Kitchens, Wardrobes and Cabinetry, Assembled Properly

Flatpack is only as good as the way it goes together. Cabinets need to be square, level across an uneven floor and fixed securely to the wall, and the doors and drawers need adjusting so the gaps are even and everything closes softly. That’s where most DIY jobs go wrong, and it’s where 35 years in the building industry helps.

Most of my flatpack work is Bunnings Kaboodle and IKEA, but I assemble and install other brands too. If the room needs work first, like a bulkhead above the kitchen cabinets or a small plasterboard wall to box in a wardrobe, I build that as well, so the cabinets fit the room as if they were made for it.

Flatpack Assembly and Installation Services

I take on flatpack jobs from a single cabinet to a full kitchen. If the room needs carpentry or plastering to suit the new cabinets, I do that too, so you only need one person for the whole job.

Highly recommend! A highly skilled, professional handyman with a building background who provides excellent service!! As a female property owner with no handyman skills, I assembled my new dining set and attempted to put new light bulbs in my bunker lights on my balconies. My dining table and chairs the are now perfectly sturdy and safe, and the light bulbs are installed for my bunker balcony outdoor lights 🙏

Dan and Sue have been exceptional in helping us tear down our old pool motor shed and constructing a new one. Dan has been more than kind, patient and informative throughout the job. Both are very easy to communicate with and accommodating. Once again so appreciative of your amazing work, thank you!

I contacted Surve after reading the positive reviews. We required a quick turnaround on various jobs at an empty investment property. Dan and Sue went out of their way to accommodate such a late notice request even working weekends to fit us in. Their communication was great, the itemised invoice and photos were very beneficial as we don't live close by and rely heavily on communication, photos and a professional operator. Highly recommended.

Dan was the best. Not only was his work top quality, he communicated everything clearly and was a joy to have in the house. Sue was also great with prompt responses and booking queries. I can't recommend Surve Property Maintenance highly enough. They will be the first to call next time I need something.

Frequently Asked Questions About Flatpack Assembly

Yes. Most of my flatpack work is Kaboodle and IKEA, and I assemble other brands too. SURVE isn’t affiliated with Bunnings or IKEA: you buy the products, and I put them together and install them.

Yes. Please have everything delivered and check that all the boxes have arrived before the booked day. Missing boxes or parts are the most common cause of delays.

Yes. I assemble the cabinets, level them, fix them to the wall and to each other, and fit the doors, drawers, kickboards and handles. Plumbing and electrical connections must be done by a licensed plumber and electrician, and I’ll let you know when they’re needed.

Yes. I can frame and sheet bulkheads above kitchen cabinets, and small plasterboard walls and nib walls, so the cabinets fit the room. The plaster is set and sanded ready to paint, and I can paint it too.

Yes. Wardrobes, tall units and entertainment units are fixed to the wall so they can’t tip over. Where there’s no stud in the right place, I add blocking or use the right wall fixings.

It depends on how many cabinets there are and whether the room needs any changes to suit. Tell Sue what you’ve bought and where it’s going, and you’ll know the price before I start.
