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, they will not cover it. We have seen wardrobes collapse a month after assembly because someone screwed crookedly or did not use all the intended screws. The price depends on the time and materials required.

When the model requires it, secure wall anchoring with appropriate plugs for the material. The second risk is damage to the wall. Anchoring a tall wardrobe to the wall without appropriate plugs for the material can tear out plaster or brick when someone pulls a drawer. For each material (concrete, brick, plasterboard, tile) there are specific plugs. Using the same generic plug for everything is a recipe for the furniture to fall weeks later. There's a category of home jobs that aren't plumbing, electrical, or carpentry proper. These are the things that have been on the list for months and could be solved in an afternoon if you had the tools and the inclination. The picture that needs hanging. The door that scrapes. The IKEA furniture that arrived two months ago and is still in its box. The upstairs bathroom tap that drips but not enough to call a plumber yet.

Amazon is a separate case because quality varies radically depending on the seller and brand. There are excellent pieces of furniture and others that are unviable 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 assemblable or if it's better to return it. Leroy Merlin has a similar quality to IKEA in the mid-to-high range and slightly lower in the economy range. Their own kitchen units are usually of good quality. The drawback is that components often come slightly misaligned from the factory and require adjusting hinges and runners at the end of assembly, which IKEA usually doesn't need. _A standard IKEA Billy bookcase takes 30-45 minutes. A three-door wardrobe with internal 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 soundproofing in La Font d'en Fargues typically ranges between €153 and €2000. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. For transparency: the handyman does not perform jobs requiring specific legal certification. For plumbing affecting main pipes or drains, we call a plumber. For any work on the electrical panel or new circuits, a certified electrician. For gas installation, an authorised technician. If the job you have in mind falls into one of these categories, we will inform you when you request a quote. “They assembled the entire IKEA kitchen in one afternoon. Punctual, tidy, and good value.
