Assembling a wardrobe

Wardrobe Assembly Service

A wardrobe should feel solid, look neat, and work smoothly every day. If you have a new unit still in boxes, a flat pack delivered to your door, or a wardrobe that needs reassembly after a move, we can take care of the full build. Our service is designed for busy homes, rented apartments, and furnished properties where you want the job finished cleanly and correctly.

We assemble wardrobes of all sizes, including sliding door units, hinged door closets, corner wardrobes, tallboy combinations, and modular systems. We bring the right tools, follow the manufacturer instructions, and check each stage so doors align, drawers glide, and shelves sit level. You get a tidy result without the stress of missing steps, stripped screws, or a unit that wobbles.

What We Assemble and What Is Included

Wardrobes can be deceptively complex. Panels must be oriented correctly, rails must be level, and hardware must be installed in the right sequence. We handle the full build from unpacking to final checks, and we work carefully to protect floors, walls, and the wardrobe finish.

• Flat pack and modular wardrobes including multi door combinations, internal drawers, and adjustable shelving
• Sliding door wardrobes with track installation, door alignment, and smooth rolling checks
• Hinged door wardrobes with hinge fitting, door alignment services, and soft close adjustments where applicable
• Interior fittings such as hanging rails, baskets, shoe racks, mirrors, and divider panels
• Stability and safety including furniture tightening and leveling and recommended anti tip wall brackets when provided

If you booked our wardrobe assembly option, you can also ask about assembling additional items during the same visit, subject to time and complexity. This can be helpful when you are furnishing a bedroom and want everything finished in one appointment.

Our Step by Step Assembly Process

Our approach is simple, structured, and focused on quality. We work efficiently without rushing, because most wardrobe problems come from skipped checks or tightening before parts are squared.

1. Preparation We confirm the room layout, check access routes, and ensure there is enough clearance to build safely.
2. Unboxing and part check We identify panels and hardware, then flag any visible damage or missing components early.
3. Frame build We assemble the carcass, square it, and verify that back panels and supports are seated correctly.
4. Doors and drawers We install hinges or tracks, fit doors, and align for even gaps and smooth operation.
5. Interior setup We install rails, shelves, and accessories at your preferred heights when possible.
6. Final tightening and inspection We recheck fixings, confirm stability, and clean up packaging as agreed.

Need help with more than one piece of furniture. Our team can support related furniture assembly services for common bedroom items like bed frames, bedside tables, drawers, and shelving units, so your space is ready to use sooner.

Reassembly After Moving and Small Fixes

Wardrobes often have to be taken apart to get through doorways or down stairs. If your unit was disassembled for a move, we can rebuild it on site, ensuring the frame is square and the fittings are secure. We can also correct common issues that appear after transport, such as loose joints, doors that rub, and drawers that no longer sit straight.

When appropriate, we can complete minor corrective work during the appointment, such as hinge replacement services, runner replacement, handle replacement, and door alignment services. If a panel is damaged or a fitting is missing, we will explain your options and what can be safely done with available parts. For broader issues you may want our furniture repair services so the wardrobe remains stable and safe for daily use.

What to Prepare Before We Arrive

A little preparation helps the assembly go faster and reduces the chance of scuffs or delays. If possible, clear the build area and make sure the boxes are in the room where the wardrobe will stand. For large units, having all boxes on site before the appointment is ideal, since some designs require multiple cartons to complete the frame.

• Confirm the final position of the wardrobe and any nearby obstacles like radiators, skirting boards, or window ledges
• Provide the instruction booklet if it is separate from the packaging
• Let us know if the wardrobe will be anchored to the wall and if brackets were supplied
• Tell us in advance if access is limited, such as narrow stairs or no lift

If you are unsure about placement, we can advise on practical spacing for doors, drawers, and day to day use. A well positioned wardrobe looks better and reduces wear on hinges and runners over time.

To book wardrobe assembly, share the wardrobe brand or model, photos of the boxes or parts, and your preferred date and time, and we will confirm the estimated duration and next steps in a clear, straightforward way.
