Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• Measure space and confirm wardrobe size and orientation

• Dismantle existing freestanding wardrobe where required and label parts

• Protect doors, floors and panels with covers and edge protection

• Reassemble and level wardrobe in new position and secure to wall where needed

• Carry parts through staircases or lift and use two-person lift for heavy panels

• Remove small packing and debris; arrange larger disposal as an extra if required

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most single wardrobe assembly or relocation takes 1–3 hours; moving several wardrobes or working to upper floors typically takes 3–6 hours. Factors that extend time include narrow staircases, required dismantling, waiting for parking or lifts, missing fixings and the need to secure to stud walls

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• Have you assembled or moved this brand/type before and can you show photos of similar jobs?

• Do you work as a one-person or two-person team for heavy panels and stairs?

• Will you supply fixings and wall anchors and check for studs before securing tall units?

• How do you handle damage, missing panels or extra time — do you charge a call-out or hourly rate?

• Do you carry public liability insurance and can you confirm waste disposal options and costs?

How to Avoid Surprises

• Clear pathways and doorways and measure stair widths and lifts before the visit

• Arrange parking or loading bay access and advise on permits or timed restrictions

• Check building or freeholder rules for moving large items in communal areas

• Have replacement fixings available or ask the tradie to bring suitable anchors

• Secure pets and remove fragile items from the work area
