Assembling a section

Assembling a Section

Adding a new section to your furniture can transform how a room works, whether you are extending a wardrobe, building a larger shelving run, or creating a smarter storage wall. We provide careful, reliable assembly that keeps everything aligned, stable, and safe for daily use. From single add on modules to multi part expansions, we follow the manufacturer steps, check parts and fixings, and assemble with the right tools for a clean finish.

Many section builds look simple on the box but can become time consuming once you factor in wall conditions, uneven floors, missing fixings, or unclear instructions. Our team handles those details, so the final setup looks intentional and feels solid. If you are combining old and new pieces, we also help you match heights, align doors, and keep gaps even for a seamless look.

What we assemble and how the service works

Section types we can build

We assemble a wide range of section based furniture for homes and businesses. This includes storage walls, modular shelving, cabinet runs, office systems, and add on units that expand existing furniture. Clients often book us for wardrobe section extensions, tall shelving bays, cabinet towers, and drawer modules that must line up with an existing frame.

• Wardrobe and closet sections, including rails, drawers, and internal organizers
• Shelving sections for living rooms, utility spaces, and retail displays
• Cabinet and sideboard sections, including door alignment and soft close hinges
• Office sections such as desk returns, storage pedestals, and filing modules
• Media wall and bookcase sections that need leveling and anchoring

Our step by step assembly process

Every job starts with a quick review of the plan, the room, and the parts. We confirm measurements, identify wall materials for safe fixing, and check that the section will not interfere with skirting, sockets, or door swing. If a unit needs to be anchored, we locate suitable fixing points and use appropriate wall plugs and fasteners.

1. Unpack and sort parts to prevent mix ups and damage
2. Assemble frames, braces, and internal supports in the correct order
3. Level the base and correct minor floor unevenness where possible
4. Fit doors, drawers, runners, and handles, then fine tune alignment
5. Anchor to the wall when required and complete stability checks

If you are booking broader furniture assembly services for multiple items, we can group tasks efficiently to reduce disruption, especially for move ins, refits, or office setups.

Quality, safety, and long term stability

Alignment, leveling, and load safety

A section is only as good as its alignment. We focus on squareness, correct spacing, and proper fastening, so doors close smoothly and drawers glide without rubbing. Leveling is essential for tall runs, especially when adding a new module to an older unit that has settled over time.

For larger builds we test for racking, check back panels and braces, and ensure the load is supported correctly. Where manufacturers specify anti tip straps or wall anchors, we install them as intended to reduce risk, particularly in homes with children or high traffic commercial spaces.

Helping with issues during assembly

Sometimes a section arrives with missing hardware, damaged boards, or pre drilled holes that do not line up. We can often complete the build by using suitable replacement fixings, reinforcing weak points, or adjusting hardware placement without compromising the structure. If a part is beyond use, we will explain what is needed for a proper replacement before proceeding.

Clients who need both assembly and corrective work can combine the visit with furniture repair services, such as hinge changes, runner swaps, tightening loose joints, or improving stability where an older unit has become shaky.

Residential and commercial section assembly

Home projects

In residential settings we assemble sections with attention to finish and minimal mess. We protect nearby flooring where practical, keep fixings organized, and place units to suit your routine. Whether it is a bedroom wardrobe extension, a hallway storage run, or a living room bookcase wall, we aim for a clean, built in feel.

Offices, retail, and multi unit installations

Commercial section builds often involve repeated units, tighter schedules, and specific placement. We assemble and position modules so walkways remain clear and storage is accessible. If you are fitting out a workspace, we can coordinate add on storage, desk returns, and filing sections as part of professional furniture assembly for a consistent finish across the site.

Preparing for your appointment

To help the job run smoothly, please have the boxes on site and ensure there is space to lay parts out safely. If you are adding a section to existing furniture, it helps to share the brand and model details, along with photos of the current setup. Let us know if you want the unit anchored, and if there are wall types to consider such as plasterboard, brick, or tile.

When the assembly is complete, we do a final check of stability, door and drawer action, and overall alignment so you can start using the new section with confidence.
