The first risk is losing the manufacturer's warranty. IKEA, for example, requires assembly according to instructions for the warranty to be valid. If the furniture breaks due to incorrect assembly, it's not covered. We've seen wardrobes collapse a month after assembly because someone screwed crookedly or didn't use all the intended screws organised.

For complete IKEA, Leroy Merlin, or carpenter-built kitchens, the typical process involves several steps. A preliminary visit to measure and check the wall. Walls are never perfectly straight, and sometimes parts need to be adjusted to reality. Assembly of modules in the workshop when possible, to speed up the process. On-site installation with anchoring and levelling. Connection of appliances, coordinated with the electrician and plumber if needed. Fine adjustment of doors and drawers. And assembly of plinths and trims. IKEA is by far the most in-demand. Their furniture is reasonably well-designed; instructions are clear (though without text, they use universal drawings). Components fit together precisely when assembled correctly. The most common error is overtightening the plastic cam screws, which break and require replacement. The correct technique is to hand-tighten until it stops, then only give it half a turn more with a screwdriver, not an electric one. When the model requires it, secure wall anchoring with appropriate fixings for the material.

The total lead time is 2-4 days, depending on kitchen size. We recommend planning in advance because kitchens have long delivery times (4-8 weeks at IKEA, up to 12 in some stores), and it's advisable to have the handyman booked before the materials arrive. Amazon is a separate case because quality varies radically depending on the seller and brand. There are excellent furniture items and others that are unworkable and break during assembly. If you have doubts about the brand, send us a photo of the package before booking an appointment, and we'll tell you if it's feasible to assemble or if it's better to return it. A standard IKEA Billy bookcase takes 30-45 minutes. A three-door wardrobe with interior drawers, 90 minutes to 2 hours. A double bed with a slatted base, 60-90 minutes. An extendable dining table with chairs, 45-90 minutes depending on the model. A simple desk, 30-45 minutes.

The price for modular kitchens in Centre (Hospitalet) typically ranges between €28 and €315. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and work time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Before starting the work, the handyman reviews the task and provides you with a fixed written quote, with labour and materials itemised. If any unforeseen issues arise during the repair, we will consult you, and you decide whether to proceed. Each intervention is covered for thirty days: if the problem reappears, we return at no extra cost to re-examine it.
