Furniture & Flat Pack Assembly

Description

Quick. Honest. Professional. All Pictures are examples of our own work! All our staff are English speaking, polite and discrete.

We specialise in the assembly of Flatpack Furniture from retailers like Ikea, Cousins, NCF, Argos, Next and Ebay. There's nothing we cant build, we have great experience so if you're after a showroom finish, its us you should chose.

Wardrobes, Chest of Drawers, Bedside Tables, Dressing Tables, Dining Tables, Sideboards, Cabinets, Bookcases, Shelving!

We have full public liability cover to the value of £2'000'000, for loss, damage and injury. If anything is damaged in our possession we get you like for like! All work comes with a 5 year labour, 5 year parts (where supplied) warranty!

Hi, we assemble or disassemble flat pack furniture and mount items to walls. We are very swift (it pays to so we can attend more jobs). We normally work within the boundaries of B, CV, WV & DY postcodes, however, we will gladly attend any jobs within the wider Midlands area. If you are prepared to pay for a good service will we come anywhere! We've done larger jobs as far as London, Manchester and Bristol.

For more details on what we do, visit our website link to the left or search 'Dr Flatpack'.

We currently have a number of build & mount specialists, this allows us to do commercial, large landlord and Estate agent jobs. We come with our own tools, as well as protective equipment where needed and can assemble anything as long as instructions are provided unless its a simple construction. For most items we could even build without instructions!

Our rates are low, payable to the end of the remaining hour. Normally we work during normal working hours, however on request we can work in the evenings for an extra fee.

Get in contact soon for a professional, polite and honest service!

Reviews:

Holly - 'We needed a whole house of furniture assembled for new tenants who wanted to move in quick. Mike came in a did it all in 2 days, we were very impressed. He charged us a day rate which saved me and my husband a bit of money!'

Lisa - Mike mounted our perfect TV setup in a couple hours which included a few cabinets. What can we say.... a perfect experience and the 12 month guarantee put us at ease.

Mr Khan - We had looked everywhere for a company to put our 60" LED TV on our dot and dab wall. Not one said it was possible. We rang these guys and they came quickly and we knew straight away they meant business. They had a number of options for us and we soon realised the rest were out of their depth. Considering the weight of the TV its kept on the wall perfectly. A***

Mohammed - 'We have a normal fitter but needed to use these guys as it was late. We called him around 7pm, by 8pm he was at our house and all done for midnight.... excellent'

Priya Kaur - When we hire people we always ask as many questions as possible and we use this as judgement for how knowledgeable and experienced they are. We quizzed this installer for 20 minutes first and he put all our nerves at ease. Having kids in the house we didn't want a TV stand any more. They came, scanned the whole wall and made sure it was installed securely. Perfect

Amarit - 'Dont hesitate to call him! Aside from making a bedroom for my daughter, Mike is now our preferred choice for general building and decorating work as hes very knowledgeable and professional.'

Mr Farnsworth - After being quoted £200 by Currys for mounting our £4000 TV we decided to give Mike a go. He quoted us 50% of their price and the service was what we would expect from a much more expensive job. Wife liked the look and service so much we got 2 more TVs done in the bedrooms.

Mr & Mrs Halligan - 'We both wanted new furniture for our dated living room but we had no vehicle. We chose all our stuff from Ikea and Mike organised pickup, payment and assembly really quick. Despite being the Christmas holidays he made time for us and took no break until it was done... A****

Toby - We hired Mike to come and hide the cables for our recently mounted TV. He had all the options with him and within the hour all our cables were neatly and quickly hidden. Great.

⭐ **1 STAR – WARNING: Avoid this company at all costs** I am leaving this review as a **serious warning to anyone considering Dr Flatpack**. My experience with this company was extremely unprofessional, misleading, and stressful, and I would strongly advise others to **look elsewhere**. Last month, an assembler (Kyle) attended and said the wardrobe was too large for the space. I accepted this explanation and reordered a smaller wardrobe. **No assembly work was carried out**, yet I was still **pressured to pay £50**. I only paid to avoid escalation and treated it as a misunderstanding, even though it felt unfair. Despite this, I **was still willing to give them another chance**. I rebooked for **6th January 2026**, which **Mike, the owner**, initially agreed to. I explained the wardrobe would be delivered **in the afternoon**, but as soon as this was mentioned, his attitude changed. He became rude, defensive, and suddenly claimed they "do not do same-day assembly when wardrobes are delivered". What makes this even more concerning is that **the previous month they had no issue with a same-day afternoon timeslot**. Their rules appear to change at will, making it impossible for any customer to know what to expect. From there, the communication was contradictory and inconsistent. I was told they don’t do afternoon slots, then told the booking would have been fine if I “called on the day,” despite earlier being told categorically that they would not attend. Taken together, this is **misleading, hypocritical, and completely unprofessional**. When I raised concerns, Mike attempted to guilt-trip and intimidate me via WhatsApp, making personal attacks, claiming I was letting my ego control me, and warning of “legal consequences” if I left a review. Shortly after, he blocked me entirely, preventing any communication instead of addressing legitimate concerns. Anyone considering this company should be aware that they **pressure customers for money even when no work is done, refuse to provide written policies, constantly change rules and attempt to intimidate customers, this company is completely unreliable and untrustworthy.**. This experience was stressful, frustrating, and disappointing. I will **never use this company again** and would **strongly advise anyone reading this review to avoid them entirely**.

Kyle did a good job of building the cupboards. However, there was also some carpentry involved. When booking the job, I was told there would be a 'small wait' for the carpenter. I chased Mike several times to arrange this, but he didn't get back to me and I gave up. It was disappointing to have the job half done (although I hadn't yet paid for the carpentry). It was also difficult for someone else to pick up the job with no handover/communication. I'd recommend Kyle but not a job where separate carpentry is required.

I contacted Mike for some outdoor furniture that I required to be built. Communication was seamless and somebody was sent out to me within a couple of days to complete the job. Kyle was fantastic. He was so quick and efficient. Was so pleased. Will definitely be using again!!

Kyle came yesterday to help with installing a study table, books rack , a wardrobe, and mounting a TV on the wall. He was extremely polite, professional, and clearly very skilled at what he does. Everything was done perfectly and with great attention to detail. I really appreciated his positive attitude and respectfulness — highly recommend him and the company!

Thank you Mike & Kyle! :) Poonam
