Can I book one visit for furniture from several shops in Leytonstone?
Yes. Send your full E11 postcode and the exact product link or model number for each piece. Include separate doors, legs or drawer packs in the list where they were ordered separately. Check which cartons have arrived and tell us if an item is waiting on another delivery.
What should I do if a storage unit has a missing fitting?
Keep the box label and the instructions, then look up the missing part in the manufacturer’s parts list. Tell us which unit is affected and which other items are complete. We can discuss whether the rest of your furniture can be built while you arrange the replacement.
Make the furniture easy to use once the boxes are gone
Decide which shelves need regular access
Measure the taller things you need to store, including their handles or lids. Put frequently used items on a shelf that you can reach without removing anything else. If you use drawers inside a cabinet, check that the outer door opens far enough to pull them out. Tell us if a wall or another cabinet limits how far the doors can open. The actual positions available depend on the furniture’s fittings.
Check that the units work together at floor level
If a low cabinet sits beside a tall bookcase, look at the skirting and floor where the two meet. The cabinets may have different feet or need different spacing from the wall. Check the position against the nearest door and any projecting handle. If you want the tops or fronts aligned, include a photo and the product dimensions with your enquiry so we can discuss what is possible.
| If this happens | What to do before the visit |
|---|---|
| Part is missing | Keep the label and tell us which unit cannot be completed |
| Two packs look alike | Match the item references to your order before opening |
| Cartons are on different floors | Confirm where each set is and how it will reach its room |
Match the cartons to the furniture before the visit
If you ordered furniture from more than one retailer, make a list of the pieces by room. For each one, note the model, colour, size and the number of cartons the retailer expects. Keep the supplier’s label visible. Two drawers ordered for different cabinets can look almost identical in their boxes, so match the item numbers before assuming either set is interchangeable.
A delivery note often lists boxes separately even though they form one item. For a wardrobe, check for the frame, doors, hinges and any internal drawers or rails. For a sideboard, there may be separate legs or a top panel in another parcel. If an item is marked as shipped but has not arrived, check with the retailer and tell us what is outstanding before you confirm a time.
Put the boxes for each finished piece in the room where it will go. If you have to leave some boxes downstairs, say where they are and what route they need to take. Send the full E11 postcode and explain how to reach your entrance. For an upper flat, check the narrowest part of the staircase using the longest package dimensions from the order.
How we quote a mixed retailer order
We price the visit from your list of finished items, their exact models and any separately ordered parts that need fitting. Let us know if the cartons are already in the rooms, whether there are stairs and if the plan involves fixing a unit to the wall. If part of the order has yet to arrive, tell us so we can discuss whether to book one visit or tackle the complete pieces first.
See assembly prices and IKEA furniture assembly. If you need the cartons brought to the property, ask about collection and delivery.
Choose the final storage layout before the larger pieces are built
Work out what will go in each piece and measure the items you already own. An adjustable shelf may still have to sit at one of a set of drilled positions. A shelf with enough width might be too shallow for a record sleeve or awkward to reach behind an open door. Have the biggest object to hand if you want to check clearances with the fitter.
For tall storage, measure the ceiling height where the cabinet is going, as well as the floor available to build the frame. Show us coving, skirting, sockets or other fixed features that could affect how the unit sits. If the product needs anchoring, tell us what you know about the wall and whether you have permission. The fitter needs to check the location before fitting it.
A storage wall that combines separate ranges can have different depths and door swings. Measure the space in front as well as the wall length. If the left door of one unit opens towards a taller cabinet, check where the hinge and handle will end up. Tell us if the pieces need to line up visually so we can review their dimensions and the available positions with you.
Make a short list for each room
- Write down the retailer and model for each finished piece.
- Check parcel numbers against the order before the appointment.
- Measure the intended wall and note sockets, skirting and door swings.
- Give us the full E11 postcode, the floor and any access instructions.
| Furniture | Details to include |
|---|---|
| Wardrobe | Frame, doors, hinge kit and interior layout |
| Sideboard | Top, base or legs, drawers and wall fixing if required |
| Storage wall | Depth, door swing and where separate cabinets meet |
Keep the useful parts of the visit moving if an item is incomplete
If a fitting is missing, check the manual for its part number and keep the packaging label. Send the retailer the information it needs to identify the replacement. Where other pieces are complete, tell us which you would like built first. We can discuss the best order once we know whether the missing part prevents one unit being finished or affects other pieces that connect to it.
If more than one person is receiving deliveries, agree where each order will be stored. A separate accessory box can end up with the wrong stack if a neighbour or another member of the household takes it in. Ask them to leave the original labels on. When the fitter arrives, show which cartons are intended for the visit and explain anything you have already opened.
At handover, check that each door, drawer and shelf works for the items you plan to store. Put spare components in separate labelled bags for each product. Keep the relevant manuals and any wall-fixing information together. If a piece is waiting on a replacement component, leave its parts in one location and agree with the fitter how the space can be left while you speak to the retailer.
Before you book in Leytonstone
Can I give you a spreadsheet for a mixed furniture order?
Yes. Include one row per finished piece and list the accessory or parcel numbers beside it. Note any units where the door or interior finish differs.
Will a missing sideboard handle hold up my wardrobe assembly?
Tell us exactly what is missing and whether the units are separate. We can discuss completing independent pieces while the retailer arranges the replacement.
Should I throw away the cartons if all the panels look fine?
Keep the box labels until you have checked each item and its fittings. Follow the retailer’s instructions if it requires packaging for returns or part replacements.
Can you fit a wardrobe interior I bought after the frame?
Send both model references and the interior layout. Include a photo of the current frame if it has been built, along with the inside width and depth.
