Can you build a compact office setup in Perivale UB6?
Yes. Send the desk, bookcase and any filing unit or chair references. Include the room layout, floor and full postcode. Tell us whether the room must remain partly usable during the visit and which furniture should be built first, especially if the floor space is limited.
How should I measure the room entrance for a long desktop?
Compare the boxed desktop with the narrowest doorway and the turn immediately inside and outside it. Take measurements with the door fully open and note anything that projects into the route. Give us the carton dimensions and tell us whether it is already in the room.
Estimate the furniture and any dismantling together
Send the furniture references, quantity and access information. Assembly is charged by time and by fitter, and dismantling or moving long packs may affect the estimate. Mention the parking arrangement and any request for separate collection. If you have several items that can be used independently, flag which ones matter most on the day, so we can discuss options if a carton has not arrived.
See assembly prices and office furniture assembly. If you need the cartons brought to the property, ask about collection and delivery.
Measure from the hallway into the work room
Measure the door opening with the door fully open and note the turning space on either side. The longest desktop carton can be awkward to turn from a narrow hall into a side room. Share a photograph from both directions if the route is difficult to describe. Include any doorway, fixed cupboard or radiator that reduces the usable turning area.
If the desktop arrives in one solid piece, the frame may be much easier to carry than the top. Check the packed length rather than the finished height. Leave the carton somewhere it can be picked up without obstructing an exit. If the passage is shared, confirm whether the retailer can bring it indoors and who will meet the fitter.
The room door may open towards the intended desk position. Check whether the chair or a filing unit will prevent it opening fully. A sketch with the direction of the door swing and the nearest sockets is often enough to spot a clash before the visit. Tell us if the desk will go under a sill or beside a radiator.
Check the furniture in its working position
Start with the model instructions and room plan
We confirm which pieces are ready and where they are going. Show us any socket, radiator control or cabinet door you need to keep accessible. If the shelving needs a manufacturer-specified wall restraint, discuss the wall and permission in advance. We can then agree the build order before laying out the parts.
Test the room before reconnecting equipment
At handover, check that the chair can move, drawers open and the room door is clear. Ask about anything that catches before putting equipment on the desk. If an essential fitting is missing, save the label and request the correct replacement from the retailer. We can discuss whether another independent piece can be finished meanwhile.
| At handover | Check together |
|---|---|
| Desk | Position allows access to sockets and room door |
| Chair | Room to move back and reach the shelving |
| Storage | Doors and drawers open with the chair in place |
Keep chair movement in the plan
Draw the desk and shelving where they will stand, then mark the space used by the chair while you work. A bookcase can extend past the desk and limit how far you can roll the chair back. Note any lower drawers or doors that open into that area. If the room is also a spare bedroom, include the bed or sofa bed in the plan.
For a small desk and a deep bookcase, decide what needs to be within reach while seated. A shelf placed behind the chair might be easy to use when standing and difficult to reach while working. Mark the drawer travel and the clearance for your legs if a pedestal is going underneath. Give us the underside height if the pedestal was bought separately.
Send model numbers for any cable tray or screen that has its own pack. Take the old equipment off the desk before work and plan a temporary place for it. We assemble the furniture in the agreed position. Arrange separately for work on sockets, network cabling or other electrical fittings if those need to be changed.
Check where tools and cartons can be brought in
Confirm the legal unloading and parking arrangements at your address. Tell us if a driveway is available or if the work room is reached through a shared entrance. The retailer and fitter may need different arrangements. Send the full postcode and the location of any long cartons already delivered so we can discuss the actual route.
If you plan to keep an old desk until the new one is assembled, say where it will stand during the build. In a single small room it may leave too little floor for the panels. We can discuss a sequence, including dismantling if you request it. Empty the old drawers and keep their fittings separate from the new hardware.
Tell us whether all the cartons arrived together. If the bookcase and desk are both present but the cable tray is delayed, list it separately. A missing structural connector has a different effect from a missing accessory. Save the relevant order and carton references if you need to ask the retailer for a replacement.
Prepare the working layout before delivery
- Measure the doorway and the immediate turn.
- Draw the chair in its normal working position.
- List the desk accessories by model.
- Clear the old desk and mark the furniture locations.

Before you book in Perivale
Can a Perivale fitter build my desk and shelves in the same room?
Send both models and a sketch with the chair and door in use. We can agree which piece should be assembled first.
Can you use my side entrance instead of the hall?
Tell us if the route is permitted and measure the gate, doorway and any turns. Check the boxed desktop against both routes.
What should I do with the existing desk and equipment?
Clear loose equipment and let us know if the old desk needs dismantling. Say which pieces must be saved for reuse.
What if the bookcase door interferes with the desk chair?
Send a sketch before assembly. Show the door swing and the space the chair needs to move, then agree the furniture positions with the fitter.
