- First-time UK renters furnishing a flat
- Helpers and Muslim handymen
How long IKEA jobs really take
MALM 4-drawer chest: ~45 minutes for two. PAX wardrobe (single bay, with doors): 2–3 hours for two. BESTÅ TV unit: 1 hour. Full bedroom set (bed + 2 chests + wardrobe): half a day.
Tools worth having ready
Cordless drill with screwdriver bits. Hammer with rubber face. Allen keys (IKEA includes them but a long-handle set is faster). Pencil. Spirit level for wall-mounted items. Helpers usually bring their own; flag if the wardrobe needs wall anchoring (PAX especially).

Furniture & Assembly Services
Flat-pack assembly is the volunteer-friendly end of household help — a couple of hours, some Allen keys, and a wardrobe gets built. This page connects you with helpers who can do that, plus paid Muslim handymen for bigger jobs.
Home Repair & Handyman
Home Repair & Handyman is the home of small-job requests — a sticking door, a wonky shelf, a broken lock, a dripping tap. This page connects you with Muslim handymen and community helpers who handle these jobs at a fair price or, for hardship cases, on Sadaqah.
Moving & Delivery Services
Moving day is one of the most stressful days a household goes through. This page connects you with Muslim man-and-van operators, community helpers with a free Saturday, and donors who can cover a one-off move for a hardship case.
Painting & Decorating
Painting and decorating is one of the most common practical asks on the platform — before Ramadan or Eid, after a tenancy change, or for a family who can’t do it themselves. This page connects you with community helpers and Muslim decorators.
