Flatpack Cabinet Assembly
supplied freestanding cabinet panels, doors and compact drawer units
Service overview
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.
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.
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.
The agreed service covers panel assembly, runners, hinges, alignment and suitable restraint review. Exclusions: Fitted kitchen installation, service connections, bespoke cabinets, wardrobe/desk duplication.
Melton property context
Planning flatpack cabinet assembly in Melton starts with the actual item and its setting. Include the unit model, packing list, door or drawer options and photographs of the intended position. The address identifies the locality; it does not establish the construction, condition or accessibility of the property. A useful Melton 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.
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.
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.
Panel condition, matching hardware and the product sequence determine whether a freestanding unit can be assembled as supplied. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
Unexpected conditions can alter the available options. Any additional work, different components or separate specialist requirement should be discussed before extending the agreed task, rather than treated as automatically included.
Common situations
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.
Door clearances are checked after the cabinet body is assembled and positioned. The supplied hinge adjustments have limits. If the frame is twisted or a panel has been fitted incorrectly, adjusting the hinge alone will not resolve the underlying problem.
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.

FAQ

Use the supplied shelf and drawer limits. Report movement or loose fittings and keep a unit unloaded when its required restraint is incomplete. Any limitations, unfinished stages or separate work should be explained at handover. Keep relevant product information and tell Fix Nik if the original issue returns rather than making repeated improvised adjustments.

Include the unit model, packing list, door or drawer options and photographs of the intended position. Use the quote form with the property address and a short list of requirements. Identify the quantities and any deadline so Fix Nik can review the scope and clarify the next practical step.
Build the cabinet carcass, install supplied runners and hinges, check alignment and review any required restraint. List each additional item with its own photos and dimensions. Compatible tasks can be considered together, but grouping an enquiry does not expand the service into electrical, plumbing, structural or other specialist work.
Fitted kitchen installation, service connections, bespoke cabinets, wardrobe/desk duplication. Describe any additional requirement separately. Suitability is reviewed before work is accepted, and a specialist requirement must not be treated as a routine extension of the quoted handyman task.
