Can you assemble furniture at a Bromley High Street address?
Yes, subject to the building and access arrangements. Tell us whether the work is on the pedestrianised part of the High Street and give the entrance we should use. If there is a separate loading point or delivery booking, send those details before we confirm the appointment.
What do you need to quote for several desks in BR1?
Give the full postcode, model references, quantities and a simple floor plan. Include any desk returns, cable trays and chairs supplied separately. Tell us the floor, lift details and the hours the room is available. If you need one workstation finished first, mark it on the plan.
Build and hand over each finished piece
Agree the working area before we sort fittings
The fitter checks the order against the boxes and identifies what can go in the planned positions. Keep the labels on separate packs until the fittings have been matched. Clear items off the old desk and move equipment out of the working area. If the same model comes in several widths, label the intended position on each carton so the wrong top does not go onto a frame.
Check the completed layout with the fitter
At the end, try drawers, doors and extension leaves and check that chairs and walkways still fit the agreed layout. If an essential fixing is missing or the retailer has sent the wrong component, retain the label and photograph it for the retailer. We can discuss whether the remaining pieces can be completed independently and what will need a return once the correct part arrives.
| Piece | What to check at handover |
|---|---|
| Desk | Return orientation and clear cable access |
| Dining table | Extension and chair clearance |
| Wardrobe | Door movement and clearance next to the wall |
Use the access route for your particular building
The central part of Bromley High Street between Market Square and Elmfield Road is pedestrianised. Bromley Council controls vehicle access to that section. If your premises front the pedestrian area, tell us where we can unload lawfully and whether the property has a service entrance. Do not rely on the road name or expect a fitter to drive through a bollard. Check the council’s current instructions if you are considering any restricted route.
The shopfront, office reception and residential entrance may have different doors. Give the exact building name or number, the floor and the entrance we should use. If a delivery bay is booked with building management, send the confirmed access period and any vehicle limits. Tell us whether the furniture has already reached your unit. The route for someone carrying tools can differ from the route for a long flat pack.
A collection or delivery appointment may need a separate plan. Find out where the retailer will leave the packs and who can sign for them. If deliveries are accepted at reception, arrange a clear place for the cartons before they arrive. Keep the carton labels visible and give us the longest and heaviest package dimensions. That lets us discuss moving them into the work area before confirming the visit.
Estimate the visit from the model list
Assembly is priced by time and by fitter. The number of cartons is only part of the job. A line of matching desks and a collection of different workstations require different checks. Tell us about timed building access, old items to dismantle and any separate delivery request. Ask us to confirm the likely labour and applicable rate before booking.
See assembly prices and office furniture assembly. If you need the cartons brought to the property, ask about collection and delivery.
Decide what needs building before opening the cartons
For a Bromley office or studio, list each desk, chair, drawer unit and shelving frame by model and quantity. Give the intended positions on a sketch if several items are going into the same space. Mark which desks are left or right returns and where sockets need to stay accessible. If work has to happen while staff are present, say which area can be cleared and which pieces you need first.
For a dining table, send the closed and extended dimensions, plus the number and type of chairs. Check the room with the chairs pulled out. An extending table can fit in its closed position and still hit a cabinet, wall or doorway once opened. If extra leaves or support fittings are in separate packages, keep them with the table. Confirm where the old furniture will go before the fitter starts.
For wardrobes and taller storage, tell us the ceiling height at the actual position, including any coving or beam. The assembled height alone does not tell us whether a frame can be raised from the floor. Send the product manual or model number for an upright build assessment. For furniture that requires anchoring, confirm drilling permission and the wall construction if known.

Make time for unloading and the actual appointment
An unloading permission does not usually answer where the fitter can park while assembling. Check both arrangements. On public roads, use the posted signs for the intended time and location. In a private building, confirm the rules with the manager. If there is a timed bay, tell us who can open it and whether we have to move the vehicle after the cartons and tools have been brought in.
If the address has a lift, measure the actual door opening and the clear space inside rather than using the passenger rating. Check whether the building expects a reservation and protective coverings. A large desk top or table carton can be longer than the assembled item looks in the catalogue. Check the route for turns between the lift, lobby and room as well as the lift itself.
If access is only available at certain times, send those hours before agreeing the appointment. Tell us when the furniture is expected, when it can be inspected and how long it may stay in a shared corridor or lobby. Keep emergency exits clear. Allow for an incomplete delivery, and ask what can still be assembled if one component is delayed.
Before you book in Bromley
Can a fitter use a delivery bay throughout the work?
Only if the building has authorised it for that period. Send the approved hours and where else the vehicle can park.
Can you assemble an extending table and chairs in one appointment?
Send the table model and the chair quantities. Keep any separately packed leaves and supports with the table.
Can you work around equipment in an office?
Move monitors, leads and personal items out of the build area first. Tell us which equipment cannot be moved.
What happens if the furniture is waiting in reception?
Tell us where it is, what access is available and whether the packs need to be taken up to another floor.
