We have been assembling furniture for a long time (since 2004) and are familiar with almost everything on the market. So when you contact us for a quote, we have usually built it before, if not, something very similar.
Recently to respond to changes in demand we have changed the way we price our services. We have done away with charging in half hours. It has always been a little unfair on customers to have costs jump by the cost of one hour if the job took five minutes longer a round numebr of hours. We were one of the first companies to charge in half hours, always rounding up or down when we got to each quarter of an hour mark. Whilst this was a fairer way of doing it, it still presented the same problem, if the job is to take 5 minutes more than the quarter hour mark, the price jumps by half an hour.
So we have priced every item in terms of units, multiplied by a rate, we then add on a variable call out fee and we still have a minumum charge.
The variable call out fee is adjusted based on where we already have work booked in, so if we are say 5 minutes away from you on one particular day, the price will be cheaper, compared to a longer drive on another day. This helps cluster our work, reduce polution and costs, which we pass on to you.
We have split the UK into 9 Price Brackets depending on a varierty of factors. Most of the country falls into A, B or C, which are broadly the same, with a £15-£35 call out fee (based on where you are in relation to current work), plus a unit rate of £0.57-£0.63 per unit, to reflect variations in what we have to pay our assemblers.
When you make an enquiry, tell us your postcode, and this will be used to calculate the price.
Typically we will need to know the exact product, so we can work out how long it will take and what it will cost.
We have an extensive database with over 15,000 products in it, with fixed assembly prices (units) for each one. This covers over 400 furniture suppliers with most of the popular items from the major High Street suppliers.
such as Argos, Ikea, John Lewis, Next, Very, Wayfair etc.
Many customers visit our website when we are clsoed so we have intorduced an automated quote engine.
Please provide the correct post code, as this determines the Price Bracket we will charge.
When you enquire please list the supplier and all the part nos (see below), our software will match this with our database and provide an immediate quote. The quantities will be set to 1 for each item, so you can adjust these once the first quote is prepared, and you can add or delete items.
EXAMPLE PART NOS:
Argos - 123/4567
This is after the title of the item on the website or in the catalogue, on the boxes, on your receipt and also the last 7 digits of the URI.
Ikea - 123.456.78
This is now haf way dow the page after the description, on the boxes, on your receipt and also the last 8 digits of the URI.
NB: Ikea use a lot of aggregate part codes. Typcially a bed will have 3 individual parts, the bed ie Hemnes Double, the Skorva midbean and the slats, each of which has an individual part number. Then there is one aggregate part number for each item combined. The individual part nos will appear on your receipt, but the aggregate part number is the one you will see on the website. They do the same thing for modular wardrobes like the pax system, the off the shelf designs on the website have an aggregate part no, as do all the individual parts. We have them all in our database, so use the aggregate part nos where you can.
John Lewis - 12345678
This is listed in the cataloue by each product, in the product description on the website and on your receipt.
Next - 123-456
This is listed in the cataloue by each product, after the titel by the price on the website and on your receipt.
Very - ABCDE (occasioanlly there are numbers instead of letters)
This is listed at the start of the description on the website.
Wayfair - SKU:ABCD1234 (number of digits and numbers varies)
You will find this at the end of the crumb trail above the title of the product.
Wayfair list the same items on their website under lots of different names, however the SKU is the same. If you are not sure, type the SKU into the Wayfar search box, and you will see the same photo for the product you have bought and the name of the product in our database.
Once you have a full list, and are happy with the price you can make a provisional appointment, which we will confirm as soon as we can.
Obviously the above won;t work for every job and every supplier. So please provide the following when asking for a quote:
Our more experienced assemblers are a bit quicker and our less experienced ones take more time. The price you pay is the same, and fixed, as our aim is to maintain quality.
What we charge is roughly base don how long it will take, plus a few other factors. Whilst two items may look the same, the way the panels are connected affects assembly time as well as decorative embellishments.
For example, the Mexican Corona style furniture, has decocrative studs which need inserting, plinths, and a more time consuming construciton technique, than standard minifix fittings, and therefore takes twice as long.
Additionally, cheaper components cn take longer to fit, compared to more expensive similar ones.
We would only charge extra when
WORKING IN TIGHT SPACES CAN ALSO CAUSE PROBLEMS, GENERALLY WE NEED A SPACE OF 2 FOOT AROUND THE ITEM WHEN IT IS LYING DOWN.
As you can see from the notes below it is difficult to say a wardrobe will cost X or Y until we know exactly which one it is.
PLEASE NOTE WE ARE CURRENTLY TRIALING AN AUTOMATED SERVICE IN SOME AREAS, SO PEOPLE CAN GET A QUOTE AND MAKE A BOOKING WHEN WE ARE CLOSED. THIS WILL PRODUCE DIFFERENT PRICES TO THOSE INDICATED BELOW. ONCE WE HAVE COMPLETED THE TRIAL WE WILL UPDATE THIS PAGE TO REFLECT THE CHANGES.

Jo says ”
The fitter was on time, polite and courteous. He got straight on with the assembly of my wardrobe after we discussed the positioning of it. I was amazed at how quickly he assembled it all, and left all the packaging in a neat and tody pile, meaning it was easy for me to dispose of. Would absolutely use the service again, and think it is great value for money.“
