Children’s furniture assembly in London

Furniture for children’s rooms

Send the complete item list and tell us where each piece should go.

Know the model and the room

Start with the exact product references for beds, bunks, desks and storage. A model name may cover several different configurations or revisions. If a bed has a ladder, rail, pull-out base or storage drawers, check whether those parts have separate carton numbers. Share the complete order and the room layout so we can see which pieces need to go in first. Keep the manufacturer’s instructions available for each unit.

Measure clear floor area as well as the wall length. A drawer that looks easy to open in the shop may run into the bedroom door or a bed frame. For a desk, check the position of sockets and radiators and allow room to move the chair. For tall furniture, tell us the ceiling height and where the unit will sit. If it needs to be fixed to a wall, confirm drilling permission and share the wall material if you know it.

Assembly and handover checks

The fitter follows the instructions for your particular item and uses the specified components. Keep fittings from different pieces separate even if the screws look similar. For furniture with ladders, rails or anchoring requirements, have the manual to hand so you can review the model-specific instructions after assembly. Please check the manufacturer’s guidance on suitability and use.

At handover, check drawer movement, door swing and the furniture’s location with the fitter. If a component is damaged or absent, retain the carton label, take a clear photo and contact the retailer. Keep an incomplete piece out of use until the required part is fitted. Tell us if a wall or drilling permission prevents a required fixing so we can discuss whether that piece can be completed.

Prices depend on time and the number of fitters. One small desk may be straightforward, while a room with a bunk, matching storage and several drawers can involve more steps. The clearest quote comes from a list that includes the model, quantity, room and any dismantling or wall fixing. Tell us about room access or restricted working hours when you enquire.

What to include when you ask for a quote

Consider a room with a bunk bed, a study desk and a tall storage unit. Start the enquiry with the bed frame, rails and anchoring hardware. Add the complete product references and mark any components that are still with the retailer. If the longest bed carton has to turn on a small landing, say so before choosing a date. An item list without access information gives only part of the picture. The fitter also needs to know where the unopened packs are, which room they are going into and which route is clear.

If a rail or ladder pack is missing, identify which other pieces can be built separately. Contact the retailer with the carton reference, product number and a photo if the pack is damaged. Let us know if a replacement delivery has been booked. Where you need a return appointment, keep the replacement and the matching instructions together so the fitter can identify them quickly.

At handover, the adult responsible for the room should be available to confirm where the pieces belong and ask about anything that needs checking. Note which items are finished, which are waiting for parts and any restrictions on use in the meantime. Save the product references and manuals with your order confirmation. That makes it easier to identify a replacement fitting later and gives you a record of what was supplied and built.

Furniture for a room used by more than one child

Label each set of cartons by intended position, particularly if two desks or storage units look alike but are different sizes. Agree which areas need to stay clear for daily use, such as access to a wardrobe or a bedroom door. Before the fitter arrives, confirm where any old furniture and bedding will wait. If an existing bed has to remain usable until the replacement is complete, tell us at booking so we can discuss the sequence. Keep any spare parts and instructions in a labelled bag after handover. If the exact model is uncertain because the furniture was bought second-hand, send photos of its label, panels and existing hardware so we can discuss what can reasonably be assessed before a visit. Describe any previous damage or modifications when you enquire.
