What this service covers

All Types of Assembly Services by Hello Handy

Flat-pack looks simple until a panel goes in the wrong way round and the doors never close properly. We build to the instructions, torque fixings correctly so nothing works loose, then align drawers and doors so the finished piece moves the way it should.

IKEA, Argos, Wayfair and most other brands are fine. We assemble beds and bunk beds, hinged and sliding wardrobes, desks, office chairs, gym equipment, dining sets and storage units, and we tidy the packaging when the build is done.

  • IKEA, Argos & Wayfair flat-pack
  • Aligned hinged & sliding wardrobes
  • Stable beds & bunk beds
  • Office desks & ergonomic chairs
  • Safely torqued gym equipment
  • Dining tables & chair sets

Included in every visit — and what is not

  • Wall anti-tip strap fitted where supplied

  • “Sulltan and Adam were absolutely brilliant. They assembled some complicated IKEA items perfectly. They were really helpful and left assembly areas clean and tidy. I have no hesitation in recommending their services.”

  • “The movers handled my furniture with care and professionalism. They disassembled and assembled our wardrobe really quickly. And shout out to the young men who had to carry our very heavy cabinet up the stairs!”

    Barry Tam

  • “Used this company for assembly of a pair of sliding mirrored IKEA doors on a cupboard. I normally enjoy my DIY and assemble things myself but these are very complex and tricky to put together, especially if you are on your own. The guys arrived on time, were friendly & polite, they assembled the doors and even fixed the cupboard to the wall in good time and end result looks amazing. Thank you Hellohandy!”

    Menelaos Tzafetas

  • “I had the dismantling and reassembly of my large corner wardrobe. Sulltan and Adam were amazing, they were VERY fast, and were keeping me in the loop along the way. Very impressed with the service, and they also moved an old wardrobe for me too. They even offered to fix another item that I hadn't asked because they were so helpful. Would highly recommend.”

    Lisa DS

  • “I had an IKEA cupboard which I did not know how to assemble. I have used Hello Services before, and I trusted them to do the work again... He arrived on time and the work was completed really quickly and it looked lovely!”

    Mo Hassan

  • “There had been a mix up with company about dismantling furniture, but he did it anyone and didn't moan. He made my move a lot less stressful and they were all top guys.”

All Types of Assembly Services — frequently asked questions

Do you assemble IKEA furniture?

Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair and most flat-pack brands. Send the product name and we will confirm a realistic build time.

Can you take the packaging away?

We flatten and gather packaging so it is easy to deal with, but removal is not part of the visit. Our sister service Hello Vans can help with clearance.

What if a part is missing from the box?

We will build everything we can and tell you exactly which part to request from the retailer. A short return visit can finish the build once it arrives.

Will you fix the unit to the wall?

Yes, where an anti-tip strap or bracket is supplied and the wall allows it. This matters for tall units in homes with children.

How many hours should I book for a wardrobe?

A hinged wardrobe is usually around two and a half hours for one person. Sliding-door wardrobes take longer and are easier with two.

Can you assemble several items in one visit?

Yes, and it is the most cost-effective way to book. Add up the guide times above and book the closest number of hours.
