Flat pack furniture assembly in Streatham

We assemble flat-pack wardrobes, bookcases and storage in Streatham. If your furniture is going on more than one floor, send a list by room and tell us where the cartons have been left. We can arrange the work so the route between floors stays clear and the larger pieces go together before smaller units fill the room.

Can you assemble furniture on two floors in Streatham?

Yes. Send the model list by room and floor, and say where the cartons are now. Tell us about tight stairs, shared entrances and any furniture that needs moving or dismantling first. We can quote for the agreed items and confirm which room to start in.

Do you need to know what my new shelving will hold?

Tell us if you are planning to store books, files or other heavy items. Check the product’s shelf load and any instructions for fixing the frame to the wall. Send the model and the wall details so we can discuss the proposed location before the visit.

Organise the furniture by room and floor

  • Mark each carton with the intended room
  • Measure the stair turn for the longest pack
  • Send the instructions for any wall fixing
  • Keep the shared entrance and landing clear

Put the longest cartons on the right floor

Ask the retailer which boxes hold the side panels or shelf uprights and note where they have been left. Measure the tightest stair corner and the opening into the intended room. Leave the pack numbers visible, particularly if both floors will have furniture from the same range.

Tell us when you request a quote if the long cartons are still downstairs. Send the carton size and weight from the label or the retailer listing. If one package cannot travel to the room by the intended route, discuss access before opening it or assuming that the panels can be carried separately.

If the retailer delivered duplicate frames for different rooms, mark where each is going with a removable note. Keep the bags for each wardrobe and shelving unit separate. Put matching spare inserts or hardware in the room where you expect them to be fitted.

Keep the stairs usable

Move books, loose hardware and spare cartons away from the landing. If the top of the stairs is tight, leave room to turn into each bedroom. For a flat or maisonette with a shared door, send the correct bell and explain which part of the staircase is shared before you book.

Lambeth publishes information about bays and parking in Streatham. Check your particular street and the signs at the bay, especially near a borough boundary. Send the full SW16 address and explain where unloading is permitted if it differs from parking for the rest of the visit.

If there is an existing unit on the stairs or in the room, tell us whether you want it dismantled. Send photos showing how it is fixed and where you want the parts left. An alternative place for old panels helps keep the landing usable during assembly.

Decide which wall each shelf will use

Photograph the intended walls, including sockets, skirting and anything that projects into the space. Give us the dimensions of the units and what you plan to put on the shelves. Check the manufacturer’s instructions for wall restraint or wall mounting, and confirm that you have permission where it is needed.

For a tall wardrobe, measure ceiling height and any alcove return at both ends. If one room has a slope or deep trim, send the dimensions and the manufacturer’s fitting requirements. Show us any socket that must remain usable once the frame is in place.

If the shelving needs to sit above furniture or mount directly to a wall, include the instructions and the fixing height. Wall-mounted work is a separate detail to agree, particularly when you do not know the wall material or need the property owner’s permission.

For shelving on both floors, decide where adjustable shelves should sit before the furniture goes into place. Measure your tallest book or storage box and allow some space above it so you can remove it without disturbing the row above.

Check the order and room access

We match the cartons to the room list and confirm the build order. Larger frames may need open floor area that smaller finished pieces would occupy. If a required pack is missing or on another floor, we discuss which agreed build can go ahead while the route is available.

Check the fittings and route at handover

Open the wardrobe doors and check shelf positions before moving books or clothing back. Walk the route from the landing with the room door in normal use. Keep the instructions and spare fittings for each item in separate labelled bags so you can identify the parts later.

Price the two-floor item list

We quote using the furniture models, quantities, fittings and access. Send separate lists for each floor and identify any restraints or old furniture to discuss. If some cartons are still downstairs, include their size and where they are going. We can confirm what the agreed visit covers before you book.

See assembly prices and flat pack furniture assembly. If you need the cartons brought to the property, ask about collection and delivery.

Before you book in Streatham

Should I leave every carton by the front door?

Keep the route clear and put cartons in their intended rooms where practical. Tell us if the larger ones still need to go upstairs.

Can you put bookcases from the same range on different floors?

Yes. Mark the intended rooms and keep shelf kits with the correct frames, particularly if the heights or depths differ.

What if the wardrobe has to go past a bannister turn?

Measure the longest carton and take photos of the stair and landing. Share these before booking if there is little room to change direction.

Do I need to clear every room at once?

Tell us which rooms are ready and when the others will be available. Keep the route to the first build free of boxes and furniture.

Will you fit shelving directly to the wall?

Send the shelf model and installation instructions, plus photos and wall details if known. We can discuss wall mounting and permission when quoting.
