Falcon Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this exceptionally well-presented supplier of quality Kitchens & Bathrooms. The business occupies a prime trading position on a busy shopping street in the sought-after town of Saltney, Chester 3/4 mile from the city centre. It has been under the proud ownership of our client since 1984. They have made considerable investment in establishing the area’s premier supplier of Kitchens & Bathrooms installed by talented craftsmen. It is now being placed on the market as the owner wishes to retire after running the business for over 38 years. During our client’s stewardship, the company has built up an excellent reputation for its superb workmanship and great service.
Upstairs Downstairs Chester is KBSA approved which means their work is of high quality. They offer a complete installation service that includes renovations along with plumbing, tiling and plastering. Because of their high standard of workmanship, approximately 50% of all orders come from returning customers that have already had work completed in the past or recommendations by family or friends.
The business has many valued exclusive supplier product agreements & solus trading territory- which span decades. These keep the displays in a unique & fashionable state - ongoing to benefit both trading parties. These respected trading partners give the business much gravitas & comfort to potential or new clients.
Our client runs the business with help from a dedicated team. It generates a steady turnover in the region of £450,000 per year with healthy gross profit margins. There is tremendous potential to increase the turnover by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy through its own informative, dedicated website and to further development of its social media presence
This rarely available opportunity is not to be missed, and early negotiations with Falcon Commercial to take on Chester's longest-established kitchen and bathroom specialist business come highly recommended
