Flat Pack MatesFlat pack furniture assembly in Finchley
Sliding wardrobe doors save opening room beside the bed, but the tracks, panels and interior drawers still need the right clearances. We assemble flat-pack wardrobes and storage in Finchley. Send the exact frame and door system with a photo of the wall. We can discuss the fitting order, access and any manufacturer-required restraint before your visit.

Can you fit a sliding-door wardrobe in Finchley N3?
Yes. Send the frame and door models, the retailer’s layout and the height of the room. Include the track, inserts and any separate drawer kits. We can quote for the complete build and discuss whether the chosen position leaves enough clearance for the doors and the manufacturer’s wall fixing.
What do I measure if a sliding wardrobe goes in an alcove?
Measure the width of the alcove at the top, middle and base, then check the ceiling at both ends. Include skirting depth and any other obstruction. Check the model’s fitting instructions for track and door clearance, and send the dimensions with a photo of the alcove.
Lay out the storage behind the openings
Decide where the most-used drawers or baskets will go. Check which part of the frame is exposed when each sliding door moves and where the fronts overlap. If the planner shows a drawer near the middle of the wardrobe, confirm that the opening is wide enough for it to come forward fully.
Send the retailer’s layout before the visit if you have one. Include any pull-out trays, dividers or soft-close parts that came in extra boxes. Some interior pieces use dedicated rails or stops. Checking their model numbers in advance is quicker than identifying similar metal runners after the cartons have been opened.
If the wardrobe will be shared, confirm who uses each side and where longer clothes will hang. Check the reach of top shelves, especially if there is a mirror on one of the doors. We can discuss the supplied options while the fitting holes remain accessible.
Check the fit in the room
Confirm what goes behind each door
We check the frame, tracks and internal fittings against the order. With the wardrobe position agreed, we follow the manufacturer’s sequence for the frame and its inserts. If the opening makes a planned drawer awkward, we can discuss compatible positions before the door system is finished.
Try each door and drawer
Move the doors along their full travel and check access to drawers and hanging areas. Show us how you expect to use the layout, including any items you will store at the outer edges. Keep the manual handy for any future changes to shelving and the door system.
| Room feature | Information to send |
|---|---|
| Recess | Width at the floor, middle and top |

Prepare for the sliding wardrobe fit
- Retain the door and track carton labels
- Measure the alcove at several heights
- Decide where drawers sit behind the door openings
- Check the route for any long rails and mirror cartons
| Part | What to check |
|---|---|
| Sliding door | Door height and fitment clearance |
| Track | Frame size and carton number |
| Internal drawer | Full extension when the doors are open |
Measure the frame and the door system
Check the frame height, the wardrobe width and the height needed to fit its doors. Measure the ceiling in more than one place. Send details of any coving, ceiling slope or boxed-in pipe close to the wardrobe. The frame might fit within the room while the door fitting procedure needs more clearance.
Check whether the tracks are packed with the door fronts or delivered separately. List each set on the order, especially if you changed door finish or frame width after the initial plan. Leave matching door hardware with its own package until we can confirm which set goes together.
If you are using a recess, give its width at the top, middle and floor. Photograph the left and right returns as well as the back wall. A skirting board, radiator valve or socket can limit where the frame sits. Tell us if a wall attachment is specified and you need permission before drilling.
What affects the sliding wardrobe quote
We quote for the specific frame, door mechanism, accessories and access. A wardrobe with several pull-out fittings or mirror panels takes different work from an open frame. Include separate units, any wall fixing needed and whether the cartons are upstairs. We can confirm the agreed work and any separate requests before the appointment.
See assembly prices and See IKEA furniture assembly. If you need the cartons brought to the property, ask about collection and delivery.
Leave a clear route for the door panels
Look at the label for the longest and widest carton, particularly for a mirror door or a rail. Compare it with the stair turns and the door into the room. Finchley Church End Library is in N3. East and North Finchley have different districts, so use the full postcode when sending your property and parking details.
Avoid resting heavy or mirrored panels upright where they could be knocked. Keep them stored as directed by the retailer and let us know if they are on another floor. Leave the labels visible so we can identify the door packs without opening every box.
For a converted property, tell us whether the external door and the entrance to your flat face different streets. Check local bay signs and give the permitted stopping location. If parking is separate from unloading, tell us about both points and any stairs between the entrance and the room.
Before you book in Finchley
Should I count the sliding tracks separately on my list?
Include the track kit number if it appears as a separate line, along with the frame and doors. It helps us check that you have the right parts for the ordered width.
Can two wardrobe drawers sit behind the same sliding door?
Send the planner layout and drawer sizes. Check that the open part of the wardrobe gives both drawers their full travel without contacting a door or handle.
What if my Finchley wardrobe will cover a socket?
Point out the socket in the room photo and tell us whether it needs to stay usable. Discuss a different position before assembly if the wardrobe would block it.
Should I unpack a mirrored door before the fitter comes?
Keep it in the original packaging unless the retailer gives different instructions. Send a photo of the label and any signs of damage.
Can I add shelving inside after the doors are installed?
Check the model instructions for compatible parts and whether they can go through the door opening. Share your plan while booking if you already know which shelves you want.
