Magnet Trade Kitchens? Retail?

Hi All,

Im planning on getting a new fitted kitchen in a house that i am planning to buy. we have been shopping around for approximate prices and got quoted between 5-7k at Wren (before installation/appliances).

Anyway we forgot about a friends husband being a joiner/kitchen fitter and he trades with Magnet. They where gob smacked at the prices so to speak and said he would be able to get us most magnet kitchens and he would do that price pretty much at what he buys it for. and also include installation along with the plumbing and electrics which we will have to pay for but wont be near the 2.5k cost at retail.

Just wondering is there any difference in quality or are they mostly the same units but limited variety of doors and worktop to trade?

Trade is exactly the same.

I think Magnet trade is still more expensive than its counterparts, but I'd shop anywhere other than Wren.

Good to know i just just look on the website then and not a special list of trade things. Thanks.

The house we are planning on getting will be being bought from friends, private sale and they said they will get the kitchen done however we want and the base kitchen price added onto the house value so we aren't limited money wise but still dont want to be adding an extra 10K onto the mortgage.

We are in the process of buying a new kitchen via Magnet Trade, i just went in an opened my own account up, surveyor came round and measured up, popped back in a week later to see the design, the quote was 2k cheaper than Howdens and Homebase for similar spec kitchen, Howdens were very cheap when we got a kitchen at the last house but seem to have got expensive lately, but could be the joiners adding on there markup no doubt !

I also had Dream Doors round, £5,300 just to change the doors and worktop !
