Can you assemble a study desk and alcove storage in Nunhead?
Yes. Send the product references and dimensions of the desk and cupboard, together with the full SE15 postcode. Mark the desk position and any return, and measure the alcove at the top and floor. If you are moving in stages, say which room can be cleared for assembly first.
What access information helps with a Nunhead fitting visit?
Tell us where the vehicle can unload and where it can park during the build. If the route goes past a signed school street, check the current restrictions and provide an alternative entrance where available. Include stairs, any gate and the location of the unopened cartons in your enquiry.
Work through the room in the agreed order
Check the parts and leave access to the next piece
We confirm which items have their own parts and where each one is going. If an old desk needs dismantling, tell us in advance and remove equipment and paperwork first. For a cupboard with separate fronts, check the model label and keep its fittings together. A missing panel or hinge may mean that piece has to wait while the fitter works on a separate item.
Walk the layout before you start unpacking into it
At handover, check that the cupboard doors and desk drawers open with the other furniture in place. Try the normal route into the room and check the sockets you expect to use. If an essential fitting is missing, record its article number and contact the retailer. We can discuss which items are ready and whether a follow-up is needed.
| At handover | What to try |
|---|---|
| Cupboard | Door clears wall, skirting and adjacent desk |
| Desk drawers | Open without catching the chair or return |
| Wall restraint | Agreed position and required fixing checked |
Plan what needs to be ready first
If the household is moving in stages, decide when the study can be cleared and which cupboard or storage unit needs to be built before boxes can be unpacked. Tell us what has arrived at the address and what is still in transit. Arrange a place for the unopened cartons inside the property so they do not block the route to the rooms.
The first job may be to create usable storage without losing the space needed to build the next piece. If a cupboard needs the clear floor where the desk will stand, agree which unit to build first. If the existing desk must stay in use, show where its equipment and chair can wait while the fitter lays out the panels. Keep a short room list with quantities and model numbers rather than counting all cartons as one delivery.
For an order delivered on more than one date, compare the received cartons with the retailer’s list before booking. A desk might come as a top and frame, with a return or pedestal sold separately. A cupboard could have fronts or hinges in another pack. Tell us which complete pieces can be built independently. Keep any carton labels and delivery notes until the work has been checked.
Ask for an estimate based on what is ready
Assembly is estimated by time and fitter. Send the exact desk and cupboard models, their quantities and whether they have already reached the room. Separate any dismantling, carton handling or collection. If the job is split across moving days, explain which items are needed first and ask us to confirm the rate and minimum for each appointment.
See assembly prices and office furniture assembly. If you need the cartons brought to the property, ask about collection and delivery.
Measure the alcove for the door as well as the frame
Check the width at skirting level and higher up. A tall cupboard can fit in the space but leave too little clearance to open its door beside a chimney breast or desk. Measure the usable depth and note sockets, shelves or projections that could affect the position. Send the door type and the manufacturer’s instructions if you have them.
Draw the intended layout from above, including how far the cupboard door and desk drawers extend. Check the wall-to-wall dimensions at different heights if the floor or skirting is uneven. Measure the socket positions if a desk or cupboard will sit in front of them. Tell us which sockets need to remain accessible and whether the furniture is designed to be fixed to the wall.
A deep cupboard in a narrow room can limit access to the sides while it is being built. Clear a place to lay out the largest panels and keep small fittings with their own carton. If the wardrobe or cabinet is tall, check ceiling clearance near the intended position. Confirm permission before any required drilling, and explain what you know about the wall material.
Prepare the study and cupboard locations
- List cartons already at the Nunhead address.
- Mark which room can be cleared first.
- Measure the alcove and door swing separately.
- Check the permitted entrance, unloading point and parking.
| Planning detail | What to send |
|---|---|
| Study desk | Model, return side and required socket access |
| Alcove cupboard | Width at floor and top, depth and door style |
| Staged move | Cartons on site and furniture that must remain usable |
Check access on the route to your SE15 address
Southwark lists a school-street camera restriction at the Old James Street junction with Nunhead Lane. If your route passes through it, check the current signs and council guidance before arranging the visit. Tell us which entrance is approved and where the vehicle can unload and park afterwards. Use the full postcode rather than the district alone.
A short unloading stop and a longer parking stay can need different arrangements. Check the signs at the intended bay and any temporary notice. If the address is in a block with a private entrance, ask the person responsible for it which gate the fitter can use and whether a vehicle can remain there during the work. Give the door number and contact rather than only the closest junction.
If cartons are in a different room, tell us how far they have to travel and whether the largest one fits the doorway or stair turn. Keep exits and shared landings clear. If the furniture has been partly assembled before moving, send photographs of the joints and any loose hardware so we can assess what is needed before the visit.
Before you book in Nunhead
Can you build a desk before I move into my Nunhead flat?
Yes, if someone can admit the fitter and confirm the position. Send the model, room measurements and access details before booking.
Can a cupboard door open beside a chimney breast?
Send the cupboard and door measurements, including handles. Mark the chimney breast on a sketch and measure the space with the door open.
What should I tell you if some boxes are at my old address?
List what is at the appointment address and what still needs moving. The fitter can plan the work around complete items that have arrived.
How do I share a school-street restriction near my property?
Send the route and tell us the restrictions shown on the signs. If there is an alternative entrance, share it with the booking.
