IKEA Furniture Assembly in London
Everything in the blue bags, built properly — beds, wardrobes, drawers, desks, shelving. Share your IKEA order in the app, get a fixed price in about two minutes, and a vetted pro turns the boxes into furniture.
An IKEA delivery is a wall of boxes and an evening you will not get back. Share the order in the app, get one fixed price in about two minutes, and a vetted pro builds the lot — often the same day the van arrives.

How pricing works
You get a fixed price for your whole IKEA order in the Jack All Trades app before you book — priced from the list, not from a clock.
Screenshot your IKEA order confirmation or paste the product links, and JACK prices the actual build: a MALM chest and a BILLY are quick, a wardrobe with sliding doors is not, and the price reflects that honestly. You will have a fixed price in about two minutes.
Booking the whole order in one visit is the smart move — each extra item adds far less than it would cost on its own, because the pro and the tools are already in the room. Delivery day and assembly day can even be the same day.
How it works
Step 1
Share your IKEA order
A screenshot of the order confirmation or the product links is perfect — JACK reads the list, and you add a photo of the room it is all going in.
Step 2
Get a fixed price and pick a slot
One fixed price for the whole build, confirmed in about two minutes — with slots that can line up with your IKEA delivery, evenings and weekends included.
Step 3
Boxes in, furniture out
A vetted pro builds every item, secures the tall pieces to the wall, and flattens the packaging — you put things in drawers, not drawers in things.
What's included in your assembly visit
One fixed price for the whole order — built, secured, and tidied, not just bolted together.
- Every item on your order built to the instructions, square and level
- Tall furniture — wardrobes, bookcases, chests — anchored to the wall with the right fixings
- Doors and drawers aligned so they close the way the showroom promised
- Parts checked at the start, with anything missing flagged honestly and followed up in the app
- Packaging flattened and stacked for recycling, room left tidy
The IKEA lines London books most
Pros on Jack All Trades build the whole catalogue, but these are the ones on almost every order:
- PAX wardrobes — frames, interiors, and sliding doors (big enough job that it has its own page)
- MALM — beds with storage boxes, and the chest of drawers on every order
- BILLY and KALLAX — bookcases and shelving, secured to the wall
- HEMNES — beds, drawers, and hallway pieces with the fiddly cam-lock count
- Bed frames of every kind, with slats, midbeams, and under-bed storage done right
- Desks and office chairs — BEKANT, IDÅSEN, MICKE, and gaming setups
- Sofas and sofa-beds — FRIHETEN, SÖDERHAMN, and modular KIVIK builds
- Kitchen trolleys, changing tables, cots, and the small stuff that finishes a room
Why people hand IKEA boxes to a pro
IKEA instructions assume two people, a free afternoon, and nothing going wrong. The pros bring what the leaflet cannot:
- Speed that compounds — a pro builds a MALM chest in the time it takes to find the right allen key, and a whole order in an afternoon
- Two hands where the instructions demand them — wardrobe frames and bed bases are genuinely two-person lifts
- Wall-securing done properly: BILLY, KALLAX, and every tall piece anchored with fixings that match your wall, not the plugs in the bag
- Missing or damaged parts spotted at the start, flagged honestly, and the return visit to finish is quick once IKEA sends the bits
- Old London floors handled — furniture shimmed level so doors line up and drawers do not roll open
- Packaging flattened and stacked for recycling instead of living in your hallway for a month
Moving day and IKEA day are usually the same week
New place, new furniture — the IKEA delivery lands the same week as the moving van. If the order is big, or the to-do list goes beyond flat-pack, a full-day handyman booking clears the lot in one go: assembly, blinds, mirrors, TV on the wall. One pro, one day, one flat rate.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to send my full order?
A screenshot of the order confirmation is perfect — it lists every item, so the price covers exactly what is in the boxes with no surprises on the day.
Where do you cover?
All London boroughs, seven days a week, with evening and weekend slots often available.
How much does IKEA furniture assembly cost in London?
It depends on what is in your order — JACK prices the actual items and confirms one fixed price in the app before you book, in about two minutes. A single MALM chest and a four-item bedroom order cost different amounts, and the price says so honestly up front.
How long does IKEA assembly take?
Rough guide per item: a BILLY around 30 minutes, a MALM chest about an hour, a bed frame 1-2 hours, and a PAX wardrobe 2-4 hours depending on doors and interiors. A pro working through a whole order is dramatically faster than the leaflet-and-allen-key evening you are picturing.
Can the pro come the same day as my IKEA delivery?
Usually, yes — book the delivery day in the app and the pro arrives after the boxes do. If IKEA's slot moves, reschedule in the app chat without starting over.
Do you secure furniture to the wall?
Yes, and for tall pieces it is not optional — IKEA's own instructions require anchoring bookcases, wardrobes, and chests that a child could pull over. Your pro uses fixings matched to your wall: brick, block, or plasterboard.
Do you build furniture from other shops too?
Yes — Argos, Wayfair, Amazon, John Lewis, Dunelm, and anything else flat-packed. Add it all to the same booking; the price covers the real list.
What if parts are missing or something is damaged?
The pro checks parts as they unbox, builds everything that can be built, and flags what is missing so you can order replacements from IKEA free of charge. The finishing visit is quick and arranged in the same app thread.
Can you disassemble IKEA furniture for a move and rebuild it after?
Yes — flat-pack survives a move far better taken apart by someone who knows the cam-lock order. Book disassembly at the old place and reassembly at the new one, or fold both into a full-day handyman booking on moving week.
