We Fit IKEA Kitchens in Mountain Ash, and We Live Here
We are on Woodland Street by the Recreation Ground, so an IKEA kitchen in Mountain Ash is not a coverage area for us, it is round the corner. The town is mostly colliery terraces built up the valley sides in Pennant stone, and on the rows above Oxford Street the front door and the back door can be a full storey apart. That combination of solid walls, tight doorways and rear lanes decides how a flat pack kitchen gets into the house long before METOD gets anywhere near a wall.
Flat pack is genuinely an advantage on these streets. A boxed carcass will go through a narrow terrace hallway, up a step and round a turn that a built rigid unit simply will not, and the rear lane behind most rows is often the sensible way in. We work out the route at the survey, agree where the packs get built, then assemble in the order the run goes together so finished carcasses are not being shuffled around the house. Every one of them arrives flat, so that assembly is a real stage of the job rather than something that happens while the kettle boils.
Once they are built, METOD hangs off a suspension rail that has to be dead level and fixed into something solid. Pennant stone with no cavity holds a fixing very well, but only if the anchor is into sound stone rather than into old mortar, and the plugs supplied in the box are aimed at modern blockwork and plasterboard. We use resin anchors or heavy duty mechanical fixings chosen for what is actually behind the plaster. Penrhiwceiber and Perthcelyn add later council built stock where the walls are block and the rooms are more regular, and around Abercynon and Ynysboeth there is newer housing that behaves like any modern build. Knowing which of those you are standing in is the difference between a rail that carries the kitchen and one that does not.
The rest is detail work that these houses always need. Base units get levelled individually on their legs because the floors have moved, plinths get scribed to the floor, and carcasses get cut down or closed out with fillers where a doorway, a boxed pipe or an old breast eats into the run. We check the IKEA order against the room before delivery, since planner designs regularly miss fillers, panels and legs. We are fit only, so you buy from IKEA and keep control of the price, and we coordinate a Gas Safe registered engineer and a qualified electrician. The written quote after the survey is fixed, the workmanship is guaranteed and Precision Kitchen Fitting LTD carries public liability insurance.

Fitting IKEA kitchens
METOD is a suspension rail system, so the whole kitchen hangs off a rail that has to be fixed dead level into something solid. In the stone walled terraces common across the Cynon and Taff valleys that means proper fixings rather than the plasterboard plugs supplied in the box. There is also a genuine assembly stage with IKEA, since every carcass arrives flat and has to be built before it can be hung.
