Assembly and at-home services

With IKEA assembly service, you decide how to spend your time. Because some days, assembling furniture is fun and fulfilling. Other days, not so much. Our skilled, convenient service lets you get life sorted instead of sorting screws.

Assembly service starts at £31. You can book while you’re shopping – online or in-store – or when you’re at home with your purchases. A skilled, reliable Tasker will do the assembling so that you can focus on your to-do list. Of course, you can always decide to do it yourself since all IKEA products are designed for easy assembly, which saves money, too. 

What's more, with TaskRabbit's at-home services, you can tackle your other home improvement plans, with services from wall mounting, painting and decorating to gardening.
