Overview
Wardrobe assembly in Monument and Eastcheap EC3, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Monument, wardrobe assembly here covers supply-free fitting from £70. With 98% of Monument and Eastcheap's 4,914 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in EC3 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How wardrobe assembly works in Monument and Eastcheap
Five steps, the same on every EC3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Monument and Eastcheap gives us new-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, the reality on the streets around The Monument to the Great Fire is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Check the wall and the room
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
Build the carcass square
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
Fit and scribe
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
Anchor
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
Fit interiors and adjust
Rails, drawers and shelving fitted, doors and runners adjusted to close flush and quiet, packaging taken away.
Why choose us
Why Monument and Eastcheap customers book us
What follows is specific to Monument and Eastcheap: its walls, its access and the paperwork City of London agents ask for.
Booked around your day
Most bookings are within 48 hours, and we hold slots to match delivery days so a kit doesn't sit boxed in the hallway. Monument (Circle, District) is the nearest station, so a EC3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Monument and Eastcheap walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in EC3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in EC3, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Insured and documented
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
Wardrobe assembly prices in Monument and Eastcheap
Fixed prices for EC3 and the rest of City of London. 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.
| 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. |

Really pleased with our house move. The guys came on time, loaded everything carefully like a huge jigsaw!
