Furniture assembly in Nairobi: fitter building a bed frame with a cordless drill

Big furniture rarely fits through doors in one piece. Beds, wardrobes, bunk beds and large desks usually need to come apart before a move, and then go back together in the new home. Done badly, screws strip, joints loosen and the bed creaks forever. Done well, the furniture feels as solid as the day it was made.

Our fitters do this every day, both as part of a move and as a separate service for new furniture. This page explains what we assemble, how we work and what it costs.

Dismantling and reassembly during a move

When we move a home, dismantling and reassembly are part of the plan. Here is how our fitters handle it.

  1. Check. First, the fitter checks each piece and notes any loose joints or missing screws.
  2. Dismantle. Next, each part is taken apart in order, and hardware goes into a labelled bag.
  3. Protect. Then, panels are wrapped in blankets, and glass and mirrors are packed separately.
  4. Move. The parts travel together on the truck, so nothing is separated.
  5. Reassemble. Finally, the fitter builds each piece in the room where you want it and checks it is level and firm.

This is included in our full house moving service. You can also book it separately if you are moving yourself with a hired lorry.

Flat-pack and new furniture assembly

Flat-pack furniture is popular in Nairobi because it is affordable and easy to deliver. However, the instructions can be confusing, and a wrong step early on means undoing hours of work. Our fitters build flat-pack pieces quickly and correctly. They also remove the packaging, so your home is tidy when they leave. If your furniture came from a local carpenter without instructions, we can still assemble it.

How furniture assembly in Nairobi is priced

Most jobs are priced per item, depending on size and complexity.

For several items, we can quote a half-day or full-day booking instead, which is often simpler. Wall fixing and extra hardware are priced on top. Our moving cost guide explains how assembly fits into a full move.

Fixing furniture to the wall

Fixing them to the wall with brackets is a simple step that prevents serious accidents. Our fitters use the right plugs for brick, concrete block or drywall. They also check for hidden pipes and cables before drilling. If you want a TV on the wall too, see our TV mounting service.

Office furniture assembly

New offices often receive dozens of desks, chairs and cabinets at once. Building them all takes time, and staff need to be working by Monday. So our office team assembles workstations in rows, links cable trays and fits partitions according to your floor plan. For relocations, we dismantle at the old office on Friday and reassemble at the new one over the weekend. As a result, staff return to working desks. Our office movers page explains the full process.

Furniture Assembly

Tools and hardware we bring

Our fitters carry cordless drills, screwdriver sets, Allen keys, spirit levels, rubber mallets, wall plugs and brackets. They also carry spare screws, hinges and cam locks in common sizes, plus felt pads for floors. That way, a lost screw does not stop the job. For unusual furniture, we may ask for a photo first, so we bring the right parts.

Common furniture assembly mistakes to avoid

  • Over-tightening screws in particle board, which strips the holes.
  • Skipping the back panel on wardrobes, which keeps them square.
  • Using the wrong screws in the wrong holes.
  • Building a tall wardrobe lying down in a room too small to stand it up.
  • Leaving tall units free-standing in a home with children.

Each of these causes wobbly or damaged furniture. Therefore it often pays to book a fitter for big pieces, even if you handle smaller ones yourself.

Furniture safety at home

Falling furniture injures children around the world every year. Simple steps help, such as wall brackets, putting heavy items on low shelves and keeping drawers closed. You can learn more about home safety for children from UNICEF Kenya. Our fitters will gladly advise on safer placement while they work. Likewise, they can lower heavy mirrors that hang too high.

Why choose our furniture assembly in Nairobi

Our fitters are part of a moving company. Consequently, they understand how furniture behaves in transit, and they know which joints loosen on bumpy roads. They label every part, keep every screw and finish every job with a level and a firm shake test. Whether you need a single bed built or a whole office set up, our furniture assembly in Nairobi service leaves your pieces solid, safe and ready to use.

Furniture assembly in Nairobi for new homes and rentals

Many people move into a new apartment and then buy most of their furniture in the first month. As a result, boxes arrive from several shops over several weeks. Instead of building each piece alone in the evenings, you can book one visit and have everything built in a day. Our furniture assembly in Nairobi service suits landlords too. For example, landlords furnishing short-stay or serviced units often need ten beds and ten wardrobes built at once. In that case, we send two or three fitters and finish the job quickly. Afterwards, we leave the units clean, with the packaging removed, so they are ready for photos and guests.

Repairing wobbly furniture

Furniture that has been moved several times often becomes loose. For instance, beds start to creak, wardrobe doors drop and drawers stick. In many cases, the fix is simple. A fitter tightens the joints, replaces worn cam locks, adjusts the hinges and adds a missing back panel. Similarly, a drawer that sticks may just need its runners realigned. These small repairs cost far less than new furniture, and we can do them during a move or as a separate visit. However, if a piece is badly damaged, we will tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it.
