Magnet Kitchens Fitted in Pontypridd, Fifteen Minutes From Our Yard

Magnet units are only as secure as what they are fixed into. On the Graig and in Hopkinstown that is 400mm of Pennant stone behind old lime plaster, which holds a resin anchor or a long frame fixing beautifully and simply ignores the plugs that come in the box. Coring that wall for extractor ducting is a proper job with the right kit and it makes dust, so we sheet up and agree the vent position before we start. Where the run has to meet a wall that leans by 20mm over its height, the gap is closed with a scribed filler or end panel rather than left as a shadow line, which is the difference between a fitted kitchen and units pushed against a wall.

The finish you choose changes how much of that work shows. A Magnet high gloss run reflects light along its whole length, so a base unit sat 3mm low over a sunken floorboard or a door hung a fraction proud is immediately obvious, and every unit gets levelled off its legs against a datum rather than the floor. Painted shaker is easier on the eye but harder to handle, so the doors stay boxed until the carcasses and worktop are in. Before any of that we look at what is behind the old units, because plenty of Pontypridd kitchens sit in a single skin rear outshut that runs cold and damp, and boxing a damp wall behind new Magnet carcasses only hides the problem until the chipboard swells.

On the newer estates at Church Village, Tonteg, Beddau and Llantwit Fardre the problem reverses. The rooms are level and square, which makes the fit quicker, but the plasterboard is dot and dabbed off the blockwork and a fixing into board alone will pull a loaded Magnet wall cabinet off the wall. Fixings go through to the block. Wherever you are in the CF37 and CF38 area we check the Magnet drawing against the real room before the order goes in, plan the delivery and the carry in route including a back lane where one is usable, and give you a fixed written price. Most 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.
