Overview
This page prices wardrobe assembly for Bexley Village DA5 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 14% privately rented and 3,319 households in total. Work starts at £70, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Bexley permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
Wall checked for level and plumb — a Victorian bedroom wall is rarely square top to bottom, and that decides how much scribing the fit will need.
Step 2
Panels assembled and squared with a diagonal check before the back goes on, since a carcass built out of square is what makes doors bind later.
Step 3
The unit offered up to the wall, gaps marked and fillers cut so the front face sits flush rather than following the wall's own lean.
Step 4
Anti-tip fixings into a stud or masonry point on every tall unit, standard on every build regardless of whether the kit's instructions make it optional.
Step 5
Rails, drawers and shelving fitted, doors and runners adjusted to close flush and quiet, packaging taken away.
Why choose us
One fitter for a single wardrobe; two for fitted bay systems, sliding-door units and anything carried up a shared stairwell. Narrow village lanes with a one-way section; driveways on the newer roads.
Most bookings are within 48 hours, and we hold slots to match delivery days so a kit doesn't sit boxed in the hallway. Bexley (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in DA5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in DA5, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — the pattern behind 3,319 households inside the DA5 neighbourhood.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, and every tall or multi-door wardrobe is anchored to the wall as standard — the fixing furniture safety guidance and most manufacturer manuals call for and that free-standing self-assembly often skips.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 | Tracks have to be dead level or the door binds or drifts open on its own, which takes 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 fixing, which most self-assembled wardrobes are never fitted with. |

Prices are assembly labour for a kit you supply. Every tall or top-heavy unit is anchored to the wall as standard, which is the manufacturer's own instruction and not an upsell. Scribing fillers for out-of-square walls are cut on site and included. Permits, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge where they apply are itemised.
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 →

Working in Bexley Village
Census 2021 puts Bexley Village at 3,319 households with a median age of 43.4. The mainly Victorian stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 79% houses and 21% flats need different handling in DA5.
Private renting sits at 14% and owner-occupation at 81%; the first group books wardrobe assembly at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect cavity brickwork outside, over timber stud partitions inside — which is why London Borough of Bexley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in DA5. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in DA5, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — the pattern behind 3,319 households inside the DA5 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Bexley Village knows the pattern near Hall Place and Gardens: a genuine village on the Cray with Hall Place's Tudor gardens next door. We plan the DA5 visit around it. Bexley Village is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, narrow village lanes with a one-way section; driveways on the newer roads — one reason one fitter for a single wardrobe; two for fitted bay systems, sliding-door units and anything carried up a shared stairwell. Fitters travelling in use Bexley (Southeastern).

Single flat-pack wardrobe, up to 2 doors starts at £70 in Bexley Village around Bexley (Southeastern), with 81% owner-occupation locally — and this being a short walk from Bexley (Southeastern), and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Bay count and door type set the price. A fitted system is priced per bay because each one is scribed to its own patch of wall; sliding doors need more track-levelling time than hinged ones on the Bexley Village rounds — and a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood, with 14% of DA5 homes being privately rented.
Yes — it's the normal case rather than the exception on the streets near Hall Place and Gardens. Bexley Village's older bedrooms are rarely plumb top to bottom across DA5, with Hall Place and Gardens a few streets away — and 5% social-rented stock nearby, so we scribe filler pieces to close the gap rather than leave the unit leaning off the wall. The fault we correct most on call-backs is in DA5, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — the pattern behind 3,319 households inside the DA5 neighbourhood on the Bexley Village rounds — and 21% of homes here being flats, with 14% of DA5 homes being privately rented.
On every tall or multi-door unit, as standard. With 21% of Bexley Village homes being flats, a free-standing wardrobe that isn't anchored is one of the most preventable safety issues in a furnished let on the Bexley Village rounds — and this being a short walk from Bexley (Southeastern), with 79% of Bexley Village homes being houses.
Yes, from £65 a door. The track has to be dead level along its full run or the door drifts open on its own — with 79% of Bexley Village homes being houses, alcove and chimney-breast bedrooms are the layout we fit these into most on DA5 jobs — and this being London Borough of Bexley territory, with Bexley parking rules in play.
All three. With 14% of Bexley Village privately rented and 81% owner-occupied, roughly half the DA5 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on DA5 jobs — and 21% of homes here being flats, with 14% of DA5 homes being privately rented.
Hall Place and Gardens is the marker we route to on the Bexley Village rounds, with 26% one-person households here, and narrow village lanes with a one-way section; driveways on the newer roads. A DA5 slot added to an existing Bexley round usually lands the same week rather than the next on DA5 jobs, with Bexley parking rules in play.
Most bookings are within 48 hours, with a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood, and we hold slots to match delivery days so a kit doesn't sit boxed in the hallway on this side of Bexley. Bexley Village sits close to Bexley (Southeastern), with this being London Borough of Bexley territory, so we can usually add a DA5 job to an existing Bexley round at short notice in Bexley Village.
