Included in every visit — and what is not
Need a bed or wardrobe taken apart before a move or room change? Send photos of the item and joints, its dimensions and whether it must be reused. Glued, damaged or previously altered furniture may not come apart cleanly.
Dismantling covers beds, wardrobes, shelving, gym equipment and modular furniture. Allow space for panels and labelled fittings, and check the route out of the room. Request reassembly explicitly if needed; transport, disposal and appliance disconnection are not included.
Always included
- Floors, doorways and panels protected
- Correct disassembly order to protect joints
- Screws and fittings bagged and labelled
- Parts stacked ready for the van
- Optional rebuild in the same visit
Not part of this service
- Removal or disposal of the furniture

Rebecca Oluwaseun
“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.”

All Types of Dismantling — frequently asked questions
Do you take the furniture away?
No. We dismantle and stack the parts ready to move. Arrange transport or clearance separately.
Can you dismantle and rebuild on the same day?
Yes, if both rooms are ready. Book enough hours for both halves of the job and tell us the sequence.
Will flat-pack survive being rebuilt?
Often yes, but chipboard and cam locks weaken each time they are moved. We work carefully and tell you honestly if a unit is unlikely to rebuild well.
Do you label the screws?
Yes — fittings are bagged and labelled per item, which is the difference between a smooth rebuild and a lost afternoon.
Can you work around my removal van slot?
Yes. Give us the van time and we will plan the visit so parts are ready before loading starts.
Do you disconnect appliances?
No plumbed or wired appliance disconnection. Free-standing furniture, beds and gym equipment are fine.
