London wardrobe assembly · East London
We work in Newham every week — olympic park and stratford towers, royal docks water and dense victorian terraces at east ham and forest gate. Wardrobe assembly is priced against that reality, not a national average.
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.
Working in Newham
What our crews walk into in Newham is terraced two-beds, tower blocks, and thousands of new apartments in e20 and the royal docks, and the mix changes street by street — Beckton (E6), Canning Town (E16) and Custom House (E16) each behave differently on the day.
London Borough of Newham sets the constraint: new-build blocks require booked service lifts and loading bays; terraced streets around east ham are permit-only and tight. Locally that means wide estate roads and off-street parking — among the easiest access in east london and a13 and lower lea crossing red routes; new blocks require booked docks and lifts. Newham sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
Leases across Newham restrict drilling into party and structural walls. We check what the wall actually is before we start, and where consent is needed we say so rather than fixing anyway.
Why it looks like this: built for dockers and beckton gasworks labour; the 2012 games rebuilt stratford and the lower lea valley wholesale.

Single flat-pack wardrobe, up to 2 doors starts at £70 in Newham, and the ladder runs up to £35 for the largest job on the table above. 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: E12, E13, E15, E16, E20, E6 and E7. On the ground that includes Beckton, Canning Town, Custom House, East Ham, East Village and Forest Gate.
Most bookings are within 48 hours, and we hold slots to match delivery days so a kit doesn't sit boxed in the hallway. East London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
New-build blocks require booked service lifts and loading bays; terraced streets around East Ham are permit-only and tight. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Newham and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Terraced two-beds, tower blocks, and thousands of new apartments in E20 and the Royal Docks is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
Fitters carry £1m 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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Newham tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
One fitter for a single wardrobe; two for fitted bay systems, sliding-door units and anything carried up a shared stairwell. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Newham postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
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 and Moving existing furniture out of the room before the build starts. If something on that list turns up in Newham, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.

I booked the services for putting together some new bedroom furniture. This was agreed for 3 pm. I got a call at 3pm to say they were going to be late and be there at 5, they arrived at 5:30. The workmanship and the guys who fitted it was excellent and they were very friendly… Read in full →
