Bought a Magnet Kitchen in Barry? We Handle the Fitting

The one Barry specific thing worth saying before you choose a Magnet range is that the sea air near the Island, the Knap and the waterfront is harder on metal than the air inland. Hinges, drawer runners and handle finishes corrode faster in a humid, salt laden kitchen, so on a coastal property the money is better spent on decent hinges, a stainless or properly coated handle and an extractor that genuinely vents outside than on upgrading the door front. Magnet cover everything from budget ranges up to premium painted and in frame, so there is plenty of room to move the spend to where it will actually last.

In the dock era terraces the kitchen is usually a small back room or a rear outshut, so the run is short and every millimetre counts. Nothing in those houses is square and the floors move, which is why base units get levelled on their legs off a datum, plinths get scribed down to follow the floor and end panels get scribed into the wall rather than butted at it. That matters most on a Magnet high gloss run, where the reflection down the doors makes any tapering gap obvious, and it is why the same kitchen takes longer here than it would in a new build. Painted doors stay boxed until the carcasses and worktop are in and go on at the end.

On the Colcot and Gibbonsdown estates the rooms are more regular but the back door or the boiler is usually sat exactly where you wanted a run of worktop, and there is more room to improve that than people expect, from a shallow larder in the dead corner through to moving a door. On the waterfront apartments the shell is square and modern and the fit itself is straightforward, so the work is in the access, the communal entrance, the lift and the delivery window set by the building management. Whichever you are in, we check the Magnet plan against the room, coordinate a Gas Safe registered engineer and a qualified electrician, and give you a fixed written price. Most Barry jobs run five to ten working days.

Fitting Magnet kitchens

Magnet cover a wide spread from budget ranges up to premium painted and in-frame kitchens, so the fitting standard has to match what you have paid for. Gloss doors show every misalignment and every fingerprint, and painted shaker doors chip if they are handled carelessly, so protection and careful setting out matter throughout the job.
