IKEA furniture assembly in Paddington

Paddington 2021 terraces are the most challenging IKEA assembly environment in our service area. Narrow stairwells, original timber doors that won't take the carry-clearance, lath-and-plaster on hardwood stud, and heritage finishes that punish a slip of the drill.

Paddington context

What ikea furniture assembly looks like in Paddington

We routinely break IKEA components down further than the picking instructions suggest — separating a PAX side panel into its sub-pieces is sometimes the only way to get it up a Paddington terrace stairwell. Lath-and-plaster walls on hardwood stud frame need structural lag screws into the timber, never wall-anchors into the lath. Sandstock party walls take chemical anchors well but every perpend joint is crumbling — we offset every anchor to a brick face. Original cornice and picture rails frame what's possible; PAX placement gets planned around them, not over them.
