Overview

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. Broadgate estate has its own access rules and booked bays; surrounding streets are red-route controlled.
Most bookings are within 48 hours, and we hold slots to match delivery days so a kit doesn't sit boxed in the hallway. Liverpool Street (Central, Circle, Elizabeth line, National Rail) is the nearest station, so a EC2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Liverpool Street, with metal stud partitions between rooms — the reality on the streets around Broadgate Circle in EC2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in EC2, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — measured on the walk in from Liverpool Street (Central, Circle, Elizabeth line, National Rail) rather than assumed from a map.
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 Liverpool Street
Walk Liverpool Street from Broadgate Circle outwards and the period conversion pattern is obvious: 98% of the 4,914 households in EC2 live in flats, 2% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 37% in Liverpool Street, so alongside the 48% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Liverpool Street substrates run to dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Liverpool Street, with metal stud partitions between rooms — the reality on the streets around Broadgate Circle. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in EC2, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — measured on the walk in from Liverpool Street (Central, Circle, Elizabeth line, National Rail) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a EC2 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Liverpool Street knows the pattern near Broadgate Circle: commuter gateway with Broadgate offices on one side and Spitalfields market on the other. We plan the EC2 visit around it. Liverpool Street 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, broadgate estate has its own access rules and booked bays; surrounding streets are red-route controlled — 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 Liverpool Street (Central, Circle, Elizabeth line, National Rail).

Single flat-pack wardrobe, up to 2 doors starts at £70 in Liverpool Street on this side of City of London, with 2% of Liverpool Street homes being houses — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, 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 around Liverpool Street (Central, Circle, Elizabeth line, National Rail) — and 37% owner-occupation locally, with 4,914 households on this patch.
Yes — it's the normal case rather than the exception on the Liverpool Street rounds. Liverpool Street's older bedrooms are rarely plumb top to bottom for Liverpool Street (EC2) addresses — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, with 98% of homes here being flats, 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 EC2, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — measured on the walk in from Liverpool Street (Central, Circle, Elizabeth line, National Rail) rather than assumed from a map on the streets near Broadgate Circle — and City of London parking rules in play, with this being City of London Corporation territory.
On every tall or multi-door unit, as standard. With 98% of Liverpool Street homes being flats, a free-standing wardrobe that isn't anchored is one of the most preventable safety issues in a furnished let in this 98% flats neighbourhood — and this being a short walk from Liverpool Street (Central, Circle, Elizabeth line, National Rail), with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood.
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 Liverpool Street homes being houses, alcove and chimney-breast bedrooms are the layout we fit these into most in this 98% flats neighbourhood, with 37% owner-occupation locally — and this being a short walk from Liverpool Street (Central, Circle, Elizabeth line, National Rail).
Most bookings are within 48 hours, with 4,914 households on this patch, and we hold slots to match delivery days so a kit doesn't sit boxed in the hallway on this side of City of London. Liverpool Street sits close to Liverpool Street (Central, Circle, Elizabeth line, National Rail) across EC2, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, so we can usually add a EC2 job to an existing City of London round at short notice.
Broadgate estate has its own access rules and booked bays; surrounding streets are red-route controlled on the Liverpool Street rounds. 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 EC2 jobs, with this being City of London Corporation territory.
Fitters carry £5m public liability cover, with this being a short walk from Liverpool Street (Central, Circle, Elizabeth line, National Rail) — and 4,914 households on this patch, 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 Liverpool Street rounds. That paperwork is what most City of London letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat across EC2, with 48% of EC2 homes being privately rented.
