Overview
This page prices outdoor furniture assembly for Moorgate EC2 specifically: recent new-build stock, 48% privately rented and 4,914 households in total. Work starts at £55, fixed in writing, with parking and City of London Corporation permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
The route in is checked before the crew is booked, and floors are protected on the way.
Step 2
Parts checked outside, so cardboard never comes through the house twice.
Step 3
Assembled where it will live, because a built dining set will not fit back through a doorway.
Step 4
Feet packed to the fall of the paving and parasol bases ballasted for wind.
Step 5
BBQ leak-tested, moving parts cycled, packaging flattened and taken away on request.
Why choose us
One fitter for bistro sets, parasols and BBQs; two for corner sofa sets, large dining sets and shed bases. Congestion Charge, weekday loading windows before 10:00, and building managers who require insurance documents.
Most garden bookings are within 48 hours in season, with weekend slots from March to September. Moorgate (Northern, Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a EC2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms — measured on the walk in from Moorgate (Northern, Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map in EC2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in EC2, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — the reality on the streets around Finsbury Circus Gardens.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover and every gas BBQ is leak-tested with the regulator fitted before hand-over.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bistro set or two chairs and a table | £55 | 30–60 min | Quick build, bolted with the set standing on the surface it will live on. |
| Six to eight seat dining set | £110 | 1.5–2.5 hrs | Every chair is a separate build and the table is levelled on paving that falls for drainage. |
| Rattan corner sofa set | £140 | 2–3 hrs | Modules clipped and bolted, then squared so the cushions sit flush. |
| Gas BBQ or outdoor kitchen unit | £120 | 1.5–3 hrs | Burners aligned, regulator fitted and leak-tested before it is ever lit. |
| Parasol, cantilever base or gazebo | £95 | 1–2 hrs | The base is the safety item — ballast is calculated, not guessed. |
| Shed base or storage box, levelling included | £160 | 2–4 hrs | A base 15mm out of level is why shed doors stop closing after one winter. |

Scope
Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.
Really pleased with our house move. The guys came on time, loaded everything carefully like a huge jigsaw! Nothing got broken and even though they were working on an hourly rate they were really efficient, not to waste any time. Our only criticism is that we needed a few items disassembled to get on the… Read in full →
