What should I send for a Limehouse furniture assembly quote?
Send the furniture models, quantities and full E14 postcode. Tell us where the boxes are, which entrance is approved for the visit and whether there is a concierge or lift booking. If a table extends or a cabinet has large doors, include the dimensions with the moving parts open.
Can you build a dining set and sideboard in a small Limehouse flat?
We can discuss the build from your furniture list and room measurements. Mark the table at its largest size and show where the sideboard doors and drawers open. Tell us which area can be cleared first. If unopened packs cannot stay in a shared corridor, arrange a place inside the flat.
Plan the table and sideboard as a pair
Draw the table at its full size, including the chairs when pulled out. Mark how far the sideboard doors and drawers extend. A sideboard that looks fine against a wall can become difficult to use if the table sits in front of it. Decide where the biggest piece can be built, and whether a finished table would prevent the fitter reaching the cabinet panels.
Send the table model and identify any separately supplied extension leaves, bolts or supports. If you are ordering several chair styles, list the number of each. A bench and chair set can use different fasteners even when they are sold together. Keep the packaging and instructions until the fitter can match each set of hardware with its own furniture.
For a cabinet beside a dining set, mark any sockets or radiator controls that need to stay accessible. Check the skirting and note if the cabinet needs a wall restraint according to the instructions. Ask the landlord or building manager before drilling where permission is required. If the room is also used for work, tell us whether a desk must stay in use until another piece is ready.
Fit each piece where it will be used
Agree the build order with the room cleared
We check the item list, manufacturer’s instructions and position before laying out panels. If both pieces are large, we may need to assemble the cabinet before putting the table in place. Keep the fittings with the correct carton. If a wall fixing is required, tell us about the surface and permission before work begins.
Check movement and access before filling the furniture
Open the sideboard doors and drawers and try the table extension with the fitter. Check that the chairs can still move and that the route past the table is clear. If a component is missing, keep the product reference and contact the retailer. We can say which finished pieces are independent of the one waiting for parts.

Arrange the building access before the appointment
If your Limehouse building has a concierge, ask where deliveries and trades can enter. A visitor entrance may not be the one the retailer can use with a long carton. Give the fitter the flat number, floor, intercom details and any instructions for signing in. If you are still waiting for a booking confirmation from the building, say so when you request an estimate.
If the retailer will leave the order at reception, check whether your building permits the cartons to be held there and for how long. Do not assume the delivery driver will take everything to the flat. Compare the usable dimensions of the lift with the longest package and check the turn from the lift lobby to your door. Share the measurements if the route looks close.
Ask whether the same booking covers the fitting visit and the delivery. If separate timings apply, plan the build after there has been enough time to check the boxes. Tell us whether there is a different route from the loading bay to the service lift. For more than one delivery, keep the cartons labelled and group them by room.
Price the furniture and building access together
Assembly is charged by time and fitter. The number of chairs, the table mechanism and the cabinet fittings all affect the estimate. Mention concierge access, a timed loading bay or dismantling. If collection is needed, send the retailer branch and order details so we can discuss that separately. Ask us to confirm the hourly rate and minimum booking before choosing a date.
See assembly prices and kitchen and dining furniture assembly. If you need the cartons brought to the property, ask about collection and delivery.
Tell us where the vehicle can unload and park
Limehouse station is on Commercial Road in E14, but the outward code also covers other parts of east London. Send the full postcode and the entrance the building wants the fitter to use. If your building has a loading bay, ask how long it can be used and where the vehicle can go afterwards. On the street, check the local bay signs and any temporary restrictions.
If the appointment is at a property on a private access road or behind a gate, check who can open it and what times it is available. If the delivery vehicle cannot remain by the entrance, tell us where the cartons will be left and whether the fitter needs to carry them further. The approved loading point may be different from the place available for the rest of the visit.
Send photographs of a tight lift or stair turn from both directions, along with the actual measurements. Do not leave boxes against a fire door or across a shared landing. If a carton is damaged, photograph its label before opening it and keep it until the retailer advises you. Let us know which pieces can be worked on separately while a replacement is arranged.
Before you book in Limehouse
Can the fitter sign in through the concierge?
Yes, if your building allows it. Tell us who will be there, what identification is required and who can let the fitter into the flat.
How much room should I leave around the sideboard?
Allow space for its drawers and doors to open with the chairs in their normal positions. Send the model drawing if you are unsure which parts project.
Can a dining table be assembled while the sideboard cartons wait in the hallway?
Keep communal routes clear. Tell us where the unopened boxes can safely wait and which item needs the largest working area.
What if a replacement door is being delivered after the appointment?
Tell us which cabinet it belongs to and which other items are complete. We can discuss what can be finished first and whether a return visit is needed.
