Magnet Kitchen Installation Across the Merthyr Tydfil Borough

Merthyr sits at the head of the Taff valley and the housing still follows the shape the Cyfarthfa and Dowlais ironworks left behind. A Magnet kitchen in a Dowlais or Penydarren terrace goes onto solid Pennant sandstone with no cavity, which needs resin anchors or long frame fixings rather than the plasterboard plugs that come in the box, while the same kitchen on the Gurnos goes onto blockwork and behaves quite differently. We are about 20 minutes away, up the A4059 or the A470.

Magnet run everything from budget door ranges to premium painted and in frame kitchens, and the heavier the kitchen the more the fixings matter. A full run of loaded wall cabinets or a pair of tall larders puts real weight into the wall, and on Pennant sandstone with old lime mortar behind it we set resin anchors or long frame fixings into sound stone rather than into a joint, drilling on hammer only where the stone will take it so we are not blowing the face out. In frame ranges then add their own demand, because every gap around every door is on show, so the carcasses have to be levelled and squared before a single door is hung.

Plenty of Merthyr kitchens sit in a narrow rear outshot off the back of the house, which means one workable run of units, a tall larder if the ceiling allows, and a plan built around the back door swing rather than around a showroom drawing. In a room like that a Magnet high gloss run is a bold choice and a demanding one, because gloss reflects light along the whole length and picks up any door sitting proud or any dip in the floor. Whatever the finish, the run gets levelled off a datum and closed out into the wall with scribed fillers and end panels. If you want a dishwasher and a washing machine as well, something usually has to give, and we would rather tell you which at the survey than on the day.

The post-war estates are a different job again. The Gurnos and the newer developments around Trefechan give you squarer rooms and flatter floors, so the units go in with less scribing, but the newer stock is dot and dab plasterboard where every wall fixing has to reach the block behind. We cover the whole borough, including CF46 in the Taff Bargoed valley at Treharris, Trelewis, Quakers Yard and Bedlinog. Laminate worktops we cut, joint and fit as part of the installation, while stone and quartz ordered through Magnet are templated once the base units are level and fitted later by the stone supplier. The electrician, Gas Safe engineer and plasterer are coordinated by us and set out in the written quote.

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.
