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.

Very helpful, great service and competitive prices.

I bought an oven and needed it pretty quickly. So whilst they offer free delivery, I chose to collect and they arranged this there and then for the same day

New induction hob is the business.

My Bosch ceramic hob had broken down for the second time in two years. As it was out of warranty, I contacted Herne Bay Domestics who sent an engineer out for a nominal call-out fee but, unfortunately, it required a new board. In view of this we decided to change to an induction hob and ordered a Míele hob. A week later, my new hob arrived and fitted. Engineers did a wonderful job in installing it and tidied up after them and took time to explain the hob to me.
Would thoroughly recommend HBD.

Efficient and professional throughout

Our 7 year old washing machine stopped working. We called HBD who diagnosed it as in terminal decline.
We ordered a new one through the engineer.
Two very obliging lads turned up today, to deliver and fit the new one quickly and efficiently and to remove the old one.
Very easy process at all stages.

Excellent service and a great engineer

When my washing machine broke down I booked an engineer online for just two days later. I received a text message the day before, confirming a 3-hour window, and the engineer phoned me 5 minutes before arriving. He quickly established that the machine was beyond economic repair (not a surprise to me, given its age and relative lack of sophistication), and took the time to explain why this was the case. We used his tablet to identify a replacement; he asked me for all my requirements and chose a machine that met them and which also had £100 off! I was able to pay then and there, and book a delivery and installation appointment. This was an all-round positive experience, and I would not hesitate to recommend Herne Bay Domestics to others.
