Shelf installation in Roehampton, SW15
Shelf installation in Roehampton, SW15: alton estate towers and slab blocks, university halls and 1930s semis, so the order we see most is sturdy bracketed runs, hallway storage shelving and anti-tip anchoring, often two rooms in one visit. The wall behind it is usually reinforced concrete panel or slab, and the callback we are asked to fix is a masonry bit burned out halfway into a concrete panel, leaving a shallow hole that never takes the full anchor.

The service, locally
Shelving we fit in Roehampton homes
Every run is set out from the room rather than the box: marked up, checked against the skirting and the window head, then laser-levelled before a single hole is drilled. Prices are per shelf and fixed in writing before we arrive.
If old shelving has to come down first, we strip it, pull the plugs, fill the holes twice and sand them flush. It happens in the same visit, not a second one.

£45 minimum per visit. Prices include VAT, the van, the fixings, dust control and taking the packaging away. Nothing is added on the day without your written agreement first. Load ratings are quoted per pair of fixings, in shear, on the substrate we actually found — not the maker's laboratory figure. Books, tools and a full record collection are the loads we design for.

- Parking and permits
- London Borough of Wandsworth visitor permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so timber, brackets and the dust extractor are carried in once. Slab blocks with limited lifts, long walkway carries and steep estate approaches.
- Charging zones
- Wandsworth sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. Our vans are ULEZ compliant and neither charge ever appears on a SW15 invoice.
- What the wall is made of
- 75% of homes around Roehampton are flats, so dot-and-dab, concrete panel and lath-and-plaster are common here — through-fixings are quoted from your photos before the slot, never discovered on the day.
Every wall is sounded and scanned for cables and pipes before a bit goes anywhere near it. Where a shelf lands on plasterboard we fix into the studs or use rated cavity anchors, never a plastic rawl plug taking a bookcase's worth of weight.
Scope
What is included in Roehampton
Included in every visit
- Every shelf on your Roehampton list set out from the room, marked up and laser-levelled before a hole is drilled
- A scan of every SW15 wall for live cables and pipework, and fixings chosen for the substrate we actually find: sds drilling with dust extraction, scanned for rebar and conduit, resin or sleeve anchors
- Containment while we work in your Roehampton room: sheets down, extraction running, everything hoovered off before we pack the van
- Each run loaded and load-tested in front of you, with the safe working load written on the job sheet
Not included — and why
- Supplying the shelves themselves — we fit what you have bought, and will tell you before the day if it is not fit for the load
- Anything structural — notching studs, altering a lintel, forming an opening — which is a builder's job, not a fitter's
- Making good beyond filling and sanding the holes we or the old shelving left
- New sockets or spurs behind a media wall; we route the cables you already have and leave certified work to an electrician
