Follow the longest panel from entrance to final position
Apartment assembly with the route checked.
For a Swiss Cottage apartment, confirm which entrance and lift can be used for larger components. Check that the intended furniture fits its final position as well as the route, especially for tall or wide storage.
A box passing the entrance does not establish a route for every component. Include intermediate doors and the turn out of the lift when describing a tall storage delivery.
Assembly should normally be planned around the intended destination, not a convenient lobby. A completed wardrobe may be much harder to move than the separate panels that arrived.

CLEAR BEFORE YOU BOOK
Include component handling in the assembly quote
From £30
A small-item build is different from handling a tall wardrobe through restricted access.
Assessment first

| Repair or fitting | Handling route and existing obstructions | Quotation |

What affects the final handyman cost?+
Include any unusual carrying route before requesting an assembly quotation. A second handling requirement, restricted work area or separate dismantling task should not emerge as an assumed inclusion.

QUICK ANSWERS
Before relying on the delivery route
How is access priced?
Describe carrying constraints alongside the actual assembly products.
Which work fits?
Assembly, suitable fittings and defined minor repairs can be reviewed.
Several units?
List all models so tools and work space can be assessed.
What materials?
Agree who supplies materials. Keep complete hardware packs with their matching panels.
How much time?
The product sequence and access affect the planned duration.
Furniture assembly?
Furniture assembly is available. Check the final room, not merely delivery access.
Wall mounting?
Screens and shelves need suitable support and handling arrangements.
Rental arrangements?
Identify the owner approving attachments and the person providing entry.
DIFFERENT ROOMS, DIFFERENT BRIEFS
Building entry is only the first access check
Flats & apartments
Give the permitted entrance and floor number.
Period properties
Photograph awkward turns rather than assuming a straight route.
Rental homes
Confirm authority for furniture restraint fixings.
Houses
Check landings between the entrance and destination.
Offices
Keep business equipment outside the carrying line.
Managed properties
Verify lift arrangements with the responsible contact.
Homeowner? Prioritise everyday faults.
Landlord or manager? Authorise the repair scope.
Tenant? Obtain permission for alterations.
BUILD A REALISTIC LIST
Choose work at the furniture’s destination
Select tasks for the rooms that can actually be reached. These choices organise an enquiry and do not reserve a lift, approve access or book an appointment.
DIY or call a handyman?
| Situation | A practical next step |
|---|---|
| Familiar task | Measure accessible openings without attempting to carry oversized panels alone. |
| Multiple or awkward jobs | Keep the build near its final destination when moving a finished unit would be difficult. |
| Uncertain mounting | Wall restraints require the manufacturer’s instructions and a reviewed attachment point. |
| Regulated or specialist work | Do not alter doors or fixed services simply to force a delivery through. |

THE DETAILS OF YOUR VISIT
Swiss Cottage: planning the handyman appointment
Does lift access guarantee the wardrobe can reach my flat?
No. The exit turn and intermediate openings also need consideration.
Can the unit be assembled downstairs then carried up?
Describe that proposal beforehand; the completed furniture may not fit or be suitable for moving that way.
What should I measure on the route?
Include doors, tight turns and lift space alongside the largest component dimensions.
Who books the building’s lift?
Confirm your building’s arrangements with its responsible contact rather than assuming this is included.
Must all packages be in the same place?
Keep related components together and explain their location so missing boxes are not mistaken for complete delivery.
Can a tall unit be raised under the ceiling?
Check the product instructions and raising clearance, not only its finished height.
Is moving an existing cabinet part of assembly?
Only where that handling has been described and agreed separately.
What if building access changes on the day?
Contact Alesta to review the appointment; a restricted route can prevent the planned work.
Should I provide the flat number before booking?
Yes. Precise address and access information are needed when checking appointment availability.
TURN THE LIST INTO A PLAN
