“I had the worst experience from this company. After several days of fitting my kitchen,I noticed there was a leak in the cabinet under the sink . I called them ,they changed the cabinet but they said the leak was from my washing machine pipes. I called someone to change it but they said there is no problem from my washing machine pipes. Then after changing them still there was a leak. I continued in this situation for 9 months they send people and can't recognize where is the leake from. In the end they decided to blame it on me of leaving too much water on the surface. In the end I contacted the head office which they were dishonest and refused to help. In the end I contacted the ombudsman and I found two different qualified people from different company which they from the first look they diagnosed the leake was from sink as it was fitted without seal and clips . In the end I won the case and they had to send someone to fix it for me . They are bunch of liers dishonest people.”

“Poor quality kitchen, appalling customer service both in store and over the phone from head office. They do not respond to emails and refuse to come out and look at the quality of the kitchen, I used their installer, just a complete waste of money. Avoid Magnet at all costs they are crooks!”

“Terrible quality of units and a low guarantee on the medium range. Terrible customer service and terrible aftercare even after paying for a premium fitting service. Their fitter even swapped my new integrated fridge for a cheaper one before we realised. Avoid!!!”

“I would strongly advise against using this company. The level of service has been appalling from the Hemel Hempstead branch. Not only did they include 4 different ranges in our order, but they measured the space incorrectly and forgot to include several cabinets which meant we would have ended up with a kitchen that did not fit the space and was a mish mash of cabinets. I decided to give them a chance to rectify this and reached out the the head of customer service who kept passing our case on to another branch. They quoted at a much higher price and refused to compensate us at all for all the mistakes they had. If you are on the fence DO NOT go with Magnet. Howdens provide a much better service and more importantly, get all the details right so you’re not left with half a kitchen.”

“The performance of your Canterbury branch is highly unprofessional. The fitters come and go as they jolly well please, no information when they will come next time. We were delivered the wrong sink, we advised the designer sbout it, she assured us that the Stone Company that manufactures the worktop will be advised about it. When the worktop arrived today (13th of April 2023) it appeared that the opening for the sink is of the wrong size. The works started on the 17th of March 2023 and they are still unfinished and we have no information when they will be completed. I most strongly regret that we have chosen Magnet as our kitchen supplier.”

“We spent over £12,000 having kitchen units supplied for our builder to fit. One 600 wide draw unit didn't fit and we wanted to return it and replace it with a 500 wide draw unit. We paid over £500 for the new draw unit and they would not take back the 600. Also some very expensive wood was supplied to support the sink and they would not take that back either. I would have given a reasonable review but for these matters. Terrible after sales attitude for a company to have towards customers. I do not recommend Magnet Kitchens.”

“Magnet Fulham has been extremely poor and and Magnet Head Office Complaints team equally poor, both to the point of the customer left feeling insulted by the complete lack of concern once the money has been paid. I would advise prospective purchasers to look elsewhere. Do not not trust Magnet to deliver a satisfactory job.”

“On November 21st 2022 I contacted the customer service department (They do not understand the word) as 6 of my chrome handles had the chrome peeling off, I received an email saying the issue would be resolved in 7 - 10 working days. I have made numerous calls to them and to the Ipswich store to get it sorted out, I finally thought it had been sorted when the Ipswich store emailed to say they would be delivered to the store the following week and they would bring them out. No handles so I contacted the store who tole me the handles had been delivered to the store at Colwyn Bay and they bounced the problem back to the service department. I have just rung them and they told me the issue has been resolved as I have had the new handles, so I have explained to them they sent them to the wrong location, they didn't know, and they are supposed to be ringing me back this afternoon, not hopeful. My advice - DO NOT SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY WITH THIS COMPANY, ONCE THEY HAVE YOUR MONEY THEY JUST DON'T CARE!! I have had to chase them constantly, no-one has ever phoned me back. Buy your kitchen elsewhere for peace of mind.”

“Ordered kitchen through Malcolm at Magnet, Plymouth. He was very helpful and have no complaints with his order. However, when I asked for recommendations for a fitter, he suggested Rob Mackey. I went with this guy and ended up with VERY poor worktop joins (big gap in one of them), glass and wall cabinets above hob not centralised, wall unit heights different on each side of the room and he was happy to leave after tiling with the gap still showing, one under cabinet plinth cut all unevenly. He also put in extra plug sockets but never got an electrician to check his work. He poorly fitted Magnet supplied flooring which is already starting to lift. This was done in 2021. I have contacted both Rob and Malcolm for their comments and advice....guess what neither had the courtesy to reply !!!! Do not use the above named fitter, unless you want to repay someone else to rectify his work.”

“Magnet Plymouth.......great until after they have had your money. As a single woman on her own, just beware. They recommended one of their fitters to me who took weeks to complete, the upper wall cabinets were not the same height above the worktop service on either side of the room. He was not bothered and left the difference showing after putting some tiles up. One of the worktop joins keeps cracking and was just told to use colorfill and try to repair myself. Fitter did all the electrics even though he wasn't qualified and failed to ensure my property was signed off by a qualified electrician. I have tried on various occasions to get Magnets representative to sort for me but all to no avail. Beware and spend your money somewhere else.”

“We called for a service for our boiler he had to dismantle the housing around the boiler it was a disaster , the floor in the hall had to be relaid because it was bubbling up they came to do it again it squeaks when you walk on it . When we called the manager he was totally un professional he was scruffy we though he had come to do some work , he then went on to defend the mistakes they had . Hadleigh branch”

“Once they have your money they not only don’t deliver what you’ve paid for they go out of their way to inconvenience you. They never call you back, asking for a complaint to be escalated does nothing - still nobody calls you, customer care hang up on you, branch staff tell you they’re too busy to look into issues. Worst company to deal with ever”
