Magnet Kitchens draws very mixed reports. Several reviewers describe staff as helpful and not pushy, and a few praise kitchens they had fitted, while others report rude or unhelpful staff who showed little interest in serving them. Poor communication is a recurring complaint, with reviewers saying calls and emails went unanswered and that aftercare was disappointing. One reviewer reports a missed measuring appointment and a rude response when they called the branch, and another reports missed appointments and poor workmanship. Others describe a kitchen installation with standard units and overpriced worktops.
Spoke to the manager Leiyah about a project and asked for a quote for 8 kitchens. Never had a response ! Waited 6 weeks and chased 3 times in that time - actually went back to the store and gave them a 2nd chance….was told Leiyah was ‘ in a meeting’. That was a week ago..still no response / communication at all! Absolutely terrible service ….I have no idea how they are still in business.
Initially went to Wrens Kitchens who I had a very positive experience with, however I decided to book an appointment with Magnet Kitchens to get a comparison quote. An appointment was booked for today at 4:30pm for a surveryor to measure the kitchen, however, they did not turn up. I then called the branch to find out what had happened and was faced with a rude staff member who was extremely unhelpful. I will be going ahead with Wrens.
Very happy with service provided by Leiyah and her team. Always happy to help. Go above and beyond to get back to us. So far so good
I genuinely regret having to write this review because our experience with Magnet Kitchens in Caterham started off so positively. The initial service was great — the team were attentive, helpful, and made the whole process feel smooth and exciting. Unfortunately, there was issues with the installation and the aftercare has been extremely disappointing. Communication has been very poor, and I’ve found myself constantly chasing for updates or responses. Emails and calls often go unanswered, which has been both frustrating and stressful. This is still ongoing and we are still waiting for some communication. When you’re investing in something as significant as a kitchen, you expect a certain level of ongoing support if issues arise. Sadly, that hasn’t been the case here. What began as a really good experience has turned into a difficult and drawn-out situation due to the lack of follow-up and customer care. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, as the initial service shows that the team is capable — but the aftercare really needs improvement.
Can’t thank Leah (Manager) enough for recommending Zarko, who is one of thier kitchen fitters to help with installing a new washer dryer into our home we just moved into. Both Leah and Zarko are amazing, would recommend Magnet and Zarko for all of your kitchen needs.
Rude unhelpful staff avoid
Fitted a kitchen from Magnets the other day, all floor and wall unit are very standard, could have found d better for cheaper online. Client was up sold worktops which were well over priced.
Terrible service, we popped in on Friday morning (29/12), we know what we need as it’s just an appliance and cupboard refresh of the existing kitchen. In the shop ready and willing to spend £’000’s .The woman couldn’t get us out the door fast enough “we can’t really do anything unless you book a design appointment” was one quote. She didn’t offer to help us book an appointment, didn’t offer to walk us through (or suggest we walk ourselves through) the cupboards/appliances on display. It was incredibly awkward she was keen to get back to her zoom call and we felt completely unwelcome.
Extremely poor communication and after sales. Don't take responsibility to resolve issues to the customers satisfaction.
Visited the Caterham branch today. Wanted to buy a single oven, combi oven and induction hob, however the 2 members of staff were too busy talking to each other to ask if I needed any help. I had to go ask for information about the appliances, and they simply handed me a brochure and went back to their conversation. Obviously the Caterham branch didn’t want the business. So I went to another store (not magnet) and made a purchase where the staff actually spoke to me and helped!
Good staff and not pushy
Very impressed with the manager here, Tim, who took time to guide us through the process with honest and helpful advice. At no time did we feel pressured and we have come away confident that our new kitchen will be just as we hope
Great service! Love my new kitchen, staff all really friendly
I found their prices fair and reasonable and Tim the local manager was always prepared to go the extra mile
Dreadful service at Magnets Crawley today. Store was empty except one couple browsing, but sales assistant was 'too busy ' to give me a price on some kitchen units and would not have time today as fully booked. The store was empty! They obviously don't want people to buy a magnet kitchen and with customer service like that, I will certainly go elsewhere!
Okay as kitchen showrooms go but was surprised by the seemingly lower quality of the options than expected. I always thought Magnet were a premium brand but it did not appear so.
I defintely recommend Magnet Caterham, or more specifically, the manager Tim. He was truly superb. Great attention to detail and really wants to ensure that the customer gets the best. (We delt with the Caterham branch between December 2018 and May 2019).
Nothing but great service from Tim and the team at Magnet Caterham! We are over the moon with our kitchen that was expertly fitted by a kitchen fitter recommended by Magnet. Tim was efficient in making changes throughout the process. He offered advice but allowed us to make our own choices, avoiding the hard sell. We stayed within budget by opting for the Luna range which was on special offer at the time and buying discounted appliances directly from Magnet, all of which we're really pleased with. A few finishing touches , replacing the cool lighting for warm, a big new table in the middle, and it will be perfect! Thanks Magnet! We LOVE it :-)
