IKEA Collection, Delivery & Assembly in London

IKEA pickup and assembly in one booking

Phi Movers’ IKEA collection and assembly service collects your order from a London IKEA store or click-and-collect point, delivers it to your home and builds it — PAX wardrobes, MALM chests and beds, KALLAX shelving and the rest. One booking, one crew, and no flat-pack boxes to wrestle up the stairs yourself. We are not affiliated with IKEA: you place and pay for your order with IKEA, and we handle the pickup, delivery and assembly.

Tall and heavy flat-pack needs more than an Allen key. A PAX frame is built lying down and tipped upright, so it needs ceiling clearance; a MALM chest of drawers should be fixed to the wall with its anti-tip kit; a bed needs the slats and centre beam fitted properly so it doesn’t creak or sag. Our crew builds to the instructions and fits the supplied wall fixings where your walls allow.

When everything’s built we take the cardboard and packaging away, so you’re not left with a hallway full of boxes. IKEA collection and assembly starts from £60, with the final price depending on what you’ve ordered and how much there is to build.

How it works, step by step

We’ve refined our process across London moves every week to keep everything simple and predictable. Here’s exactly what happens from your first enquiry through to completion.

1. 1

   Place your order

   Order directly with IKEA, online for click-and-collect or in store, and pay for the goods yourself. Send us the order number, the name on the order, the collection point and a list of the items so we can plan the van and the build time.

2. 2

   Check the room

   Measure the ceiling height where a tall wardrobe is going and tell us what the walls are made of if you know — plasterboard, brick or concrete affects which fixings work. Clear the space where furniture is being built.

3. 3

   Collection

   We collect the order from the store or collection point with your reference, check the number of packages against the order, and load it securely so boxes and panels aren’t damaged on the way.

4. 4

   Delivery and assembly

   Boxes are carried to the right rooms and built to the instructions. Tall and heavy pieces are fixed to the wall with the supplied anti-tip kit where the wall allows; if it doesn’t, we’ll tell you and leave it safe.

5. 5

   Packaging away and final check

   We check that drawers, doors and hinges run properly, collect up the cardboard and packaging, and take it away with us.

How much does it cost?

IKEA Collection & Assembly is charged by the hour from our published rate card, from £60: a small van and driver is £50/hr, each helper adds £20/hr, and there is a 2-hour minimum. After that, time is billed in 30-minute steps.

The first 10 journey miles are included, then £1.50 a mile. See our pricing page for the full rate card and calculator.

Quotes are free. A deposit is only taken once we confirm your date, and it comes off the final balance.

A fixed quote in about one working hour. Larger jobs can book a free home survey.

What affects the price

A few practical factors move the final number up or down. Knowing them in advance helps you plan and, in many cases, keep costs lower:

• How many items there are and how long they take to build
• Large or tall pieces such as wardrobes and beds
• Wall-fixing requirements and wall type
• Stairs, lifts and carry distance at your address
