Greenwich · SE3 · Wardrobe assembly
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Kidbrooke fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking wardrobe assembly near Sutcliffe Park? Managed estate with loading bays and lift booking; wide new roads elsewhere, 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
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Kidbrooke, wardrobe assembly here covers supply-free fitting from £70. With 44% of Kidbrooke's 7,629 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE3 shape the slot length we hold.
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. Managed estate with loading bays and lift booking; wide new roads elsewhere.
Most bookings are within 48 hours, and we hold slots to match delivery days so a kit doesn't sit boxed in the hallway. Kidbrooke (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in Kidbrooke, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, with 25% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SE3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Kidbrooke stock goes, where 53% 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 Kidbrooke
Kidbrooke SE3 is post-war and mixed-tenure: 44% of homes here are flats and 56% are houses, across 7,629 households (ONS Census 2021).
The mixed-tenure mix here (53% owned, 22% privately rented) means a SE3 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are solid London stock brick in Kidbrooke, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, with 25% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first, so the fixing that matters in Kidbrooke is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Kidbrooke stock goes, where 53% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Kidbrooke Village — the rebuilt Ferrier estate — beside Sutcliffe Park. That character decides the practical detail of wardrobe assembly here far more than the borough boundary does. Kidbrooke is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Managed estate with loading bays and lift booking; wide new roads elsewhere. Nearest station is Kidbrooke (Southeastern), and one fitter for a single wardrobe; two for fitted bay systems, sliding-door units and anything carried up a shared stairwell.

Single flat-pack wardrobe, up to 2 doors starts at £70 in Kidbrooke on the Kidbrooke rounds, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood — and 44% of homes here being flats, 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 44% flats neighbourhood — and 22% of SE3 homes being privately rented, with 44% of homes here being flats.
Yes — it's the normal case rather than the exception on the streets near Sutcliffe Park. Kidbrooke's older bedrooms are rarely plumb top to bottom for Kidbrooke (SE3) addresses — and this being a short walk from Kidbrooke (Southeastern), with 56% of Kidbrooke homes being houses, 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 fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Kidbrooke stock goes on this side of Greenwich — and 29% one-person households here, with this being a short walk from Kidbrooke (Southeastern), where 53% 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 44% of Kidbrooke homes being flats, a free-standing wardrobe that isn't anchored is one of the most preventable safety issues in a furnished let across SE3, with 25% social-rented stock nearby.
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 56% of Kidbrooke homes being houses, alcove and chimney-breast bedrooms are the layout we fit these into most on SE3 jobs — and 44% of homes here being flats, with Greenwich parking rules in play.
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 in this 44% flats neighbourhood — and 7,629 households on this patch, with Sutcliffe Park a few streets away. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Kidbrooke SE3 price you agree is the price you pay on Greenwich bookings, with 22% of SE3 homes being privately rented.
All three. With 22% of Kidbrooke privately rented and 53% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE3 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of Greenwich — and this being a short walk from Kidbrooke (Southeastern), with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood.
Sutcliffe Park is the marker we route to on the Kidbrooke rounds, with this being a short walk from Kidbrooke (Southeastern), and managed estate with loading bays and lift booking; wide new roads elsewhere. A SE3 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next on SE3 jobs, with 53% owner-occupation locally.
