{"children":[],"content":"<h2>What the job involves</h2><p>Flat-pack furniture takes time, tools and patience. Built wrong, it wobbles, gaps open up, or it falls apart.</p><p>Your furniture gets built square and solid, in the right room. Tall units are fixed to the wall so they cannot tip over. That matters in any home with children. Packaging is flattened and left tidy.</p><h3>What's included</h3><ul><li>Wardrobes, beds, chests and bookcases</li><li>Kitchen and bathroom cupboards</li><li>Shelving fitted level and fixed properly</li><li>Office desks and storage</li><li>Tall furniture anchored to the wall</li></ul><h2>What it costs</h2><ul><li>Flat pack furniture assembly, from &pound;40</li><li>Put up shelving, from &pound;35</li></ul><p>Labour is &pound;30 per hour for anything not listed. These are starting prices. You get a firm price before any work starts.</p><h2>Common questions</h2><h3>Do you build IKEA furniture?</h3><p>Yes, and any other flat pack. Bring the instructions if you still have them, though they are not essential.</p><h3>Will you fix it to the wall?</h3><p>Yes. Tall units are anchored to the wall as standard. That matters in any home with children, because chests and wardrobes tip forward more easily than people expect.</p><h3>What happens to the packaging?</h3><p>It gets flattened and left tidy.</p><h3>Can you put up shelves at the same time?</h3><p>Yes. Shelving starts from &pound;35. See <a href=\"/services/odd-jobs-home-repairs\">odd jobs and home repairs</a>.</p><h3>Will the doors and drawers line up properly?</h3><p>Yes. Adjusting hinges and drawer runners so everything sits square and closes flush is part of the job, not an extra. It is also the step most self-assembly skips, which is why flat pack furniture so often ends up with uneven gaps.</p><h3>Can you put up shelves while you are here?</h3><p>Yes. See <a href=\"/services/shelving-cabinet-installation\">shelving and cabinet installation</a>.</p><h3>Do you cover my area?</h3><p>We cover south west London, south London and Surrey, including Sutton, Wimbledon, Kingston upon Thames, Richmond, Clapham, Putney, Wandsworth, Epsom, Leatherhead and Dorking.
