Furniture Assembly in Campo de Ourique

Campo de Ourique is a neighbourhood of families in buildings that went up between the 1930s and the 1950s, and that combination shapes the furniture work here. Most blocks around Prazeres, Santo Condestável and the streets near the Mercado have no lift, generous ceiling heights and stairwells that turn tightly at each half-landing. We serve the whole area, and we treat the carry as part of the job rather than an afterthought. Once inside, tall units, library shelving and children's bedroom furniture are what we assemble most, all of it built square, levelled on old timber floors and fixed back to the wall where it needs to be.

About our service in Campo de Ourique

Getting up the stairs comes first. A three-metre carton for a bookcase does not negotiate a tight half-landing, so we check the turn and the handrail before agreeing how the delivery should be brought in, and we open cartons on the ground floor when the panels travel better separately. Buildings without a lift are the rule rather than the exception around Rua Ferreira Borges, and residents here are used to it, but there is no reason for a customer to be doing that carry themselves. Ceiling height is the pleasure and the risk of these flats. Rooms are tall enough to take full-height wardrobes with extension units on top, or shelving that runs right up the wall, and that is exactly what people want in flats where floor area is limited. The taller the piece, the more the anchoring matters. The walls are typically hollow brick under a soft lime plaster, which crumbles if you overtighten a plug, so we drill without hammer where the substrate is fragile, use anchors that spread the load, and strap every high carcass back to the wall as the manufacturer intends. In homes with small children that is not a formality; it is the single most important step of the assembly. Original wooden floors add the last complication. They creak, they slope and they are rarely square to the wall, so wardrobe doors that were perfectly aligned on the shop floor will bind once the carcass takes the shape of the room. We set the adjustable feet, pack the low corner, then work through hinges and drawer runners until the gaps read evenly along the whole front. Bunk beds, study desks, toy storage and kitchen dressers make up much of the rest of what we build in this neighbourhood. The quote depends on how many pieces there are, how tall and complex they are, the floor you live on and whether an old unit has to come apart and go out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What neighbours in Campo de Ourique ask us most often:

Do you carry furniture up to a fourth floor with no lift?

Yes. Most buildings in this neighbourhood are walk-ups, so it is built into how we work. We do ask about the floor and the width of the stair turns in advance so the right number of people turn up.

Is it really necessary to screw a wardrobe to the wall?

For anything tall, yes, and especially in a home with children. Manufacturers supply the strap for a reason. In these old walls the strap only works if the anchor behind it suits hollow brick and soft plaster, which is the part we take care over.

My floor slopes and the wardrobe doors rub. Can that be fixed?

It can. We level the carcass on its feet with packers under the low side, then reset the hinges and runners so the gaps are even. Old timber floors in this area almost always need that step.
