Bedroom, kitchen, storage, and office lines, including PAX wardrobe systems and modular shelving.
We check cam locks and dowels before final assembly so panels sit flush and drawers glide.
Tall wardrobes and bookcases are secured to the wall using the included or equivalent anchor hardware.
IKEA pieces rely on eccentric cam locks, wooden dowels, and RTA (ready-to-assemble) panel construction rather than screws alone, so a misaligned cam lock or a skipped dowel can leave a cabinet racked or a drawer slide binding. We work from the same picture-based instructions IKEA ships, check panel orientation before locking anything down, and anchor tall wardrobes and bookcases to the wall per the manufacturer’s tip-over guidance.
We match your IKEA product name and article number to the right hardware and build time.
Panels, cam locks, and dowels are laid out and checked against the instruction sheet.
Panels are joined, locked, and checked for square before doors or drawers go in.
The finished piece is levelled, wall-anchored if required, and packaging is cleared away.
Hex keys, cam-lock drivers, and a stud finder come with every visit, so you do not need to provide anything.
Flat-pack boxes, foam, and offcuts are bagged and removed before we consider the job finished.
Your price is confirmed before we start, based on the item and box count, not an hourly guess.
The most common DIY issues we see are cam locks tightened before the panel is fully seated, which can crack the particleboard, and dowels forced in at a slight angle, which throws off the whole panel alignment. Skipping the manual’s suggested build order is another frequent cause of a wardrobe or bed frame that will not quite square up by the final step.
