Furniture assembly in Surrey

Furniture assembly and disassembly across Surrey

Some furniture won’t fit through a door in one piece. Beds, big tables, desks, shelving and wardrobes have to come apart, then go back together at the other end. Our Surrey crews do both. We disassemble it at your old place, move it, and reassemble it where you point.

We also build flat-pack on its own, no move needed. Bought a new IKEA wardrobe and don’t want to spend your Saturday with an Allen key? We’ll come to your Surrey home and put it together. Same for a Cozey sofa or a Samsung piece that showed up in boxes.

Here’s why that matters: we’re one of the largest delivery partners for IKEA, Cozey and Samsung. We build their furniture every day, so flat-pack is our day job. Billing is simple too, time-based, charged on the actual hours worked, and broken down for you up front. No flat rate, no surprises.

What we build

What we put together and take apart

Disassembly for your move

Beds, tables, desks, shelving units and wardrobes that won’t clear a doorway get taken apart properly. We keep the screws and fittings together for each piece so nothing goes missing between your old place and the new one.

Reassembly at the new place

Once we’re in your new Surrey home, we rebuild everything we took apart and set it where you want it. Your bed’s ready to sleep in and your desk is ready to use the same day, not sitting in pieces against a wall.

Flat-pack and IKEA assembly

No move required. If you’ve got new IKEA, Cozey or Samsung furniture still in the box, we’ll assemble it at your Surrey home. We build these brands every day as their delivery partner, so we’ve got the pieces, the steps and the parts that always go on backwards down cold. Wardrobes, bed frames, bookcases, desks, kids’ furniture, we put it together and clear away the boxes when we’re done.

Pricing

What affects your furniture assembly cost in Surrey

You want the number before anyone shows up. Fair. Our billing is time-based, billed on the actual hours the crew works, and after the minimum charge the clock runs in 30-minute increments. We break it all down up front, before we touch a single screw, so the bill matches the estimate you said yes to. Four things move that number.

What you’re having built

Small pieces go fast. A bookcase or a nightstand is often 20 to 30 minutes each. A tall wardrobe, a bunk bed or a modular Cozey sectional can each run 1 to 2 hours. More panels and more hardware means more time on the clock.

Crew size

Two movers is our standard crew, and two is right for most assembly calls. Tall wardrobes and bunk beds need four hands to tip up safely. On a whole-home job with 10 or more boxes of flat-pack, a third builder can cut the day down fast.

Access at your place

A ground-floor Surrey townhouse goes quicker than a 20th-floor condo tower. Elevator waits, long hallways and far-off parking all add minutes, and minutes are what you pay for. Good access keeps the hours honest.

Assembly alone, or part of a move

Booked with a move, disassembly and reassembly fold into the same clock. One crew, one bill. Booked on its own, the minimum charge applies and the crew gets straight to building. Either way, you see the breakdown first.

Here’s what that looks like in practice. You call, we ask what needs building or taking apart, how many pieces, and what floor you’re on. You get an honest hourly estimate with the crew size, the hourly rate and the minimum charge spelled out before we book anything. On the day, the clock only runs while we work. When the last piece is standing, you check the time sheet with the crew lead, and that’s the bill.

It’s the same time-based story on every job we run, from a single wardrobe build to long-distance moves out of the Lower Mainland. No guessed lump sums, no padding, no surprise line at the end.

From the crew

10 furniture assembly tips from our Surrey crews

We build flat-pack every day for IKEA, Cozey and Samsung deliveries. These are the 10 things we’d tell a friend before assembly day, whether they hire us or not.

  • 1
    Book the elevator first. Most condo towers hand out service elevator slots in 2-hour windows, and the good ones go 3 to 5 days ahead. Lock in your window with the building manager before you book us.
  • 2
    Leave flat-pack sealed in the box. The cardboard is the best protection that furniture will ever have. We carry boxes to the right room first, then cut them open, so nothing gets scratched in a hallway.
  • 3
    Check the hardware before build day. Open the manual and count the parts bags against page 1. One missing cam lock can stall a wardrobe build, and a parts run costs you an hour.
  • 4
    Never move a tall wardrobe in one piece. Anything over 6 feet of particleboard, an IKEA PAX for example, has to come apart. Cam locks work loose when a tall unit gets tipped and carried, and panels crack at the joints.
  • 5
    Bag and tape the hardware. If you take a piece apart yourself, put every screw and dowel in one zip bag and tape it to the biggest panel. We do exactly that on every disassembly we handle, with a label on each bag.
  • 6
    Take 2 photos before it comes apart. Two quick phone shots of a bed frame’s bracket positions save 20 minutes of guessing at the rebuild.
  • 7
    Clear a build zone. We need about 6 feet of open floor beside each build spot. Wardrobe frames get built flat on the floor and then tipped upright, so the space matters as much as the spot.
  • 8
    Put 2 people on the heavy stuff. Dressers, wardrobes and sofa frames are two-person lifts, full stop. Our standard crew is two movers for exactly that reason.
  • 9
    Build beds first on move-in day. Book assembly for the afternoon your boxes land, or the day after. Beds go up first so you sleep properly on night one, then the desks, then everything else. If you want the boxes handled too, our Surrey packing crews can pack you out the day before.
  • 10
    Tell us the piece count when you book. Five flat-pack boxes is a different day than fifteen. Give us the count and the floor number, and the hourly estimate you get up front will be the one that holds.

A Clayton Heights build

An IKEA assembly in a Clayton Heights coach house

Here’s a job that shows what Clayton Heights throws at an assembly crew. A couple in East Clayton bought a full IKEA bedroom for the coach house above their rear-lane garage, off one of the narrow no-cul-de-sac streets that make this pocket what it is. The boxes were flat-pack. The unit was up a stair over the garage, on a lane where visitor parking is famously tight, so we booked the loading spot ahead and planned a longer carry from the lane to the door.

Two builders handled it. We carried the flat panels up in order, built the PAX wardrobe and the bed frame in place because a tall wardrobe won’t clear that stair once it’s up, and kept each piece’s hardware bagged and labelled so nothing walked off between trips. A bedroom set like this runs a two-person crew a few hours, billed on the actual time, broken down before we touch a screw. No flat-rate guess. We build IKEA every day as one of their delivery partners, so the coach-house stair and the tight lane were the hard part, not the furniture.

Furniture Assembly FAQ

Questions we get about furniture assembly

Do you assemble IKEA furniture in Surrey?

Yes. We’re one of the largest delivery partners for IKEA, so we build their furniture every day. We’ll assemble new IKEA pieces at your Surrey home whether you’re moving or not.

Can you build furniture without a move?

Yes. Furniture assembly is a standalone service. If you’ve bought flat-pack from IKEA, Cozey or Samsung and don’t want to build it yourself, book us just for the assembly.

What furniture gets disassembled for a move?

Usually beds, large tables, desks, shelving and wardrobes, anything that won’t fit through a doorway in one piece. We take it apart at your old place and rebuild it at the new one.

Do you reassemble furniture at the new home?

Yes. Anything we take apart for your move, we put back together at your new Surrey place and set it where you want it. You’re not left with a pile of parts.

How much does furniture assembly cost?

We bill time-based, on the actual hours worked, and we break the cost down for you up front before we start. We don’t do flat rates, so you only pay for the time the job takes.

Do you keep track of the screws and fittings?

Yes. When we disassemble a piece, we keep its hardware together and labelled so the right screws go back into the right furniture at the new place.

Do you use subcontractors?

No. Every job is handled by our own trained crews. The same people who take your furniture apart are the ones who rebuild it, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.

Can you build furniture in a Clayton Heights coach house or basement suite?

Yes. Clayton’s rear-lane coach houses over the garage and the legal basement suites both come up a lot here. We carry the flat-pack up the stair, build tall pieces like wardrobes and bunk beds in the room since they won’t clear once they’re up, and clear the boxes when we’re done.

Parking on my Clayton Heights street is tight. Is that a problem for an assembly call?

No. Tight visitor parking and narrow rear lanes are the norm in Clayton Heights, so we plan for it. We book the loading or lane spot ahead and plan a longer carry from the lane to your door. The clock only runs while we build, not while we sort out parking.
