Hulumi, Abuja (FCT)5 furniture assemblers near you

There doesn't seem to be a specific diploma required for this type of activity, however, to begin with, it is recommended to have a level 5 training, meaning a vocational training certificate or vocational diploma in woodworking (such as carpentry, joinery, furniture manufacturing, etc.). Furthermore, once one has started or even before, there are continuing education modules available which can help to enhance skills, such as different assembly techniques, veneer preparation, advanced reading of plans, etc. Upon arrival in the company, specific training for the position may sometimes be necessary, in which case, of course, the company itself will take care of everything. Generally speaking, and depending on the person's skills and past experience in the DIY world, it takes a few months at most to become fully operational, which also means being autonomous. To be fully comprehensive on the subject, assembling furniture can sometimes be considered as a sort of gateway to other related activities. There is indeed potential for growth towards operating industrial equipment, installing kitchens, bathrooms, storage, or towards a supervisory role, such as team leader.

The furniture assembler is a professional whose activity consists of assembling furniture parts, seats, panels, veneers, or other types of fitting elements according to their assembly plan. It is important to make a distinction between the professional who works within a company, as part of industrial production (which is not our subject of the day), and the professional who offers their services to individuals, as part of a home furniture assembly activity, most of the time. In the course of their work, the furniture assembler must follow a framework, as well as a set of quality standards and safety rules. The professional must therefore read, study, and understand the plans, assembly instructions, and models provided in order to start the assembly in the correct order and not forget anything. The furniture assembler possesses appropriate tools and is capable of nailing, screwing, measuring, gluing, cutting, sawing, and assembling (depending on various precise assembly methods) the different parts of the furniture. They must also ensure the quality of the pieces used during the operation and guarantee the final result (of a custom-made piece of furniture, a well-crafted piece for a cooktop, regardless of its size, etc.).

Addressing directly to a company whose main activity is furniture assembly, not to say their profession, has numerous advantages, and this is precisely what we are going to discuss now. First and foremost, and it is indisputable, having your furniture assembled or disassembled by a professional is a very valuable time saver. When you make the decision to assemble or disassemble your furniture by yourself, it is almost certain that you will spend the whole day, or sometimes several days... Knowing that a professional can assemble or disassemble all the furniture in your living room in just 3 to 4 hours, and it will be done at least as neatly, you can understand the valuable time-saving that represents. And all that time saved, or rather not lost, you can use it to start preparing something else... Moreover, one might think that knowing how to hold a screwdriver, a saw, a screwdriver, a drill, a spirit level, a square or squares, and hitting with a hammer, is enough to assemble any furniture in no time. Well, let me tell you that's not true! Installing hinges properly, positioning skirting boards just right, ensuring a perfect fit for the cooker hood on top of the cupboards, placing the sink cupboard just right, all these require some learning... Drilling, screwing, rail fastening, approximate assembly instructions or half-erased user manual, cutting, tight fitting, sometimes painful handling, installing casters, marking with a pencil, these are all small tasks that require a minimum of expertise and rigor, so it's better to refer to the right person. In a completely different context, when it comes, for example, to assembling a bunk bed for the youngest one that was delivered during the day, you may not have much choice... If you have to finish assembly as soon as possible so that the youngest one can sleep in their new bed, then turning to a dedicated company is undoubtedly a very good idea. Incidentally, more than 20% of couples argue during the assembly of their furniture, and these figures are for France... Knowing this, isn't it clever to call in a professional to do the job and avoid any trouble?

To be honest, there isn't really a rule for this, even though, as we explained in the previous paragraph, certain circumstances, such as an emergency, may push you to call on this type of company or service. In general, it should be noted that the public who most often calls on this type of company is urban and either very young or rather elderly. If you have no skills in DIY (if you have two left hands), or if you are really afraid of messing up the furniture during assembly, then it will probably be relevant, including from an economic point of view, to contact a furniture assembler so that they can do the work for you. If you have planned to buy a piece of furniture (a bed, a dresser, a kitchen worktop, a wardrobe, or anything else...) on a certain day, to ensure that you don't end up with disappointment, it is probably best to contact the assembly company beforehand. It probably isn't necessary to do this 2 or 3 months in advance, but if you can do it a week or so beforehand, then you will increase your chances of success.

To start with, and as we have already mentioned, begin by checking with the company or companies where you plan to purchase the desired furniture. It is not uncommon for them to offer in-house furniture assembly services, in which case the question is settled at the source and there is no need to complicate your life, especially since most of the time, if the service is not free, it is at least very interesting. Once that is said, it does not matter where you live, whether it is in the city, region or department, finding a furniture assembler should not be too complicated, as they are located all over the country. In short, whether you live in Hulumi, or in a less densely populated rural area, you have every chance of finding what you are looking for just a few kilometres away from home, including in a medium-sized town. To start with, we advise you to ask around among your acquaintances, relatives, and also to ask your colleagues at work. It is often within this first circle that you get good leads and good addresses, so do not hesitate to utilise it! If word of mouth does not yield any results, we then invite you to turn to the Internet, by consulting a site like StarOfService, for example, which lists all professionals in a particular field, based on the location where you conduct your search. In just a few clicks, the site will allow you to obtain the contact details of all furniture assemblers in the region, and you can even contact the one of your choice straight away.

Before we begin, we would like to emphasize that your geographic location can have a relatively significant impact on the prices you will find. It's important to understand that the rates practiced in Paris or in major metropolitan areas (such as Bordeaux, Lyon, Marseille, etc.) are inevitably higher than in a medium-sized town or a remote village. Regarding the price range that we have managed to establish by averaging dozens of providers located all over France, it appears that the assembly of furniture at home varies between 25 and 50 Euros per hour. This will depend on the complexity of the assembly, of course, but also on the travel, the deadline, etc. In addition, to be entirely comprehensive on the subject, there are also handyman and assembly services performed at a flat rate, in which case, it is necessary to inquire on a case-by-case basis, as each offer is specific. Furthermore, as with any home service, any request for a quote for furniture assembly at home is free and mandatory in order to access the service, so don't hesitate to ask for it.

As we mentioned earlier, using word of mouth can be very relevant to find services such as furniture assembly. This is especially true when you want to find a quality assembly service that has a good reputation and has satisfied customers. Therefore, we advise you, once again, to start by asking your friends, family and acquaintances because they may know of a company that offers excellent services near you. If not, all is not lost. You still have the Internet. We recommend browsing through professional listing sites such as StarOfService, via any search engine. You'll find complete lists of furniture assembly services or companies that operate in your area, along with reviews and comments from customers who have used their services (which provide crucial information). Don't hesitate to browse a few addresses and read comments, as they are often good advice, and you can find everything by searching for multiple keywords, such as handyman services, interior design, furniture fabrication (built-in or not), dedicated self-employed professionals, kitchen installation, furniture assembly, carpentry, furniture fitting, small repairs, assembly and disassembly, kitchen kits, furniture disassembly, shower column assembly or disassembly, delivery and assembly, delivery and assembly service, kitchen assembly, small repairs, home assistance, help with assembly, furniture installation, etc. Once you've found the right company, make sure to check their availability, services, and rates, and clearly state the service you want and the preferred dates. To help you with assembly without going through the Swedish giant, you can also find many good addresses on the friendly website Jemepropose. We would like to urge you to be cautious of professionals who offer too good to be true deals with prices that defy all competition in the market. While such offers can sometimes be great opportunities, let's not fool ourselves, it's better to be wary of them.
