Furniture Assembly in Alvalade

About our service in Alvalade

Corridors are the recurring obstacle. In these blocks a hallway may be barely wider than a wardrobe carcass is deep, and turning an assembled unit through a bedroom door at the end of it is simply not possible. So we take the measurements first, and where the finished piece will not travel, it gets built in the bedroom itself with the cartons brought through flat. It sounds obvious; it is also the difference between a smooth afternoon and a half-built wardrobe stuck in a hallway. The construction of the period is consistent and easy to work with once you know it. Partitions are hollow brick under a firm plaster skim, external walls are heavier, and neither takes kindly to a plug driven in with too much torque. We drill clean, blow the hole out and use anchors that grip the void properly, which matters when a bookcase full of books is going to hang off it for the next decade. Where a flat has been renovated and a partition replaced with plasterboard, we treat that wall differently and say so, rather than assuming the whole flat is the same behind the paint. A good part of our work in this neighbourhood is for long-settled residents who no longer fancy an afternoon on the floor with an Allen key, and for their families ordering furniture on their behalf. That means we do a lot of straightforward, useful jobs: a new bed with a higher frame, drawer units that replace a wardrobe nobody can reach into, television stands, storage for the arrecadação, and garden chairs and tables for the shared courtyards behind the blocks. Whatever it is, we clear the packaging out at the end. Costs depend on how many items there are, how involved they are, whether an old piece has to be dismantled and removed, and the access on the day.
