Wardrobe assembly London
Flat-pack and fitted PAX-style wardrobes built and anchored across all 33 London boroughs, with every carcass squared on a diagonal check before the back panel goes on and every tall or multi-door unit fixed to the wall as standard — the safety step most self-assembled wardrobes are never given. Where a bedroom wall leans out of plumb, which is the normal case in older London stock, scribing fillers are cut on site rather than leaving a gap along one edge.
London pricing
| Job | London from | Typical time | Why the London price differs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single flat-pack wardrobe, up to 2 doors | £70 | 1–1.5 hrs | Carcass squared and anchored before the doors go on, so they don't drop out of alignment within weeks. |
| Double or triple flat-pack wardrobe | £110 | 1.5–2.5 hrs | More panels to square and a wider carcass that needs bracing across the back before it's rigid. |
| Fitted wardrobe system (PAX-style), per bay | £150 | 2–3 hrs | Each bay is scribed individually to the wall — almost no London bedroom wall is square top to bottom. |
| Sliding-door wardrobe, per door | £65 | 45–70 min | The track has to be dead level along its run or the door binds or drifts open, which needs more adjustment than a hinged door. |
| Interior fit-out (drawers, rails, shelving), per unit | £45 | 30–50 min | Internal dividers and soft-close runners are fitted after the carcass is anchored, not before. |
| Wall anchoring for an existing free-standing wardrobe | £35 | 20–30 min | A retrofit anti-tip strap into a stud or masonry point, which most self-assembled wardrobes were never fitted with. |

Working in London
Victorian and Edwardian houses across boroughs like Waltham Forest, Bexley and Croydon commonly have bedrooms built around a chimney breast, leaving two alcoves that are rarely identical in width or depth on either side.
A fitted bay system scribed to each alcove individually handles that mismatch; a single off-the-shelf wardrobe pushed into one alcove often leaves an unusable gap on the other side that a fitted system avoids entirely.
Solid brick walls in London's older housing stock have typically settled unevenly over a century or more, so a bedroom wall that reads plumb by eye can be a centimetre or more out over the height of a wardrobe.
We check plumb before fitting and cut scribing fillers to close the resulting gap along the wall side, rather than let the front face of the unit follow the wall's own lean.
With a large share of London homes being flats, furnished short lets and shared houses often arrive with a tall flat-pack wardrobe that was never anchored to the wall at all, which is one of the more preventable safety issues we're asked to fix retrospectively.
We fit anti-tip fixings into a stud or masonry point on every tall or multi-door unit as standard, and offer the same retrofit anchoring on an existing wardrobe that was never secured.
Carrying wardrobe panels and a built carcass up a narrow shared stairwell in a converted period house or a walk-up flat, common across inner London, needs two people rather than one to avoid damaging the walls or the item.
We plan crew size around the building's access at booking, not on the day, so a walk-up delivery doesn't hold up the rest of the visit.

London questions
A single flat-pack wardrobe with up to two doors starts at £70, a double or triple wardrobe from £110, and a fitted PAX-style system is priced per bay from £150. Sliding doors are £65 per door and interior fit-out from £45 per unit.
Yes, on every tall or multi-door unit as standard, using a stud or masonry fixing. It's the same anti-tip step furniture safety guidance and most manufacturer manuals call for, and it's never billed as an optional extra.
Yes — it's the normal case in older London housing rather than the exception. We check the wall for plumb and cut scribing fillers to close any gap, so the wardrobe's front face sits flush rather than leaning off the wall.
Yes, from £35. It's a retrofit anti-tip strap into a stud or masonry point, which most self-assembled wardrobes were never fitted with when they were first built.
Per bay, yes, because each bay is scribed individually to its own section of wall — but a fitted system typically uses awkward alcove space a standalone wardrobe can't fill efficiently.
Yes. The track has to be dead level along its full run or the door drifts open on its own, which takes more adjustment time than fitting a hinged door — priced at £65 per door.
Yes, and it's efficient to do so since the fitter and tools are already on site — ask for a combined quote when you book.
A single wardrobe typically takes 1–1.5 hours. A fitted bay system runs 2–3 hours per bay, and a sliding-door unit needs 45–70 minutes per door for track levelling.

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 →
