Flat Pack MatesFlat pack furniture assembly in Tooting
We assemble flat-pack beds, wardrobes and other bedroom furniture in Tooting. If the cartons need to go up a narrow staircase, tell us which packs are longest and where the retailer has left them. We can discuss the route and agree which furniture should be built first when two large pieces share an upstairs room.

Can you assemble a bed and wardrobe in an upstairs room in Tooting?
Yes. Send the models, carton locations and a photo of the room and staircase. Tell us about the longest panels and any tight turn. We can quote for both items and discuss which build should go first so there is enough floor space for the frames.
What should I send if a wardrobe carton might not fit up my stairs?
Give us the pack dimensions and weight if shown, then measure the open front door, stair width and space at the tightest turn. Photos from below and above the corner help. Tell us if there is another authorised route before opening a pack that may need returning.
Decide which frame goes in first
If the bed and wardrobe share a room, mark both outlines on the floor. Allow for the space needed to put the wardrobe frame together and raise it if the instructions specify that method. A bed may be easiest to build last if it will occupy that working area. Tell us if you need the bed ready first and we can discuss options.
For a storage bed, show where the drawers open or how much space is above the lift-up platform. Include any wall shelf or window ledge that projects into the opening. Check the manufacturer’s mattress guidance if the platform has a lifting mechanism.
For a wardrobe, measure ceiling height at both ends and send the model and door type. Show the wall and skirting if the instructions require a restraint. Ask the property owner for permission where necessary before confirming the visit.
If you ordered a headboard separately, check whether its brackets and bolts are included with the headboard or the bed frame.
Build in the order that fits the room
Confirm which frame needs the clear floor
We identify the cartons for the first piece, check the agreed route and confirm the final positions. If a bedroom has little open floor space, we discuss the assembly sequence before unpacking. We can check any wall restraint and room requirements against the supplied instructions.
Check the furniture and path through the room
Open the wardrobe doors and the bed storage, then walk around the furniture with the room door open. If either piece has fittings you may change later, keep the manual and spare hardware in separate bags. This also helps identify the original parts if you move house.
| Access point | What to send |
|---|---|
| Staircase | Width and any low points |
| Landing | Turning space and door swing |
| Parking bay | Applicable restrictions and permitted unloading |
Get the staircase and bedroom ready
- Measure the tightest stair turn
- Keep mirrors and panels protected
- Leave floor area for the larger build
- Confirm legal stopping and entry for the address
| Bedroom item | What to check |
|---|---|
| Wardrobe | Tallest panel, ceiling and wall restraint |
| Storage bed | Drawer or platform opening |
| Bedside cabinet | Clearance beside the finished frame |
Measure each obstacle on the upstairs route
Record the length, width and depth of the largest box. Measure the usable stair width, the room to turn at the landing and the bedroom opening with the door fully open. Show any low ceiling, stair rail or fixed cupboard beside the turn. Width on its own tells us little about the space needed to rotate a long panel.
If the retailer supplies a carton weight, share it for the larger packages. Let us know where the cartons are now and whether they are split between rooms. Please discuss any carrying between floors before the booking so we can agree the work and understand whether the route is suitable.
Keep mirror doors or long finished panels in the packaging recommended by the retailer. Send photos of any damage with the labels visible. Tell us if one box is waiting for a return or replacement so we can keep it separate from the pieces being assembled.
Quote for the models and upstairs access
Send the full product list, including separate accessories and hardware packs. We consider the quantity, furniture type and access. Tell us if old pieces need dismantling, long cartons are still downstairs or a wall restraint needs permission. We can confirm what the visit includes before you book it.
See assembly prices and See bedroom furniture assembly. If you need the cartons brought to the property, ask about collection and delivery.
Confirm which Tooting bay you can use
Wandsworth lists different parking subzones across Tooting and event controls for part of Tooting Broadway. Check the exact road, appointment date and signs. Give us the full postcode and the entrance to use. If unloading and longer parking are in different locations, describe both and the route to the door.
If your flat is above shops or a shared hallway serves more than one property, name the door and bell that take us to your room. Tell us about any delivery access that is unavailable at certain times. Do not leave large cartons on a shared landing or near a fire exit.
Ask about dismantling if old furniture occupies the only place to assemble the new frames. Send photos of the old unit and its fixing points. If you want to reuse it, mention any damaged joints and decide where the panels can be stored while the new build goes ahead.
Before you book in Tooting
Can a bed be built before the wardrobe in a small room?
Send the room dimensions and both models. The best order depends on which piece needs the largest clear floor area during assembly.
Can I unpack the long panels downstairs to get them around the stairs?
Ask before opening them. Send the model and dimensions, particularly if the carton protects a mirror or finished panel and may still need returning.
Does a low ceiling over the stairs affect the carry?
It can restrict the angle needed to turn a long pack. Send a photo with the height and clear width at the lowest point.
Can I leave an old bed in place while a new wardrobe is built?
Show us the room and tell us how much floor space is clear. If the old frame needs dismantling, list it separately in the enquiry.
Where should I leave the bed hardware before the appointment?
Keep it with the matching frame, with the retailer’s labels and instructions. Move loose fittings away from the stairs and shared entrance.
