Get IKEA SKYTTA installed by a trusted Tasker

The IKEA SKYTTA sliding door system is a versatile choice for UK homes. Its modular design helps you create storage tailored to your space, making it a practical addition to any house or flat. This customisation, however, can make assembly complex. With various components and detailed instructions, putting your SKYTTA system together requires patience and precision.

Common IKEA SKYTTA components include:

  • Sliding doors

  • Floor and ceiling rails

  • Interior organisers like shelves or clothes rails

  • Integrated lighting 

Why book a Tasker for IKEA SKYTTA installation?

Installing the SKYTTA system involves more than just clicking pieces together; it requires securing floor and ceiling rails and often needs light carpentry work to ensure a level fit. That’s where Taskers come in.

Unlike freestanding wardrobes, SKYTTA sliding doors rely on perfectly aligned walls and floors to ensure the doors glide smoothly. Because few homes have perfectly level floors or ceilings, this task often falls under light carpentry. A Tasker can help with the technical aspects of the install, such as:

  • Cutting rails to size: SKYTTA rails often need to be trimmed with a hacksaw to fit your specific opening width.

  • Levelling and shimming: If your ceiling or floor is uneven, a Tasker can use spacers or shims to ensure the doors glide smoothly and don't slide open on their own.

  • Working with skirting boards: To get a flush finish against the wall, you may need to notch the skirting boards or install a stop-post, which requires precise woodcraft.

  • Secure installation: Choosing the right fixings for your specific ceiling type, whether it’s plasterboard or solid masonry, is essential for a safe and lasting installation.

The time it takes to install an IKEA SKYTTA wardrobe can vary depending on its size, the number of modules, and the complexity of the interior organisers. Smaller SKYTTA systems might take a few hours, while larger, more intricate configurations with PAX storage, for example, could take half a day or more.

While it is possible, SKYTTA bottom rails are more stable when mounted on a hard surface.

The SKYTTA system is designed with adjustable feet that can help level the unit on uneven surfaces like carpet. A Tasker might recommend placing a thin, rigid support underneath the wardrobe frame, especially for thick pile carpets, to ensure stability and smooth operation of the doors.
