Disassembly.
Done proper.

Disassembly costs scale with the piece and how it comes apart. A flatpack desk, bedside table, or single bookshelf sits at the lower end. Beds, wardrobes, drawers, and dining tables are mid-band. Multi-frame wardrobes (PAX runs, sliding-door systems), bunk beds, and large multi-piece items sit at the top. Disassembly and reassembly as one job (taken apart here, rebuilt at the new address) is quoted as a bundle and works out better than booking the two separately. Send a product link or the brand and model and we'll send a fixed price that holds.

Most flatpack and assembled furniture, from any retailer. Beds and bed frames, bunk beds, wardrobes (including PAX and sliding-door systems), desks and office furniture, drawers and tallboys, bookshelves and shelving units, dining tables, and TV and media units. Larger outdoor items like trampolines and sheds come apart too, though we scope those as their own jobs. If you're not sure whether something comes apart cleanly, send a product link and we'll tell you honestly before you book.

Yes, and it's the most common reason people book disassembly. We take the piece apart at your current address, label and bag every fitting, protect the panels for transit, then rebuild at the new address from the same hardware and re-anchor tall pieces to the new wall. Booking both ends as one job is the cleanest way to move flatpack furniture, because the same crew handles both sides and nothing goes missing in between. If a separate mover or removalist is handling the transit, disassembly-only is fine too.

Usually, but not always, and we'll be honest with you up front. Solid-frame and timber furniture comes apart and rebuilds reliably. Particleboard and MDF flatpack is more fragile: cam-lock fittings and pressed-in dowels don't always hold a second time, and pinned backing panels can tear. We take everything apart in the right order to give it the best chance, but some pieces are built to be assembled once. If we think a piece won't survive a rebuild, we'll tell you before we start so you can decide whether it's worth moving or better replaced.

Yes. IKEA furniture comes apart like any other flatpack, and moves are the usual reason to take it apart. PAX wardrobes, MALM drawers and beds, BILLY and KALLAX shelving, and the rest of the range all disassemble. IKEA's particleboard pieces are in the more-fragile category, so we'll flag anything unlikely to survive a rebuild, while solid-timber ranges like HEMNES come apart and go back together reliably.

Yes. Beds are usually one of the first things to come apart in a move, because they rarely fit through a doorway or down a stairwell assembled. We take apart bed frames, slatted bases, gas-lift and storage beds, and bunk beds. Bunk beds are a two-builder job because of the height and weight, and we keep the safety-critical fittings (the rail and ladder hardware) bagged and labelled so the bed goes back together exactly as designed.

Yes. Floating shelves, wall-fixed wardrobes, mounted headboards, anti-tip brackets, and other wall-mounted pieces are taken down as part of the job. We remove the fixings and leave the wall tidy rather than torn up. We can't promise no marks at all (fixings leave holes, and that's unavoidable), but we take them out cleanly so the wall is ready for filler and paint if you want to patch it later.

Sometimes, and it's quoted separately. Our core job is taking the piece apart cleanly, broken down to flat panels so it's easy to dispose of (a trailer, a skip, or an inorganic collection take it from there). If you'd rather not deal with the disposal yourself, ask when you book: we can arrange to take it away on some jobs, depending on the item and where you are, and we'll tell you the cost up front. We're not a dedicated rubbish-removal service, so for large or multiple items a specialist hauler may be the better call.

Yes, and they have their own pages because they're bigger jobs. Trampolines come apart for moves and disposal (the frame, net, and springs break down to a flat stack), and kitset sheds can be dismantled too, though shed disassembly depends on how it was built and whether it's still sound. For either, see our trampoline and shed pages, or just ask and we'll scope it.

Less time than assembly, as a rule. A flatpack desk or bookshelf is 20 to 40 minutes. A bed or wardrobe is 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. A multi-frame PAX run or a bunk bed is 1.5 to 2.5 hours. If we're reassembling at the other end, the rebuild takes about as long as a fresh assembly would. We give you a time estimate with the fixed quote.

All of Auckland. North Shore, Central, East, West, South, Manukau, Howick, Pakuranga, Albany, the Hibiscus Coast, and the rural fringes. Out-of-city jobs are quoted with a small travel allowance. If you're outside our usual range, ask anyway.

Sometimes, depending on the piece and our schedule that week. Single items are easier to slot in at short notice. Moves involving several pieces, or disassembly-and-reassembly across two addresses, usually need a few days' lead time so we can plan both ends. If your move is time-sensitive, tell us when you request a quote and we'll tell you what's possible.
