Waverley context

What ikea furniture assembly looks like in Waverley

Inter-war double-brick homes (1920s onwards in Waverley) are the most forgiving — standard 8mm masonry anchors hold a wall-anchored PAX without complaint. Edwardian semis often have lath-and-plaster on internal partitions and shared sandstock party walls; the anchor depends on which wall the wardrobe is going against. The shared party walls need slow-drill chemical anchors to avoid blowing through to the neighbour's room — we've seen the consequences of fast-drilling sandstock more than once. Doorways are tighter than modern, but most Waverley rooms have at least one straight hallway run that lets us tilt in.

Recent Waverley job

Recent: 250cm PAX with a side run of KALLAX in a Birrell Street Edwardian semi. PAX anchored to the original double-brick external wall with chemical anchors, KALLAX free-standing with anti-tip strap to a stud-located internal wall, full level run across both. Five hours, including a return trip to swap a defective hinge that IKEA supplied damaged.
