Why Use an IKEA Specialist?
IKEA furniture has specific quirks that general handymen don't know. Cam locks that strip if overtightened. PAX hinges with three-way adjustment. BESTÅ wall rails that must be perfectly level. MALM beds with slats that pop out if not seated correctly. We know every product range because we build them every single day — not once a month.

Common IKEA Assembly Mistakes We Fix
We regularly get called to fix DIY IKEA assembly gone wrong. The most common issues: PAX wardrobe frames built out of square (doors won't close), MALM bed slats not seated (they pop out under weight), BESTÅ not wall-mounted (safety hazard), cam locks stripped from using a power drill, and backing boards not fitted (unit has no structural rigidity). We can fix all of these — or better yet, let us build it right the first time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does IKEA PAX assembly cost?
PAX frames start from £70 per frame. A typical 2-frame wardrobe with sliding doors is £140-£180 total. Includes hinge adjustment, wall anchoring, and packaging removal.
Do you assemble IKEA kitchens?
Yes — we install METOD kitchen units, KNOXHULT kitchens, and all IKEA kitchen accessories. Kitchen installations are quoted individually based on the number of units. WhatsApp us your kitchen plan for a quote.
Can you fix badly assembled IKEA furniture?
Yes — we regularly fix DIY assembly mistakes. Common fixes include re-squaring PAX frames, adjusting hinges, replacing stripped cam locks, and wall-anchoring units. WhatsApp us a photo of the issue.
Do you wall-mount IKEA furniture?
Yes, and we strongly recommend it for all tall units. PAX wardrobes, Billy bookcases, KALLAX used vertically, and BESTÅ must all be wall-anchored for safety. We carry appropriate fixings for all wall types.
How long does IKEA PAX assembly take?
A single PAX frame takes us 45-90 minutes depending on the door type and interior fittings. A full 3-frame wardrobe system is typically 3-4 hours. We're significantly faster than DIY because we build these daily.
