The primary risk is voiding 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 screws were inserted incorrectly or not all specified screws were used.

A preliminary visit is mandatory for a fixed quote and planning.

The second risk is wall damage. Anchoring a tall cabinet to the wall without appropriate rawlplugs for the material can tear out plaster or brick when someone pulls on a drawer. There are specific rawlplugs for each material (concrete, brick, plasterboard, tiles). Using the same generic rawlplug for everything is a recipe for the furniture falling down weeks later. There's a category of home jobs that aren't plumbing, electrical, or carpentry strictly speaking. These are the things that have been on the list for months and could be resolved 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. Adjustment of doors and windows. Building movement, temperature changes, and humidity can cause doors to scrape against frames, windows not to close properly, or blinds to get stuck. Often the solution is a hinge adjustment or a quick sanding, a job of less than an hour.

The total timeframe 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. A standard IKEA Billy bookshelf 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. Leroy Merlin has similar quality to IKEA in the mid-to-high range and slightly lower in the economy range. Their own brand kitchen units are usually 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, something IKEA usually doesn't need.

The price of repairs in La Salut (Badalona) typically ranges between €162 and €2025. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time.
