Can you assemble tall bookcases in Wanstead E11?
Yes. Send your full E11 postcode, the bookcase model and the quantity. If you are comparing two walls, send measurements and a photo of each position. Tell us about the flooring, skirting and permission to fit any restraint required by the manufacturer.
What if a wall fixing cannot go where I want the cabinet?
Tell us what you know about the wall and send the cabinet’s assembly instructions. We can discuss another position before you book. The fitter needs to assess the intended wall and follow the manufacturer’s fixing requirements before the cabinet is ready for use.
Prepare both positions if the choice is still open
- Measure each wall and mark the bookcase depth.
- Check the room door, socket access and any nearby window.
- Confirm permission for the wall restraint where it is required.
- Put the labelled cartons in the room with enough space to work.
| Position detail | What to compare |
|---|---|
| Doorway | Opening direction and usable passage with the cabinet in place |
| Wall | Skirting, visible services and permission for a restraint |
| Floor | Uneven areas, hearths, carpet and adjustable feet if supplied |
Compare the two positions with the room in use
Measure the width and height of each wall where you are considering putting the bookcase. Mark the depth of the cabinet on the floor, including any space it needs behind it. Then open the nearest doors all the way. If the unit has doors, open them in your plan as well. Check that someone can still walk through the room with the bookcase in use.
Look at the nearest sockets, window catches, radiator controls and switches. A shelf that fits under a switch might still prevent you reaching it when it is filled with books. If the bookcase backs onto a socket, check whether you need to use the outlet. A photograph of each wall with the door open makes it easier to compare the positions before the visit.
Check the floor and skirting at both sites. A wide skirting board, uneven floor or feature such as a hearth may affect the unit’s position. If the floor slopes noticeably or the carpet is thick, tell us before you book. Give us the furniture model so we can check whether the maker provides adjustable feet and what it requires for securing the unit.
Prepare the route and working area before we arrive
Send your full Wanstead E11 postcode and tell us which door to use. If the street address leads to a shopfront or an entrance on a different floor, include directions for the assembly appointment. Check the route using the longest carton in your order. If boxes are still outside the room, say where they are and whether the retailer will move them to the intended floor.
Check the parking information for the actual street and time of your appointment. Use the signs at the address and tell us if there is a driveway, shared entrance or a better approach from another road. If you need to arrange a key for a communal door, do it before the appointment and give us the contact for the person who can open it.
After assembly, check the position with the fitter before filling the shelves. Open any doors or drawers, check that you can still get to the switches and test the room door. Follow the manufacturer’s limits for what can be put on each shelf. Keep the instructions and any spare shelf supports with the product reference so you can adjust the layout later.
Read the instructions for any required wall restraint
Check whether the manufacturer specifies a restraint or wall fixing. If you rent or the building has rules about drilling, get permission for the position you plan to use. Tell us what you know about the wall and show where any sockets or pipes are visible. The fitter needs to assess the location in person and use a suitable fixing in accordance with the furniture instructions.
If one position will not accept the required restraint, discuss the other position before we build the frame. Leave enough clear space to examine both walls. A bookcase is harder to move once it is full or assembled with several linked sections. If the product is designed to be fixed or connected in a particular order, tell us if one end sits against a wall or if it has to share a recess with another piece.
If you are ordering several units to stand together, send the width of each piece and the overall layout. Include the doors, feet, connecting fittings and inserts you want built. Decide whether shelves need to be aligned or staggered. Show the things you will keep in each bay, especially larger books or storage boxes, so you can use the adjustable positions that suit them.
Make the shelves useful before you fill them
Decide which shelves need extra height
Measure the books, document boxes or games you expect to store upright. Check how much room you need to reach over the top or grip a handle. If a cabinet has a fixed shelf, start with that and decide which of the adjustable positions can hold your taller pieces. Keep the spare supports in one place. Where the instructions specify load limits, use them when deciding where to store heavier items.
Check a cabinet beside a wall or another unit
Open the door as far as it needs to go and look for contact with the wall, the neighbouring cabinet or the door handle. Some hinges or drawer fittings need the outer door to swing beyond a right angle. Send a sketch of the arrangement if the cabinet is going into a recess. Include the width of the gap on both sides, measured above and below the skirting.
| Furniture component | What to include in your list |
|---|---|
| Frame | Exact size, colour and number of units |
| Doors or drawers | References, opening direction and separate fittings |
| Adjustable shelves | Quantity and the tallest items you need to store |
How we price a bookcase or storage visit
Send the exact models, quantities and any accessories you want fitted. Let us know where the cartons are and which floor the work is on. If the old furniture needs dismantling or a new unit needs wall fixing, give us those details before booking. If you are still choosing between two positions, tell us so we can discuss how to assess the options at the visit.
See assembly prices and IKEA furniture assembly. If you need the cartons brought to the property, ask about collection and delivery.
Before you book in Wanstead
Can you help me choose between two walls for the same bookcase?
Send the bookcase reference, measurements and photos of both sites. We can compare the usable dimensions and discuss the fixing and door clearance before the visit.
Can I put a tall shelf where it covers a radiator valve?
Measure where the valve sits and how it is operated. Choose a position that keeps the control accessible and follows the product maker’s clearance guidance.
Do you need me to clear both walls before arriving?
Clear the intended assembly space. If you want the fitter to review both positions, make both walls reachable and remove anything that hides the skirting or sockets.
Can I keep the cabinet doors off until I decide on the layout?
Tell us which product you have and which parts you want fitted. The instructions determine how the doors and other components can be installed and checked.
