Do you assemble home office furniture in St Margarets TW1?
Yes. Send the desk, chair and storage models, plus the room and floor where they will go. For a desk with a return, mark the side on a sketch. If the room doubles as a bedroom or study, tell us what has to remain accessible while we work.
What do you need to know about a separate upstairs entrance?
Give the correct door number, who can let the fitter in and the dimensions of the longest carton. Include any turning space on the stair or landing and whether the desk is already upstairs. Tell us about any private parking permission or restrictions on unloading at the address.
Prepare the stair route and desk layout
- Check the boxed desktop against both stair turns.
- Mark desk orientation and sockets.
- Keep workstation packs and accessories labelled.
- Clear an area for equipment and any old furniture.
| Access or layout detail | What to tell us |
|---|---|
| Separate front door | Door number, contact and route upstairs |
| Stair turn | Landing width and longest carton dimensions |
| Desk return | Side, model and clearance for chair movement |
Plan an upstairs workstation from the doorway
Measure the desktop in its carton and check the route through the front door, over the landing and into the intended room. A narrow stair can have a wide first flight and a tight turn at the top. If the property uses separate doors for the upper and lower flats, identify which one the fitter should use and how it will be opened.
Compare the longest diagonal you can move around the stair against the dimensions supplied by the retailer. Do not rely on the shape of an assembled desk, because its top may arrive as one solid panel. If the door opens inward, measure the approach with the door fully open and note whether a radiator or cupboard restricts the turn.
Arrange a place for laptops, cables and other equipment before the fitter arrives. If an existing desk has to be dismantled, identify it in the enquiry and remove loose items before work. Tell us if the old furniture is being stored for reuse. Label its fixings separately so they are not confused with the packets for the new build.
Arrange a clear route and a place to park
Tell us which entrance is closest to the room and where you can legally unload. If an entrance is shared, keep the hallway clear until the fitter is ready to carry the cartons. Check the signs at your proposed bay and confirm any private or managed arrangements before the appointment. Send the full postcode and tell us where the vehicle can stay after unloading.
If there is no space to stage long packs inside the property, tell us whether the retailer will deliver to the room. Avoid leaving boxes in communal doorways. Ask the person who manages the property about permitted times or entrances if the fitter needs access through shared space. Share those arrangements with us as part of the booking.
For a timed delivery, allow enough time to check every carton before the fitting appointment. If a missing pack stops the desk from being assembled, an independent chair or shelf may still be ready. Retain the retailer’s labels and send a photo of the missing or damaged part reference so we can discuss what can be completed.
Agree the desk orientation before opening the packs
For a corner desk, send the manufacturer’s plan and mark which side the return should sit on when you face the desk. Note the sockets, skirting and radiator position. If the desk goes into a recess, measure at desktop height as well as at floor level. Include the filing pedestal and any screen or cable tray that has its own product reference.
Check the height of any desk pedestal against the underside of the frame. A central bar or a motor assembly can limit the usable height even when the finished desk height looks generous. If a pedestal drawer opens towards the chair, leave enough room to pull it out. Mark where cables need to pass and whether the tray or screen is included in the order.
For a bookcase beside a desk, consider the door swing and chair position at the same time. The shelf may have manufacturer-specified anchoring. Tell us the wall material if known and confirm permission before drilling is needed. Make sure the floor area at the bookcase can be reached without shifting a newly built desk.
Put the desk in the agreed position, then test the room
Confirm where the large top is going
We check the desk and accessory references before deciding where to lay out the frame. With the intended orientation confirmed, we can keep access to a socket, radiator or doorway. Keep screens and monitors off the work surface until the fitter has finished and you have checked the stability and position.
Check the practical clearances
Open the pedestal drawers, move the chair and try the room door before reconnecting your equipment. If a shelf fixing or desk connector is missing, keep the label and report it to the retailer with the exact part reference. Ask which independent pieces can be finished while you wait for the replacement.
| Finished item | Handover check |
|---|---|
| Desk | Return matches layout and chair can move |
| Pedestal | Drawers clear the frame and desk leg |
| Bookcase | Check position and any required wall restraint |
Estimate the visit from the furniture and route
We use the model list, likely fitting time and number of fitters to estimate the work. Carrying a long top upstairs, adding a return or dismantling old furniture can affect the visit. Send the floor and room information with the item list and mention any limited access window. We can discuss parking and whether a separate collection arrangement is needed.
See assembly prices and office furniture assembly. If you need the cartons brought to the property, ask about collection and delivery.
Before you book in St Margarets
Can my new desk fit around the stair turn in St Margarets?
Send the boxed top dimensions and the landing measurements. A photo showing both flights is useful if the turn is hard to describe.
Can you put a return desk on the opposite side from the showroom model?
Send the model instructions and mark your preferred orientation. Some desks are reversible and some have a specific left or right frame.
What if I need my current desk until the new one is built?
Tell us what can be cleared beforehand and which workstation needs to stay accessible. We can discuss the sequence from the room plan.
Can I add a tall bookcase to a desk booking?
Yes, share the exact model and any fixing instructions, and confirm whether drilling permission is in place.
