Furniture Dismantling & Reassembly

    Professional flat pack dismantling and reassembly for house moves and relocations across Hertfordshire and London.

    Moving house and worried your IKEA PAX won't fit through the new doorway? We Build Pro has been dismantling and reassembling flat pack furniture since 2019 — wardrobes, beds, drawers, desks and entire offices across St Albans, Watford, Camden, Islington and the rest of Hertfordshire and London.

    Most removal companies will not touch flat pack — they only shift it. We bridge that gap: we dismantle the day before or morning of your move, keep all fixings bagged per item, and rebuild at the new property to the same standard as the original assembly. Cam locks released in the right order, no split MDF, no missing screws.

    Why Use a Pro for Dismantling?

    Removal Companies Won't Touch It

    Most removal firms refuse to dismantle or rebuild flat pack — they'll only move it. We fill that gap so your move runs in a single day.

    PAX & Sliding Wardrobes

    Large IKEA PAX runs and sliding-door wardrobes will not fit through standard doorways assembled. They have to come apart for any move.

    Avoid Snapped MDF

    Flat pack is designed to be built once. Released in the wrong order, cam locks tear through MDF. We know the correct sequence for every major brand.

    Fixings Never Get Lost

    Every screw, dowel and bracket is bagged and labelled per item, so nothing is missing when we rebuild — the single biggest cause of failed DIY reassembly.

    What We Dismantle & Reassemble

    Wardrobes & IKEA PAX

    Dismantling of freestanding, sliding-door and PAX wardrobe systems for house moves. Hinges, rails and panels labelled so reassembly is fast and exact at the new property.

    Beds & Bed Frames

    Wooden, metal, ottoman and storage beds taken apart safely. Slats, brackets and fixings bagged and labelled. Mattress wrapped if requested.

    Bedroom & Living Room Furniture

    Chests of drawers, bedside tables, TV units, sideboards and bookcases — dismantled cleanly for the removal van, then rebuilt the same week at the new address.

    Office Furniture

    Desks, pedestals, filing cabinets and shelving dismantled for office relocations across Hertfordshire and London. Cam locks released properly to avoid splitting MDF.

    How It Works

    Photograph & Plan

    Before any tools come out we photograph the build from every angle and note the disassembly order so reassembly matches exactly.

    Careful Dismantle

    Cam locks, dowels and screws released in the correct order to avoid splitting MDF or stripping threads. Fixings bagged per item.

    Pack For Transit

    Panels stacked and protected so they survive the van. We can coordinate with your removal company on timing.

    Reassemble On Arrival

    Rebuilt at the new property to the same standard as a new flat pack — wall-anchored where needed, drawers and doors fully adjusted.

    Dismantling & Reassembly FAQs

    Do you dismantle furniture for house moves?

    Yes — furniture dismantling and reassembly for house moves is one of our most-booked services. We can dismantle the day before your removal and reassemble at the new property the same day or next day. We cover all of Hertfordshire and London.

    Can IKEA PAX wardrobes be dismantled and reassembled?

    Yes, but it must be done carefully. PAX frames use cam locks and dowels that need to be released in the correct order to avoid splitting the MDF. We dismantle, bag the fixings per item, and rebuild at the new property to the original spec.

    How much does furniture dismantling cost?

    Dismantling is priced per item based on size and complexity. A standard chest of drawers is quick; a wall of PAX with sliding doors takes longer. We give a fixed quote upfront with no hidden fees.

    Will reassembled furniture be as strong as new?

    Yes, when done properly. Because we release cam locks and dowels in the correct sequence and keep every fixing, the rebuild is structurally identical to the original assembly. We also wall-anchor tall units at the new property.

    Do you work with removal companies?

    Yes — we regularly coordinate timing with removal firms across Hertfordshire and London. You can book us to dismantle before the van arrives, and reassemble once it's unloaded at the new address.
