5 stars rating James H., Primrose Hill

I needed several large wardrobes assembled in my flat near Regent’s Park. The team from The Better Handyman arrived exactly on time and worked incredibly efficiently. What would have taken me days was finished in a few hours, and everything—including the door alignments—is perfect. It’s a relief to find someone so reliable in Primrose Hill.

5 stars rating Mark T., Camden

Finding a handyman who is willing to travel across the M25 for a list of small odd jobs can be difficult. The Better Handyman helped us mount a heavy mirror and fix a few sticking doors. The work was methodical, the pricing was transparent, and they left the place spotless. A very practical and trustworthy service.

5 stars rating Sarah L., Camden

We used the service for a small office fit-out in North London. They handled everything from desks to complex shelving units with total precision. They were professional, tidy, and clearly knew their way around different furniture brands. We’ll definitely be calling them again for future maintenance.

Professional Flat-Pack Furniture Assembly

Buying new furniture is exciting, but the reality of multi-box deliveries and complex instruction manuals can quickly turn a home improvement project into a weekend of frustration. At The Better Handyman , we take the stress out of the process with a professional assembly service designed for precision, stability, and speed. Whether you’ve ordered a single bedside table or a complete suite of office workstations, our team ensures your furniture is built exactly as the manufacturer intended.

Why Professional Assembly Matters

While flat-pack furniture is designed for DIY, the difference between a self-build and a professional installation is often found in the details. Incorrectly tightened cams, misaligned hinges, or neglected wall-anchoring can lead to sagging drawers, wobbly frames, and even safety hazards. We bring the right tools for every job—from specialized hex drivers to heavy-duty masonry drills—ensuring that every component is perfectly flush and structurally sound.

Versatility Across Brands and Styles

Our experience spans the entire spectrum of modern furniture. We are experts in the high-volume systems used by IKEA (including complex PAX wardrobe configurations), as well as the bespoke fittings found in premium brands like John Lewis, West Elm, and MADE. We understand the unique hardware requirements of different materials, whether you’re dealing with delicate veneers, solid wood, or metal frames.

Frequently asked questions for our Flat Pack assembly services

Can you assemble furniture from any brand?
Yes. We have extensive experience with all major high-street and designer brands, including IKEA, John Lewis, MADE, Habitat, and West Elm. Whether it is a complex PAX wardrobe system or a bespoke office desk, we are familiar with the various hardware and locking mechanisms used across different manufacturers.
Do you offer a “wall-mounting” service for furniture?
Absolutely. For safety and stability, many tall items like bookcases and chests of drawers must be anchored to the wall. We carry a variety of heavy-duty fixings suitable for London’s diverse building types—from traditional Victorian brick to modern plasterboard—ensuring your furniture is securely fixed and child-safe.
What happens if parts are missing from my delivery?
If we discover a missing component during the build, we will notify you immediately. While we carry a stock of standard screws and spare fixings that often solve the problem, if a proprietary part is missing from the manufacturer, we can help you identify exactly what needs to be re-ordered so you can contact the supplier.
How long does a typical assembly take?
The time required depends on the complexity and size of the item. A standard chest of drawers might take an hour, while a large multi-door wardrobe with internal fittings can take several. When you provide the brand or model details, we can give you a realistic timeframe for the job so you can plan your day accordingly.
Can you disassemble old furniture to make room for the new?
Yes, we often help clients by dismantling existing furniture to clear space for new deliveries. If you are moving home or simply refreshing a room, just let us know in advance so we can factor the extra time into your estimate. And we can also help with the organisation of the disposal if needed.
How do you handle the cardboard and packaging?
We work methodically to keep your space tidy throughout the assembly process. Once the build is complete, we will break down all cardboard boxes and consolidate the plastic packaging into a neat pile. While we can also offer a waste removal service, we usualy just ensure the materials are ready for your local recycling collection, leaving your room clear and your new furniture ready to use.
