Flat-pack assembly

Assembled properly

I put flat-pack together so it stands square, the doors line up and the fixings are actually done. That includes the large, fiddly ones, not only a small set of shelves you could finish in an hour. If the instructions are awkward, say so — the product name, or a photo of the boxes, is enough to start.

You deal with Charlie. I come out, build it, and tidy up. There’s no minimum job size, so a single piece is fine.

Fixed to the wall where needed

Tall wardrobes, bookcases and anything the instructions say should be secured get fixed to the wall. Tell me whether it’s going against masonry or a stud wall if you know, and what’s in the room around it. If it doesn’t need fixing, I won’t drill a hole for the sake of it.

This is not kitchen fitting

I don’t fit kitchens. Flat-pack here means furniture you’ve bought — a wardrobe, a desk, a bookcase, a large unit — that needs assembling in the house. If you want storage made to an alcove, an awkward wall or a sloped ceiling, that’s fitted wardrobes and shelving, not a box from a shop.

A door that should be hung while I’m there is doors and second fix. The wider small-job list is on joiner in Crieff, and where I’ll travel is on the areas page. Finished joinery, rather than flat-pack, is photographed on the work page.
