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.

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 rawl 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 rawl plugs. Using the same generic rawl plug for everything is a recipe for the furniture to fall down weeks later. There's a category of home jobs that aren't plumbing, electricity, or carpentry itself. These are the things that have been on the to-do 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 yet to call a plumber. Adjustment of doors and windows. Building movement, temperature changes, and humidity cause doors to rub against the frame, windows not to close properly, or blinds to get stuck. Often the solution is a hinge adjustment or a localised sanding — a job of less than an hour.

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 at 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 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. Amazon is a special 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 assembleable or if it should be returned.

The price for repairs in Vilanova i la Geltrú typically ranges between 162 and 2025 euros. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials used, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. It depends on the model and complexity. A simple bookshelf is more affordable than a three-section wardrobe.
