Furniture assembly — Handyman
Provide product names or links before booking assembly, including whether the packaging is already in the room. Large wardrobes, beds and drawer units differ substantially in component count, working space and any required wall attachment.
Service scope
Furniture assembly puts supplied furniture components together according to the product instructions and completes the specified fitting or anchoring steps. It is distinct from bespoke manufacture, repairing defective parts and transporting furniture between properties.
What is normally included
- Flat-pack furniture assembly
- Adjustment of supplied doors and drawers
- Manufacturer-specified anchoring where suitable and agreed
What is not included
- Bespoke alteration of product design
- Ignoring required anti-tip or wall-fixing instructions
Typical tasks
- Check supplied components against instructions
- Assemble the specified furniture
- Fit doors, drawers and supplied hardware
- Complete appropriate anchoring steps where required
- Check normal operation and account for unused parts
What to include in your brief
- Product model and quantities
- Assembly instructions or supplier links
- Packaging location and room access
- Available working space
- Wall type where anchoring is required
Choosing the right professional
Ask whether the assembler follows the full manufacturer instructions, including anchoring requirements, and who supplies suitable wall fixings. Agree what happens if parts are missing or damaged rather than expecting improvised substitutions.
Important considerations
- Unsecured furniture can tip where the product requires anchoring
- Incorrect or missing parts may prevent safe completion
