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.

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.

Excellent service from Hern Bay…
We found the service that Hern Bay Domestics gave us was second to none. We were in a jam and needed a hob quickly as ours had let us down. They had one in stock so we said we would purchase it and pick it up. We were informed that it was in thier warehouse and being a Saturday it would be fine to pick it up on Monday. We explained our situation and to my disbelief they said they would arrange for someone to be there at a time that suited us all. When we arrived we were treated exceptionally well, and felt like nothing was too much. Fantastic company to deal with. You will not find better.

Excellent Customer Service
Excellent Customer Service! They matched an on-line price including free delivery and a charge for removal & unpacking. They loaned me a chest freezer, FOC, while waiting for the new freezer as the old one had ‘died’! They collected the chest freezer when I had refilled the new, all at no extra cost. Very helpful and friendly staff from every department and would highly recommend Herne Bay Domestics. I always prefer to support local businesses, delivery may take a little longer but if there’s a problem the local business is immediately on hand.

Hello Mrs Phillpott, thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you had an excellent experience with our team at HBD and appreciated our efforts to match the online price. It’s great to know that the loan of the chest freezer while you waited for your new appliance made a difference. Our team is dedicated to providing helpful and friendly service, and we truly value your support of our local business. Thank you for choosing Herne Bay Domestics!
Very good service
I ordered the Freezer on Monday and it was delivered FREE on Thursday. I was messaged on Wednesday to tell me the time it was going to come, 2 guys turned up in the time frame specified, very helpful and friendly took the old one away for £20.00.
The price matched all the other websites, and the removal was the only extra to pay unlike other company's who had other add ons which took the price up quite a bit.
I will definitely use again and tell other people.

Excellant Sevice
Excellant service from start to delivery. Mat was extremly helpful, he advised me that the fridge / freezer I was making enquiries about was uneconomical to repair as it was 10years old. He took the bother to find me an equivalent model, ordered and delivery was arranged for the following day. What service!! with a smile no doubt. I will definitly use Herne Bay Domestics again. Brilliant!!!

Outstanding service!
I was sent a confirmatory text in advance of the appointment, and Joe called me on the day to give an ETA.
He was knowledgeable, courteous and incredibly quick at diagnosing and fixing the fault on our oven.
He then ran the oven for 20 minutes and waited to check that all was running smoothly.
I would certainly use Herne Bay Domestics again - for repairs AND purchases

Kind and efficient, wonderful firm!
I needed to buy an urgent replacement for a rented machine, as the rental company were very unhelpful.
I contacted Herne Bay Domestics, and they were brilliant.
Nick sorted the purchase, arranged for removal of abandoned rental, gave me updates on delivery arrangements, all so kind and helpful.
The new machine arrived bang on time, old one gone, all left beautifully tidy. They deserve ten stars, I can’t recommend them highly enough.
