Will you assemble furniture I bought online?

Yes, whatever the retailer. All we need is the assembly manual — it is either in the box or available as a PDF from the manufacturer.

What happens if parts are missing or damaged?

We tell you straight away and photograph the damage so you can claim from the seller. Everything that can be built without the missing part we finish; the rest we complete in a short second visit.

Can you fit a whole kitchen?

The furniture side, yes: base and wall units levelled and aligned, worktop cut to fit, plinths and handles. We do not carry out work on electrical or water connections — that is a job for a certified specialist firm.

Will you take the packaging away?

Yes, on request we take cardboard, polystyrene and film with us. Just mention it when you enquire.

Can you dismantle furniture when I move out?

Yes. We take it apart, label the parts and bundle them with the matching fittings, so reassembly at the new place runs without surprises.

Wardrobe dismantling and reassembly in Leipzig

Taking a wardrobe apart and putting it back up at the new address costs €35/hr — a PAX wardrobe is charged by the linear metre at €15/lin m. We come with our own tools, number the parts and reassemble the same day. We give the fixed price beforehand from photos.

What dismantling a wardrobe really costs

Most wardrobes are not built to be assembled twice. Chipboard breaks out around the dowel holes, back panels are stapled on, and the sliding-door rails of a PAX survive exactly one dismantling if you release them properly. That is why we charge by time rather than a flat rate: a two-metre wardrobe is down in an hour, a four-metre wall unit with sliding doors takes three to four.

How we work so the wardrobe survives the move

A wardrobe that was treated properly when taken apart stands straight again afterwards. The difference lies in small things that cost time and are therefore often skipped.

Fittings go into labelled bags, one bag per section of the wardrobe
Side panels are numbered — when reassembling, every hole lines up again
Sliding doors are taken off and transported flat, not upright
The back panel comes off in one piece if it still holds, otherwise we get a new one
Broken-out dowel holes we fill and set the fitting slightly offset

If the wardrobe is made of particle board

With very cheap wardrobes we say beforehand if dismantling is risky. Sometimes a new wardrobe is cheaper than working time plus spare parts — we say so openly, even when it means we earn less.

Dismantling for a move — worth it or not?

Not every wardrobe has to come apart. A two-metre wardrobe often goes through the door and staircase in one piece, and then you save the dismantling entirely. We decide that on site in two minutes: measure, look at the staircase, done.

Worth dismantling

Wall unit wider than 2.5 m
Narrow staircase or a spiral staircase
Door frame narrower than 80 cm
The wardrobe has to go up three floors without a lift

Carrying it whole is enough

A single wardrobe up to 2 m, taken apart where it stands
There is a lift
Ground or first floor
The wardrobe is old and would not survive being taken apart

Three examples of how it works in practice

So you can judge the time — these are jobs as they actually run with us. The sums given are labour, without transport and without materials.

Assembly only: a new wardrobe out of the box

The wardrobe had been standing in the hallway for three weeks. Assembled, aligned against a crooked old wall, doors adjusted, packaging taken with us.

€30–45/hr

What to sort out beforehand

The less we have to look for and clear on site, the shorter the paid time. Four things make the biggest difference:

Empty the wardrobe — clothes, boxes and drawer contents out
About two square metres of free floor in front of the wardrobe to lay the parts on
Find the assembly instructions if you still have them — saves time with system furniture
Tell us which floor the wardrobe goes to and whether there is a lift

Questions

Common questions about dismantling wardrobes

What does it cost to have a wardrobe dismantled?

We charge by time, €35/hr — a wardrobe two metres wide comes apart in about an hour, a wall unit with sliding doors takes three to four hours. For PAX there is an alternative by the linear metre at €15/lin m.

Do you also put the wardrobe back up at the new flat?

Yes, usually the same day. Dismantling and assembly run as one job, and in between we carry the parts in our own van. That is the normal case, not the exception.

Can an IKEA PAX be dismantled at all?

Yes, if the sliding-door rails are released properly and the carcasses are not twisted. Once it works reliably. With a wardrobe that has already moved twice we say beforehand when the dowel holes no longer hold.

What happens if something breaks during dismantling?

Broken-out dowel holes we fill and set the fitting offset — that holds. If a part really does break, we say so immediately and get a replacement if you want. We do not have goods insurance, so before we start we say openly when a piece of furniture is unlikely to survive being taken apart.

Do I have to empty the wardrobe beforehand?

Yes. Clothes, boxes and drawer contents should be out when we arrive — otherwise the paid time goes on clearing. The drawers themselves can stay in, we take them out one by one.

How quickly can you come?

For a single wardrobe usually within two or three days. At month-end, when everyone is moving, allow a week.
