Magnet Kitchen Fitting for Treforest Landlords and Homeowners

For a let, the useful part of the Magnet range is not the premium end. A student kitchen sees more use in three years than a family kitchen sees in ten, so the money goes on solid door fronts rather than thin foil wrapped ones, soft close hinges that survive being slammed, a hard wearing laminate worktop that can be replaced cheaply and an extractor that genuinely vents outside. High gloss looks sharp on handover day and shows every fingerprint and every knock after that, and painted shaker chips on an edge, so both are better suited to an owner occupied house than to a property changing hands every summer. Magnet cover all of this well below the top ranges, which is the point.

The houses themselves are late Victorian valley terrace built up a hillside, so the kitchen is narrow, a chimney breast usually eats into the best wall and the floor falls away towards the rear. The run gets levelled off a datum rather than the floor, the plinths get scribed down and the ends get closed out with scribed fillers, and the alcoves either side of the breast usually earn their keep as a tall unit or an appliance housing. The thing worth budgeting for is what is behind the old kitchen. A lot of these back kitchens are single skin extensions with no insulation, and once the old units come off you can finally see the damp, and hanging new Magnet carcasses over it only buys a couple of years.

Timing is the other half of the job here. Student tenancies around the campus mostly turn over across the summer, so the practical window is between the old tenants leaving and the new ones arriving, and that window fills up across the whole area. A like for like Magnet swap in a small terrace kitchen, with no replastering and no services moved, can be done in around three to five working days, and it goes past a week as soon as the electrics need updating or the sink moves. Give us the dates early, make sure the Magnet delivery lands inside the window, and send us the plan first so we can check the run lengths against the room. We cover Treforest, Glyntaff, Rhydyfelin, Hawthorn, Upper Boat and Tonteg.

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.
