Ha! lacklustre design service, like pulling teeth, not one original idea was forthcoming from Stephen. Regretfully we continued to place the order - paid £500 for delivery to a first floor new build after hiring a building approved temporary ladder (on Stephen's instruction) at a cost of £400 and the delivery men refused to walk up it. we paid builders to carry it upstairs and the fitter did the most appalling job of removing the support work inside the carcass by smashing them out with a mallet. He was satisfied with the splintered cabinets and we were not. After much argument they were replaced by another passive-aggressive fitter called Lemi who also did a nasty job. The business owner Mark defiantly refused any face-to-face meeting with us, taunting us to complain as he didn't care, nothing to do with him despite having £23,00 of our money. avoid at all costs. dealing with Schmidt has been a deeply unpleasant experience. Schmidt Kitchens take your money and give a substandard kitchen in return whilst misleading the purchaser by claiming to be a professional outfit.

Unfortunately due to building delays we've started this process with Jai and team nearly 18months ago. However they have been nothing but patient and supportive and eased any worries we had.

Had a floor repaitred by Magicman and it has now failed…read more Contacted Magicman and they want to charge again bearing in mind it had only been 6 months since the initial repair. No customer service whats so ever and it took them a month to get back to us with their decision. Poor company to deal with and workmanship clearly not adequate. I would avoid at all costs and use another company.

My builder got Magicman in less than a year ago to repair various areas that had been damaged…read more Some repairs were ok, and done quickly, but arguably the most important one - the shower tray in the master bathroom - has developed into a mess. Magicman is now saying that due to the lapse of time, it's nothing to do with their repair, it's a chemical reaction to cleaning products and they are washing their hands of it! I was left no aftercare instructions, and in any case, a repair to a shower tray should surely be fit for purpose, ie able to withstand normal (in this case, very light) use and occasional cleaning products? And last for a great deal longer than under a year. It seems they don't even guarantee their work for 12 months. Whilst the repair looked ok at the time, I now have two large, yellowing, rough patches, about 15cm (6") round, where Magicman struggled to effect repairs to marks that were no more than 2.5cm (1"). The technician Magicman sent was very young and had only been with the company a short time. I believe he has now left the company. He took forever to do these particular repairs, having whizzed around the others - he was here working on it for ages, kept trying different things, and the area he was working on kept expanding with his efforts, which was a bit surprising, but at the time it seemed ok when he'd finished. Little did I know how it would degrade - with even light use. I expect Magicman will reply to this post defensively, as has been the tone of their emails to me, but there really is absolutely no defence. A shower tray repair should be able to cope with normal cleaning products and last just as long as the tray itself. Repairs I've had done in previous years by other, similar companies, remained perfect over time. Things do go wrong, that's just life, but customer service is all about the manner in which problems get put right. Magicman (so far) scores a bit fat zero for that. Reading some of the reviews online elsewhere, it's probably not surprising. I'll update this review accordingly if Magicman does the right thing and gets the repair done properly. Otherwise I'll also be onto Trading Standards, as outfits like Magicman should be responsible enough to effect repairs that are robust, and either put them right, or be held to account, when they go wrong. In the meantime, I would strongly advise others to avoid using Magicman, or at least approach with caution.
