London outdoor furniture assembly · Central London
We work in Kensington and Chelsea every week — the densest borough in the country — white stucco crescents, museum quarter and the portobello and world's end ends. Outdoor furniture assembly is priced against that reality, not a national average.
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. |
Prices cover assembly, positioning and levelling on your existing surface. Laying a new slab or concrete base is a separate landscaping job. Packaging is flattened and taken away on request. Permits, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge where they apply are itemised in the written quote.
Working in Kensington and Chelsea
The stock in Kensington and Chelsea is stucco-fronted terraces, mansion flats, mews houses and the lancaster west and world's end estates, and the mix changes street by street — Bayswater (W2), Chelsea (SW3) and Earl's Court (SW5) each behave differently on the day.
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea sets the constraint: some of the tightest cpzs in london, mews entrances under 2.1m and communal-stair-only access in many mansion blocks. Locally that means hotel servicing congestion, permit bays and five-storey walk-ups and cadogan estate parking rules, king's road red-route loading and mews arches with height limits. Part of Kensington and Chelsea sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.
Leases across Kensington and Chelsea restrict drilling into party and structural walls. We check what the wall actually is before we start, and where consent is needed we say so rather than fixing anyway.
Why it looks like this: market gardens turned into the great exhibition's albertopolis, then estate-built stucco terraces for the victorian wealthy.

Bistro set or two chairs and a table starts at £55 in Kensington and Chelsea, and the ladder runs up to £160 for the largest job on the table above. Item count and access set the price: carrying through a flat or up to a terrace takes longer than a side return. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.
We cover the whole borough: SW10, SW3, SW5, SW7, W10, W11, W14, W2 and W8. On the ground that includes Bayswater, Chelsea, Earl's Court, Holland Park, Kensington and Ladbroke Grove.
Most garden bookings are within 48 hours in season, with weekend slots from March to September. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Some of the tightest CPZs in London, mews entrances under 2.1m and communal-stair-only access in many mansion blocks. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Stucco-fronted terraces, mansion flats, mews houses and the Lancaster West and World's End estates is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
Fitters carry £1m public liability cover and every gas BBQ is leak-tested with the regulator fitted before hand-over. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
One fitter for bistro sets, parasols and BBQs; two for corner sofa sets, large dining sets and shed bases. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Kensington and Chelsea postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Laying paving, concrete pads or decking — that is landscaping, quoted separately, Fixing anything into a party wall or boundary structure without the neighbour's consent and Hard-wiring outdoor power, lighting or heaters, which needs a registered electrician. If something on that list turns up in Kensington and Chelsea, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.
We had our wardrobe installed by a professional handyman Abdul. He did an outstanding service. It was easy to book online
I booked the services for putting together some new bedroom furniture. This was agreed for 3 pm. I got a call at 3pm to say they were going to be late and be there at 5, they arrived at 5:30. The workmanship and the guys who fitted it was excellent and they were very friendly… Read in full →
