What information do you need for IKEA PAX in Richmond?
Send the IKEA planner drawing and the full list of article numbers, including doors, hinges, rails and drawers. Measure the ceiling at the intended wardrobe position and tell us about skirting, coving or a slope. Include the postcode, floor and whether the wall fixing has already been agreed.
Do you collect and assemble IKEA furniture in Richmond?
We can discuss collection and assembly together. Send the retailer branch, order confirmation and the address where the furniture is going. Tell us about unloading, stairs and lift access. The two services are priced separately, and we can confirm availability after checking the items and postcode.
Measure above the frame as well as beside it
A wardrobe may fit under the ceiling when standing but still need extra height to tilt into place. Measure at the intended position and note any coving, sloping ceilings or uneven flooring. For a long run, check the height at each end and send the smallest figure. If wall fixing is required, confirm drilling permission and share any information you have about the wall.
Check whether drawers can be opened with the doors in the intended position. A wardrobe at the end of a wall can have restricted door swing if there is an adjacent bookcase or radiator. If you plan to put a bed near it, allow for the open wardrobe doors and for the bed drawers. Share a room sketch when the layout is tight.
Tell us how the longest panels reach the room. In a house with a narrow turn, carrying an assembled unit upstairs may not be possible even if the individual cartons fit. If the furniture is still boxed downstairs, mention that in the quote request. Keep labels visible and put the matching fittings with the panels.
Build the frames, then check the layout
Confirm where the interiors go
We confirm the position and layout before fitting the internals. If drawers and baskets are packed separately, keep their labels with the correct frame. For tall furniture, tell us in advance about any fixings required by the instructions. The build method depends on ceiling clearance, space to handle the panels and the manufacturer’s directions.
Finish the pieces that can be completed
At handover, try the drawers and doors and check the intended shelf positions. If a front or rail is missing, retain the label and ask the retailer for the correct part. A missing part may stop a specific section from being used. We can discuss whether separate units can be completed while you arrange a replacement, and what a follow-up would involve.

Send the PAX layout and purchase list
The planner image tells us where each frame, rail and drawer belongs, while the order tells us what has actually been purchased. Send both. Include the doors, hinges and internal packs that arrived separately. If you have already changed a configuration, note where the change is needed. Clear the room sufficiently to lay out each frame and keep the labels visible until every component is checked.
Keep the planner export and the order confirmation available on the day. The planner describes the intended arrangement and the confirmation shows the items actually bought. If they differ, identify any changes before the fitter opens the packs. Two frames of the same width can take different fittings when one has drawers and the other has baskets.
Send separate references for any doors or hinges purchased after the main order. If the wardrobe has parts from an older set, give the article numbers for the original frame and new components. The fitter can check the available instructions. Do not assume an old rail or hinge fits a new frame just because the range name is the same.
Request an estimate for the whole IKEA order
Send the planned frames, doors and interiors together. Assembly is priced by time and by fitter. The height of the frames, number of interiors and method for getting the panels into position affect the estimate. If you also want furniture collected, give us the retailer and invoice details so that we can discuss that service separately. Ask us to confirm the arrangement and rate before booking.
See assembly prices and IKEA furniture assembly. If you need the cartons brought to the property, ask about collection and delivery.
Choose a parking or unloading option
Check the signs for your street and whether there is off-street access. Richmond Council explains how parking bay suspensions work in controlled zones. A private forecourt or building car park can have its own rules. If you are arranging a separate furniture collection, share the unloading arrangements and the route from the vehicle to the room.
The closest usable space may be in a different street from the entrance. Send the route and say if a side or rear entrance can be used. Check the bay signs, including any temporary restrictions. If you have permission to use a building’s private bay, tell us whether it is available just for unloading or throughout the visit.
If arranging retailer collection as well, wait for confirmation that the order can be released and has all its cartons. Give the branch and collection details, and include the address and floor for the assembly. A delivery slot and build slot may need to be planned separately if access to the property is time limited.
Before you book in Richmond
What should I send for a PAX wardrobe?
Send the planner layout, complete article list, ceiling height and door type. Add a photo of the wall and skirting.
Can the wardrobe be assembled upright?
That depends on the model instructions, ceiling clearance and room for the fitters. Send your measurements so we can assess it.
Can you change the shelf positions later?
Tell us which positions you want before the build. Later changes depend on the system and the available access to the fittings.
Does furniture collection include assembly?
Collection and assembly are separate charges. Ask for both if you want us to plan the two parts together.
