Understanding Our Pricing

See how our transparent pricing system works

How Our Pricing Works

We use a units-based pricing system for transparent, fixed-price quotes. Every item in our database of 30,000+ products from 700+ suppliers has been assigned a unit value based on complexity and assembly time.

Units System

Each furniture item is assigned units based on complexity. A simple bedside table might be 1 unit, while a large PAX wardrobe could be 8-12 units.

Fixed Price Quote

We look up your items in our database and calculate the total units. Each unit equals a fixed amount of time and cost - no hourly rates or surprises.

Call-Out Fee

A single call-out fee covers travel and setup, regardless of how many items you need assembled. The more items, the better value per item.

Why This Works Better

No surprises - You know the exact price before we arrive
Fair pricing - Complex items cost more, simple items cost less
Consistent quality - We know exactly how long each item should take
Better value - Assembling multiple items means one call-out fee

Frequently Asked Questions

We use a units-based system. Every item in our database of 30,000+ products has been assigned units based on complexity and assembly time. We multiply the units by our rate (£0.57-£0.63 depending on region), add a variable call-out fee (£15-£35), and provide you with a fixed-price quote.

Our minimum charge is £50. This covers the call-out fee and basic assembly time. Larger jobs offer better value as the call-out fee is spread across more items.

The call-out fee varies based on your location relative to our existing work schedule. If we're already working nearby on a particular day, the fee will be lower. This helps us cluster work efficiently, reduce travel costs and pollution, and pass savings on to you.

No, we don't charge hourly rates. We use a fixed units-based system so you know exactly what you'll pay before we arrive. This is fairer than hourly charging where costs can jump unexpectedly.

We need the supplier name, product name or code, and your postcode. Product codes help us look items up in our database quickly. The more detail you provide, the more accurate your quote.

No. The price you see in your quote is the price you pay. We don't add extra charges for tools, travel time, or standard assembly work. Wall-fixing is quoted separately if required.
