Company details
Written by the company
Herne Bay Domestics is an independent, family-run business which was established on the Herne Bay high street in 1984. Our reputation is built upon a combination of high-level customer service and care, and the ability to provide a large stock of domestic appliances at extremely competitive prices, as a result of close relationships with major manufacturers and being part of Euronics. We therefore believe that we have found the right balance between being able to care for the needs of every individual customer, whilst still often being able to offer the same products and prices as the biggest retailers in this field. Our team of delivery drivers and engineers are able to install every product we sell, as well as being able to demonstrate to customers how their new appliance works, and answering any queries on this matter. Meanwhile, our sales team are immediately on hand to fix any subsequent issues, as opposed to having to go through call centres and long queues. Our friendly team are always on hand and happy to help, either in-store or over the phone. Call: 01227 361536 for free help and advice on anything you may need. Phone lines open 09:00 – 17:00, Monday to Saturday.

This Company Are Amazing
This company are amazing. We have used them before for a washing machine and fridge freezer. Today was a dishwasher. From ordering right through to delivery and fitting has been easy and done so well. The company were very accommodating at changing the time for me last minute and the delivery guys were so friendly and made sure everything was OK before leaving. Taking away the very old dishwasher for us was a huge help. I highly recommend this company and so grateful we have them as a local business. Won't ever go anywhere else.

Great and helpful service
We wanted a cordless vacuum cleaner, the salesman showed us a section, telling the pros and cons of each, very, very helpful. Gave us time to think about it, no pressure whatsoever. The staff were more than helpful, great service and happy with our vacuum cleaner.

From my initial enquiry
From my initial enquiry, to ordering my washing machine and the installation itself the service was outstanding and impeccable. Nothing is too much trouble. I would recommend this store above any of the major retailers, it is a far superior service and at very reasonable prices.
Thank you guys, I will use you again.

Leo from Herne Bay domestic was great
Leo from Herne Bay domestic was great, he was on time, called before arrival, gave quotes for repair or replacement and gave me options on the integrated appliances available. Very efficient, didn't leave any mess and was very friendly. He also helped with advice on the types of machines and the energy efficiency ratings too. I would certainly give a 5 star rating!

Fantastic service. 5 stars all the way.
We rang up about a tumble dryer, we were given the address of the warehouse to pick it up and told that someone would be there until 12pm and we were late but the lovely guy waited for us and even unpacked it so we could see that it was undamaged. He then repacked it and put it in our car for us. Fantastic service and the cheapest price too.

I couldn't be happier with my purchase and the service I received
Having looked online for a chest freezer to go in the garage, the price was very competitive so I decided to try them rather than go with a chain/online company. Not only was delivery free, unlike the chains, it was for the following day!
I was given a 3 hour time slot on the morning of delivery and the freezer arrived in perfect condition and was expertly placed in the garage for me.
The delivery guy was pleasant and helpful and I couldn't be happier with my purchase and the service I received.

First class service
Aaron and Dave have today installed a new integrated fridge freezer, and recently an integrated washing machine too.
Neither installation was straightforward as the cabinet door for the washing machine already had too many hinge cutouts in situ, and the cabinet door for the fridge freezer needed replacing. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They worked professionally and skilfully to install both and have taken the cabinet door of the washing machine away to fill the holes and make good the door for us. This is over and above what we would have expected. The service we have received from the sale room through to installation has been first class. We would not hesitate to purchase from them again.
