Overview
This page prices outdoor furniture assembly for Angel N1 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 37% privately rented and 4,920 households in total. Work starts at £55, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Islington 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. Seven-day CPZ, no off-street parking on the Georgian streets and steep basement access.
Most garden bookings are within 48 hours in season, with weekend slots from March to September. Angel (Northern) is the nearest station, so a N1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — the reality on the streets around The Business Design Centre and Camden Passage in N1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — measured on the walk in from Angel (Northern) rather than assumed from a map.
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 →

Expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs — the reality on the streets around The Business Design Centre and Camden Passage behind the plaster in N1. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — measured on the walk in from Angel (Northern) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
