Do you assemble wardrobes in Woodford IG8?
Yes. Send your full IG8 postcode, the wardrobe model and the layout you want. Include the frame, doors and all separately ordered fittings. If you are changing an existing unit, give us the original model reference or photos showing its labels, hinges and inside panels.
Can I change the doors without replacing the whole wardrobe?
It depends on the condition and model of the frame and whether the new doors use compatible fittings. Send the existing frame reference, new door link and photos of the current hinges. We can review the information before the visit and check the frame before starting work.
Identify the frame you already have
Look for the original order confirmation, instruction booklet or a label inside the frame. Send the article number if you find it. Two units can have the same outside width and height with different hole spacing or hinges. A current door that looks like the old one may attach differently. Include photographs of the inside edge of the frame and the points where the hinges fit.
Measure the inside width, depth and height of each bay you intend to change. Make a note of any shelf or rail that you want to keep. Check whether the side panels have a fixed centre shelf or a brace that divides the usable height. If the wardrobe has sliding doors, measure the inner space behind the tracks and show how far the panels open on each side.
Before you order a replacement, tell us whether the frame feels loose, is visibly bowed or has holes that no longer hold their fittings. Photograph anything that concerns you. The fitter needs to see whether the existing unit is suitable for the work before attaching anything to it. If you are considering a new frame as well, send the dimensions of the space and the items you would like to keep.
Before ordering a new wardrobe interior
- Locate the original frame reference and measure each bay.
- Check doors, tracks and hinges with the wardrobe open.
- List the shelves, rails and drawers you want to keep or add.
- Send the full address and confirm room access for long door cartons.
| Part | Compatibility to check |
|---|---|
| Replacement doors | Frame reference, hinge positions, opening direction and weight requirements |
| Internal drawers | Usable opening with the outer doors in place |
| Rail or shelves | Inside dimensions and matching support points |
Check how the new doors and fittings will work together
If you want internal drawers, look at the wardrobe with its outer door open. The drawer fronts must clear the hinges, handle and the edge of the door. With sliding doors, check how much of each bay is exposed when the panels move. A drawer can fit the frame on paper and still be blocked in its usual position. Send the chosen drawer reference along with the door and frame details.
For hanging rails, decide where longer clothes will go and how much space shoes or boxes need underneath. Measure the distance from the rail to the first shelf or drawer beneath it. If you want a second rail for shorter clothes, compare its position with the drill points and existing shelf supports. Show which items you use often so you can choose the layout before the new fittings go in.
For replacement hinged doors, check the direction you want each door to open. Stand at the wardrobe and look for a projecting sill, bedside cabinet or room door that could prevent a full swing. Tell us if an adjacent unit needs to stay in position. Include the hinges and handles in the product list if they are purchased separately, and check whether the maker specifies a particular hinge for a mirrored or heavier door.
Make a decision about the parts you want to keep
Keep matching fasteners with the components you may reuse
If the existing wardrobe has adjustable shelves, gather the shelf supports and label them by bay. Hinges and screws from another range can look similar and behave differently. Take a picture before removing anything and put the parts aside in separate bags. If you would prefer the fitter to take the old fittings out, leave them in place and include that work in the enquiry.
Allow for different clearances if you replace the frame
Measure the space where the new frame will stand and where it will be built, especially beneath a low ceiling. Check how far the base or skirting projects and identify the wall for any required restraint. Even a new cabinet with the same stated width as the old one can have a deeper door or a different opening. Tell us which furniture will remain beside it.
| Part of the visit | What we need from you |
|---|---|
| Inspect existing frame | Photos of condition and any damaged fittings |
| Assemble or fit parts | Exact references for the components and instructions |
| Handover | Empty working space to test the new parts before loading them |
Prepare the room and agree which pieces stay
Empty the part of the wardrobe we will work on. Put clothing, boxes and anything on top in a different area, especially if the fittings need to come out before the new ones go in. Keep useful shelves and their supports grouped together. Tell us if you want us to discuss dismantling another piece while we are there and where the old parts should go after the visit.
Send your full Woodford postcode, floor and access instructions. If a new door is being delivered separately, make sure the longest pack can reach the room. Check any stair turn or shared entrance and use the relevant parking information for your address. If there is permission required to secure or adjust the unit at the wall, agree it in advance and tell us about any restriction on drilling.
After the work, try every new shelf, drawer or door before returning the contents. Open each door in turn and check whether the drawers and nearby furniture have the clearance you expected. Save the new fitting instructions alongside the frame reference and keep any spare parts labelled. If the new components do not match the frame, keep their packaging and speak to the retailer before altering them.
How we price the work on an existing or new wardrobe
Send the frame and accessory references, quantities, photos of the room and any existing parts that need removing. If you are replacing a whole frame, include the new product and how the existing one is to be handled. The work and price depend on the model, access and the condition of any parts you are keeping. We can discuss those details with you before you book.
See assembly prices and IKEA furniture assembly. If you need the cartons brought to the property, ask about collection and delivery.
Before you book in Woodford
Can I send a photo if I cannot find the frame’s model number?
Yes. Photograph the frame inside and outside, any label, the mounting holes and hinge plates. Include its inside and outside measurements to help identify it.
Do I need to empty a bay we are leaving alone?
Empty the bay being worked on and tell us what is in the adjoining section. We can check whether its fittings or shared frame need to be accessed.
Can a new drawer fit behind an old sliding door?
Measure the usable opening with the door at each end of its track. Send both references and the measurements so we can check that the drawer will clear.
Can you reuse the original handles on new doors?
Send the distance between the handle screws and check the new door’s instructions. Tell us whether the door comes with holes or a fitting template.
