CoGoGo is delighted to present to the market one of Lancashire’s most established and highly regarded new fire and fire surround businesses.

Interdec Fireplaces was established by our client over 35 years ago who is now looking to sell his successful business to allow him to now retire.

Interdec Fireplaces provide beautiful fireplaces in both traditional and contemporary designs.

The showroom located in the centre of Preston offers gas, electric and solid fuel models with a large selection of fires, fire surrounds and hearths.

Fires available include –

• Gas fires
• Gas stoves
• Hole in the wall gas fires
• Solid fuel stoves
• Electric fires
• Electric stoves

Fireplaces available include –

• Cast iron fireplaces
• Custom built marble
• Custom built stone
• Custom built timber fireplaces

Each fire/fire surround can be purchased as supply only or fully fitted by a team of fully trained install professionals.

Key brands include –

• Cast Tec
• Burley
• Newman
• Flamerite
• Nu-Flame
• Verine
• Dimplex
• Valor
• Elgin & Hall

Our client currently runs the business by himself with the help of a loyal team of self-employed installers.

Majority of the business comes from both word of mouth and recommendations.

We believe any new owner would have the opportunity to grow the business by introducing any of the following –

• New updated website
• Social media presence
• Local advertising campaign
• Increasing current staff team – including introducing inhouse installers
• Increasing current range – Media walls for example
• Extending current opening hours

The business is surrounded by both traditional and new housing developments which due to the current housing boom are looking to improve their properties.

Key selling points –

• Very well established
• Opportunity to expand
• Low rental terms
• Zero business rates
• Large showroom stock (approx £30,000)
• Excellent relationships with suppliers

Very rarely do successful independent businesses of this type or location come on to the open market and we therefore highly recommend early enquiry to avoid any disappointment.
