WEST HAMPSTEAD IN PRACTICE
Fit the storage around the workstation, not through it
Settle the desk and storage jobs together.
For a West Hampstead workspace, keep the chair route and existing sockets visible in the layout. A shelf should not make the desk awkward to use, and a new power point is a separate electrical request.
A monitor can make a shelf appear too low only after the desk is assembled. Measure the actual equipment height and include the shelf depth in the same drawing.
Consider how storage opens while someone is seated. A drawer unit sharing the chair route can remain awkward even when every piece technically fits against the wall.

THE DETAILS OF YOUR VISIT
West Hampstead: planning the handyman appointment
Can shelves be planned before I choose a desk?
Provide the intended dimensions, but confirm the final arrangement before fixing positions that depend on it.
Why include monitor height?
It affects usable clearance beneath shelving and access around equipment already on the desk.
Can a pedestal fit behind the chair?
Its closed dimensions are insufficient; include drawer extension and space to stand up.
Will you disconnect my workstation?
Specify equipment handling separately and confirm who is responsible for disconnection and reconnection.
Can another socket be added during assembly?
Request qualified electrical work separately; desk assembly does not imply fixed-wiring alterations.
Does a desk return change the quotation?
Include the complete model and components so the actual product, rather than a basic desk, is reviewed.
Can repairs happen while a colleague uses the next desk?
Describe the shared arrangement and available work zone before an appointment is agreed.
Will wall storage hide the existing leads?
Do not assume concealment. State the desired cable arrangement and any separate specialist requirements.
What marks completion for furniture work?
Review the agreed assembled items, openings and fittings; IT configuration remains a distinct scope.
TURN THE LIST INTO A PLAN
Send the desk-and-storage drawing
A single layout showing desk, monitor, chair and storage will make the furniture enquiry much clearer.
