Most handymen charge £20–£50 per item for flatpack assembly, depending on size and complexity. A simple bookcase might be the lower end, while a large wardrobe with sliding doors or a bed frame with a storage base will sit at the higher end.
Typical Assembly Times
- Small bookcase or bedside table: 20–40 minutes
- Chest of drawers: 45–75 minutes
- Double wardrobe: 1.5–3 hours
- Bed frame: 45–90 minutes
Booking Multiple Items Together
If you have several items to assemble, booking them in one visit is almost always more cost-effective than separate call-outs, since the handyman only travels once. Mention everything you need doing when requesting quotes so you get an accurate price.
What to Have Ready
Make sure all boxes are in the room they will end up in (some items are very difficult to move once built), and that you have enough clear floor space to assemble safely.
