Most technicians charge per item, not per hour, with rates ranging widely based on size and complexity. Small items like bedside tables start at the lower end. Medium items such as 6-drawer dressers sit in the middle range. Large wardrobes and kitchens reach the upper range. Travel distance, floor level, and wall fixing often add separate fees. Always request a written quote.
Ask for a written guarantee covering at least 12 months on workmanship, including loose joints, misaligned doors, and damaged panels caused during assembly. Request the company name, VAT number, and a phone number on the receipt. Clarify who pays if a part is defective and needs to be reordered, and who covers the return visit. Keep the instructions manual for warranty claims.
Clear the room where the item will stand, including rugs and wall decorations. Measure doorways, stair turns, and the final position to confirm the box fits through. Have a cleared wall area at least 1 m around the build site. Identify the exact wall material, since plasterboard, brick, and concrete require different fixings. Keep children and pets away from the work zone during assembly.
Cardboard, foam, plastic wrap, and broken-down boxes take up significant space. Some providers remove packaging as part of the service for an extra fee. Others leave it at the curb or inside the home. Old furniture removal is usually a separate job. Ask if the technician carries bags, ties, or a small trolley, or if you should prepare them in advance.
Assembly covers flat-pack items such as wardrobes, beds, desks, bookshelves, drawers, and TV units. It also includes fitting handles, drawer runners, door hinges, shelf pins, and cam locks. Some providers also hang wall-mounted units, install soft-close mechanisms, or attach casters and legs to sofas. Always confirm whether wall fixing,搬运, or packaging removal is included before booking.
Wrong parts inside the box, missing hardware, pre-drilled holes that do not align, and stripped cam-lock threads are the most frequent complaints. Particleboard panels sometimes arrive chipped or swollen at the edges. Drawer runners can stick if the carcass is twisted during assembly. Stop the job when parts do not match the manual, since forcing joints usually cracks the panel or splits the dowel seat.
Ask for a written guarantee covering workmanship for at least 30 days. The guarantee should cover loose joints, misaligned doors, or fallen shelves under normal use. It should not cover damage from misuse, moving the item, or pets. Confirm whether follow-up visits are free or charged. Keep the invoice, the item list, and the technician's contact details for future reference.
Clear the room where the item will sit, including nearby furniture. Keep the original box, all hardware bags, and the instruction manual within reach. Identify where wall anchors will be needed and mark stud positions if known. Make sure there is a power socket nearby for cordless drills. Good preparation often cuts the total visit time by 20 to 30 percent.
Tall furniture must be anchored to the wall to prevent tipping, especially in homes with children. The pro should locate studs in plasterboard walls using a detector, then fix the unit with brackets or anti-tip straps rated for at least 50 kg of pull force. On brick or concrete, a hammer drill and 8 mm wall plugs are used. Never anchor tall pieces with just drywall anchors.
Demand peaks after holidays, in early autumn, and around back-to-school weeks. Booking 1 to 2 weeks ahead is normal during these periods. Same-day or next-day slots are often possible in slower months. Morning appointments tend to arrive on time more reliably than late afternoon ones. Confirm the arrival window by text or message the day before the visit.
