Furniture assembly · Chelsea
A useful flatpack cabinet assembly enquiry in Chelsea shows both the item and its surroundings. Include the unit model, packing list, door or drawer options and photographs of the intended position. Fix Nik can explain what affects suitable work on supplied freestanding cabinet panels, doors and compact drawer units, without assuming a solution before the details are reviewed.
Flatpack Cabinet Assembly
supplied freestanding cabinet panels, doors and compact drawer units
Chelsea property context
An occupied Chelsea property may need preparation before flatpack cabinet assembly can begin. Include the unit model, packing list, door or drawer options and photographs of the intended position. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. A useful Chelsea enquiry identifies the affected room or outdoor area, explains what has changed and includes wide and close photographs. Measurements and access notes help separate urgent repairs from work that can be grouped into a later visit.
Service overview
Describe where the cartons are stored and the final room. Working space is needed to protect finished panels while parts are organised. Moving other furniture, stairs and heavy items should be discussed beforehand rather than assumed to be included.
Use the supports and permitted positions supplied for the cabinet. Include additional shelves in the product list before the quote. A shelf that looks similar may have different dimensions or a different supported load, so compatibility needs to be established.
Chipped edges, split fixing holes or a bent runner should be photographed with the part label visible. Keep the packaging and contact the supplier about replacements. A damaged structural panel should not be disguised with a cosmetic patch to finish assembly.
The agreed service covers panel assembly, runners, hinges, alignment and suitable restraint review. Exclusions: Fitted kitchen installation, service connections, bespoke cabinets, wardrobe/desk duplication.
Common situations
Compact drawer units can include several runner and front adjustments. Provide the exact configuration and number of drawers. This assembly scope concerns new supplied components; a damaged existing drawer mechanism should be described as a separate repair request.
A boxed freestanding storage cabinet is different from fitting a kitchen. Describe how the unit will be used and positioned. Plumbing connections, worktop cutting, fitted kitchen installation and bespoke cabinet manufacture are outside this small furniture assembly service.
Tall or drawer-heavy storage may have restraint requirements even when marketed as freestanding. Review the instructions and intended wall before assembly. Suitable fixing, permission and safe access must be established; the finished unit should not conceal an unresolved stability issue.
How it works
Include the unit model, packing list, door or drawer options and photographs of the intended position.
Panel condition, matching hardware and the product sequence determine whether a freestanding unit can be assembled as supplied.
Build the cabinet carcass, install supplied runners and hinges, check alignment and review any required restraint.
Confirm the Chelsea address, access contact and preparation. Mention anything that limits safe handling or use of the space before scheduling.
Use the supplied shelf and drawer limits. Report movement or loose fittings and keep a unit unloaded when its required restraint is incomplete.
Planning the work
Include the unit model, packing list, door or drawer options and photographs of the intended position. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
Build the cabinet carcass, install supplied runners and hinges, check alignment and review any required restraint. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
Use the supplied shelf and drawer limits. Report movement or loose fittings and keep a unit unloaded when its required restraint is incomplete. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
Clear the immediate working area where safe and explain heavy furniture or restricted entry. For rentals or managed properties, agree the appropriate permission and identify the person who can provide access.
FAQ
Panel condition, matching hardware and the product sequence determine whether a freestanding unit can be assembled as supplied. Unexpected damage, incompatible materials or access limitations should be discussed before extending the work. A photo enquiry is not authorisation for additional tasks or a promise to resolve every concealed problem.
Build the cabinet carcass, install supplied runners and hinges, check alignment and review any required restraint. The quote identifies the actual item, components and extent of work. An enquiry for one task does not automatically include every related item in the room or property.
Panel condition, matching hardware and the product sequence determine whether a freestanding unit can be assembled as supplied. Explain what has already been changed and show the current condition. Retain loose parts or product labels. Previous work can affect the available options, so it should be disclosed before the quote is agreed.
Panel condition, matching hardware and the product sequence determine whether a freestanding unit can be assembled as supplied.

Back panels and fixed shelves can establish the cabinet shape before doors are attached. Following the specified order helps keep the body square. Installing visible fittings too early can make later steps inaccessible or conceal a misassembled joint.
Compact drawer units can include several runner and front adjustments. Provide the exact configuration and number of drawers. This assembly scope concerns new supplied components; a damaged existing drawer mechanism should be described as a separate repair request.
Include the unit model, packing list, door or drawer options and photographs of the intended position. Include your Chelsea address and access details so Fix Nik can review the work and explain the next step.
