Realistic Home Improvements
Realistic Home Improvements prides itself on providing quality products and exceptional customer service.
Realistic Home Improvements is a family run business supplying an exclusive range of high quality windows, doors, conservatories, and orangeries to homes across the Westcountry. Having worked for a national then a local company, Director Ryan Barrett found that there was a need for the type of products sold by national chains, but provided by a local firm...
How and when did Realistic Home Improvements begin?
In 2009. Having worked for a national then a local company, I realised there was a niche in the market to provide the type of quality products that the national companies supplied, but on a local basis. A big step forward for us was in 2012 when we became an Ultraframe Approved Installer – Ultraframe being the number 1 conservatory and solid roof provider in the UK, supplying 80% of the domestic market. When we became a member of the scheme we found out we were the only accredited company in Devon and Cornwall. We are also Which Trusted Traders.
Where are you based?
We are based out of the Tamar View Garden Centre in Saltash, where we have been since the beginning in 2009. At the base there are many examples of our work.
Do you specialise in any particular type of project?
As we are the Ultraframe Approved Installer we get enquiries for conservatory/orangery/single storey extensions, but we also install a lot of windows and doors in various shapes, sizes and materials. All of our fitters, builders and plasterers are employed to the company; they are all very methodical, they do a great job and our clients really like them.
How would you sum up your company?
We are a family run business. I may have started the business but my wife Jennifer works with me daily. My daughter Jasmine also came to work with us last year and she is currently learning her trade by helping people obtain window and door quotations. We appreciate our clients, our staff and are continually looking to improve, whether that be with products, fitting techniques or customer service requirements. With us, you will get honest expert advice. We are here to help and are open to anyone contacting us for a chat, at anytime.
