What does Flat Pack Mates need for a Paddington W2 booking?
Send the full postcode, article numbers and the approved building entrance. Tell us the floor, lift access and where the unopened furniture is stored. If reception or a resident needs to let us in, give the appropriate contact. Include parking or unloading limits before we agree a visit.
How should I plan a wardrobe and home office in a small Paddington room?
Share the wardrobe height and desk dimensions, including a return or separate pedestal. Mark the sockets and door swing on a sketch, and identify which piece needs to stay in use. If the room cannot hold both open packs, tell us what area can be cleared before the fitter arrives.
Estimate by the item list and access at the property
We estimate assembly by time and fitter. A desk with a return and accessories can take longer than a straight desk, and wardrobe height and interior fittings affect staffing. Tell us about any timed access or dismantling. If collection is needed, send the retailer information separately. Confirm the rate and minimum visit before arranging the appointment.
See assembly prices and office furniture assembly. If you need the cartons brought to the property, ask about collection and delivery.
Give the property entrance for a W2 booking
Paddington station’s Praed Street address is a useful location reference, but the fitter needs the actual building entrance and full postcode. Some properties have a separate service door or an access route through a courtyard. Ask the building which door can be used and who can admit the fitter, especially if the boxes arrive before you do.
Give the flat number and the entrance instructions rather than the nearest landmark alone. Check if the building requires a contractor name or time slot for the visit. If the door is locked between the parking point and the lift, tell us who can open it. Give a contact who can also confirm where each item belongs once the fitter reaches the room.
If there is no lift, check stair landings and doorways before the retailer arrives. Long cartons can be awkward around a bend even when there is enough space to walk through. Tell us whether the retailer will bring the items to the flat or just to the building door. If cartons need to be carried further, mention it on the enquiry.
Set the room up for the build and the final checks
Check how the two pieces fit together
We check the models and intended positions before unpacking. A wardrobe can take up much of the floor during assembly, so the desk may need to wait until the frame is standing. Tell the fitter where existing equipment must stay and whether the wardrobe door could open into the work area. For a chest or desk pedestal, leave room to test each drawer.
Confirm what can be finished if parts are missing
At handover, check the wardrobe doors, desk position and drawer travel. If a retailer has missed a panel, bracket or pack, record the article number and keep the labels. Let us know if the replacement will arrive on a separate date. We can discuss which complete items can be finished before that and whether you need a further visit.
| Furniture | Handover check |
|---|---|
| Desk and return | Orientation and access to sockets |
| Pedestal | Drawer opens without hitting the frame |
| Wardrobe | Doors and interior fittings clear the room |
Measure a wardrobe carton and desktop separately
A desk frame may come in short packs while the desktop arrives as one long piece. A wardrobe can need both a long carton route and extra space to raise the frame. Measure the lift door and usable depth, then check the turns between the entrance and room. Tell us if the boxes have already reached the correct floor.
For an L-shaped desk, mark the return side as you face it and include a plan or manufacturer’s drawing. Check the available width at desktop height where there is skirting, a projecting radiator valve or a recessed window. If you plan to add a cable tray or screen, include the part numbers because those items can be sold separately.
For a wardrobe, measure ceiling height at each end of the intended position and check how far hinged doors will swing. A tall frame may fit upright while needing additional room to tilt up from the floor. If the manufacturer calls for wall fixing, confirm permission and share the wall material if known. Keep the cartons and fasteners for each frame together.
Plan unloading around the building’s rules
If your property has an approved delivery bay, check whether it is available for a fitter’s vehicle during the appointment. On the street, read the signs at the intended space and check for temporary restrictions. Westminster’s parking information is useful for addresses in the borough. The arrangements for a station pickup, a retailer delivery and a fitting visit can be different.
For a separate furniture delivery, confirm where the retailer will leave the boxes and how long they can stay there. The building may require the delivery to be received by a resident even when a fitter can sign in independently. If a timed lift or loading bay is needed, allow a gap between delivery and assembly to check the labels against the order.
Tell us if the best parking space is a walk from the entrance or if the building has a height limit. If you are replacing a desk, remove equipment and paperwork before the visit and tell us whether dismantling is needed. Keep the old workspace clear until the fitter has tested the new drawers and confirmed the desk is in the agreed position.

Before you book in Paddington
Can you build my wardrobe and desk in a Paddington flat on one visit?
Yes, if the items and room access can be agreed. Send both models, the ceiling height for the wardrobe and the position of the desk.
What if the lift opens directly onto a narrow corridor?
Measure the lift door, the corridor width and the first turn. Send the longest pack dimensions and a photograph if the route is close.
Should I book a loading slot for the fitter if my boxes are already upstairs?
Ask the building which arrangements apply to visitors carrying tools. Tell us where the vehicle can park even if no furniture needs unloading.
Can I keep my existing workspace until the wardrobe is built?
Tell us which desk must stay in use and where the new packs can wait. We can discuss which piece should be built first.
