City of London · EC3 · Wardrobe assembly
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Bank and Cornhill fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking wardrobe assembly near The Royal Exchange? Bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £70 and are fixed before we travel. Walls are checked for plumb before scribing fillers are cut.
Overview
This page prices wardrobe assembly for Bank and Cornhill EC3 specifically: period conversion stock, 48% privately rented and 4,914 households in total. Work starts at £70, fixed in writing, with parking and City of London Corporation 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
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.
One fitter for a single wardrobe; two for fitted bay systems, sliding-door units and anything carried up a shared stairwell. Bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only.
Most bookings are within 48 hours, and we hold slots to match delivery days so a kit doesn't sit boxed in the hallway. Bank (Central, Northern, Waterloo & City, DLR) is the nearest station, so a EC3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, the pattern behind 4,914 households inside the EC3 neighbourhood in EC3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Bank and Cornhill gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, where 37% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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 Bank and Cornhill
Bank and Cornhill EC3 is period conversion and renter-heavy: 98% of homes here are flats and 2% are houses, across 4,914 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 48% of Bank and Cornhill is privately rented and 15% socially rented, a lot of EC3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, the pattern behind 4,914 households inside the EC3 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Bank and Cornhill is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Bank and Cornhill gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, where 37% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
The historic financial heart — Royal Exchange, Mansion House and the alleyways behind Leadenhall. That character decides the practical detail of wardrobe assembly here far more than the borough boundary does. Bank and Cornhill sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only — 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 Bank (Central, Northern, Waterloo & City, DLR).

Single flat-pack wardrobe, up to 2 doors starts at £70 in Bank and Cornhill across EC3, with 37% owner-occupation locally — and this being a short walk from Bank (Central, Northern, Waterloo & City, DLR), 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 in this 98% flats neighbourhood — and this being City of London Corporation territory, with 51% one-person households here.
Yes — it's the normal case rather than the exception on this side of City of London. Bank and Cornhill's older bedrooms are rarely plumb top to bottom across EC3, with The Royal Exchange a few streets away — and 37% owner-occupation locally, 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 Bank and Cornhill gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on the streets near The Royal Exchange — and 98% of homes here being flats, with 2% of Bank and Cornhill homes being houses, where 37% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
On every tall or multi-door unit, as standard. With 98% of Bank and Cornhill homes being flats, a free-standing wardrobe that isn't anchored is one of the most preventable safety issues in a furnished let on this side of City of London — and 51% one-person households here, with this being a short walk from Bank (Central, Northern, Waterloo & City, DLR).
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 2% of Bank and Cornhill homes being houses, alcove and chimney-breast bedrooms are the layout we fit these into most for Bank and Cornhill (EC3) addresses — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, with 4,914 households on this patch.
Bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only in Bank and Cornhill. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in City of London Corporation it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on this side of City of London — and 4,914 households on this patch, with 51% one-person households here.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, with 48% of EC3 homes being privately rented — and 2% of Bank and Cornhill homes being houses, 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 on the streets near The Royal Exchange. That paperwork is what most City of London letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on EC3 jobs, with The Royal Exchange a few streets away.
Structural alcove work or making good plaster where a fitted system is boxed in; Sourcing or ordering replacement parts for a kit that arrives damaged or incomplete; Moving existing furniture out of the room before the build starts on the Bank and Cornhill rounds — and this being a short walk from Bank (Central, Northern, Waterloo & City, DLR), with 15% social-rented stock nearby. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Bank and Cornhill EC3 price you agree is the price you pay on EC3 jobs, with 2% of Bank and Cornhill homes being houses.
