Furniture Assembly in Belém

About our service in Belém

Old Belém buildings are generously built and unforgiving to drill. Behind the plaster you commonly find solid stone or dense brick, which is good news for holding a heavy bookcase but means a cordless drill on rotary alone will simply polish the surface. We work with a hammer drill and anchors sized for the substrate, and we take the dust seriously in occupied homes, catching it at the hole rather than sweeping it off the floor afterwards. The same rooms often carry high skirting boards, picture rails and cornices, so a flat-pack wardrobe designed for a bare modern wall will not sit back against the plaster without adjustment. We notch the plinth or pack the carcass out so the unit stands upright and flush instead of leaning forward. In Restelo the questions change. There is more space, so the pieces are bigger: sliding-door wardrobe runs, island units for utility rooms, sideboards, garden and terrace sets that need every bolt torqued properly because they stay outdoors through an Atlantic winter. Houses on several levels also raise the plain question of whether an assembled item can leave the room it was built in, and we think about that before starting rather than after. Where a bed base will not pass a landing in one piece, it gets built upstairs. A steady share of the work comes from short-let apartments around the monumental area, where furniture takes a beating from suitcases and constant turnover. Sofa beds, bunk rooms, luggage benches and desks all get replaced faster than in a family home, and owners want them assembled between bookings without fuss. Cost follows the job: how many items, how complex, whether an old piece has to be dismantled and carried out, the floor level and access. Send photographs of the boxes and the room and we will quote without obligation.
