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 before you book, pick the time, and a vetted local pro turns the boxes into furniture, with tall pieces fixed to the wall.
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 before you book, 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 (JACK) app before you book — priced from the list.
Screenshot your IKEA order confirmation or paste the product links, and a vetted pro 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 see the fixed price before you book, and wall fixing for tall pieces is part of it.
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.
Prefer to pay by the hour? You can also hire a pro at their hourly rate.
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 before you book. Pick a slot that suits you, after your IKEA delivery if you like, including evenings and weekends when pros have them.
Step 3
Boxes in, furniture out
A vetted pro builds every item, secures the tall pieces to the wall, and flattens the packaging, with photos and updates in the app — 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
Boxes arrived today?
Same-day IKEA assembly depends on a vetted pro being free near you. Check who can come today, and if today is full, pick the next slot that suits you. Either way you get a fixed price before you book.
Same-day IKEA and flat-pack assemblyThe IKEA lines London books most
These are the IKEA lines on almost every order London pros build:
- 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
- METOD kitchen cabinets — base and wall cabinets built, and wall units hung (see below for what is not included)
- Kitchen trolleys, changing tables, cots, and the small stuff that finishes a room
IKEA kitchen cabinets: built and hung
Pros on Jack All Trades build IKEA kitchen cabinets and hang them, with wall fixing included in the fixed price.
- METOD base and wall cabinet carcasses built square
- Wall units hung level and fixed to the wall with fixings that suit it
- Cabinet doors, drawers, and hinges fitted and adjusted so they line up
Not included: cutting or fitting worktops, plumbing, and connecting appliances. Those are separate jobs, so plan them before you book the cabinets.
IKEA kitchen cabinet assembly in detailWhy 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
- Care with the heavy, awkward lifts — wardrobe frames and bed bases are the moments a DIY build usually goes wrong
- 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?
Across London, with evening and weekend slots often available.
Does IKEA assemble the furniture it delivers?
IKEA offers its own assembly option when you order. Jack All Trades (JACK) is a separate, independent option: a vetted local pro builds your whole order, IKEA and other shops together, for a fixed price before you book, at a time you pick, with wall fixing included.
Is it worth paying for IKEA assembly?
For a single small item you may not need a pro. For wardrobes, storage beds, multi-item orders, or anything tall that has to be fixed to the wall, a pro saves you the afternoon and gets the anchoring right for your wall.
How much does IKEA furniture assembly cost in London?
It depends on what is in your order. A vetted pro prices the actual items and you get one fixed price in the app before you book, with wall fixing for tall pieces included. A single MALM chest and a four-item bedroom order cost different amounts, and the price says so honestly up front. You can also hire a pro by the hour.
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?
Often, yes, if a pro near you is free that day. Pick a slot after your delivery window in the app, and if the delivery moves, reschedule in the app chat without starting over.
Do you secure furniture to the wall?
Yes, and it is included in your fixed price. For tall pieces it is not optional: IKEA's own instructions call for 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 assemble IKEA kitchen cabinets?
Yes. Pros build METOD base and wall cabinets and hang the wall units, fixed to the wall. Cutting or fitting worktops, plumbing, and connecting appliances are not included.
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 replacement parts from IKEA. The finishing visit is quick and arranged in the same app thread.
Is Jack All Trades part of IKEA?
No. Jack All Trades (JACK) is an independent London service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by IKEA. IKEA product names such as PAX, MALM and METOD are used only to describe the furniture pros build.
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.
