Wandsworth · SW15 · Wardrobe assembly
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Putney fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking wardrobe assembly near Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start? Boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts, 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 renter-heavy households around Putney, wardrobe assembly here covers supply-free fitting from £70. With 72% of Putney's 20,613 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW15 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. Boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts.
Most bookings are within 48 hours, and we hold slots to match delivery days so a kit doesn't sit boxed in the hallway. Putney (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Putney, with metal stud partitions between rooms, and with 31% one-person households in Putney, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SW15, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Putney stock goes, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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 Putney
20,613 households sit inside the SW15 neighbourhood covering Putney. The build is mainly Victorian, the tenure profile renter-heavy, and 72% of those homes are flats.
Because 38% of Putney is privately rented and 14% socially rented, a lot of SW15 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in Putney, with metal stud partitions between rooms, and with 31% one-person households in Putney, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site behind the plaster in SW15. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Putney stock goes, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
The Boat Race start, the embankment rowing clubs and the high street shops. That character decides the practical detail of wardrobe assembly here far more than the borough boundary does. Putney is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts — 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 Putney (South Western).

Single flat-pack wardrobe, up to 2 doors starts at £70 in Putney on Wandsworth bookings — and 28% of Putney homes being houses, with a median age of 34 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 for Putney (SW15) addresses — and Wandsworth parking rules in play, with 72% of homes here being flats.
Yes — it's the normal case rather than the exception on Wandsworth bookings. Putney's older bedrooms are rarely plumb top to bottom in this 72% flats neighbourhood, with 28% of Putney homes being houses — and this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory, 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 short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Putney stock goes, a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here for Putney (SW15) addresses — and 20,613 households on this patch, with this being a short walk from Putney (South Western).
On every tall or multi-door unit, as standard. With 72% of Putney homes being flats, a free-standing wardrobe that isn't anchored is one of the most preventable safety issues in a furnished let in Putney, with 14% 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 28% of Putney homes being houses, alcove and chimney-breast bedrooms are the layout we fit these into most around Putney (South Western) — and 47% owner-occupation locally, with Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start 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 around Putney (South Western) — and a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, with Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start a few streets away. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Putney SW15 price you agree is the price you pay in Putney, with 38% of SW15 homes being privately rented.
All three. With 38% of Putney privately rented and 47% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW15 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door in this 72% flats neighbourhood — and a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, with 31% one-person households here.
Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start is the marker we route to in this 72% flats neighbourhood, with 28% of Putney homes being houses — and 47% owner-occupation locally, and boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts. A SW15 slot added to an existing Wandsworth round usually lands the same week rather than the next on Wandsworth bookings, with Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start a few streets away.
