The subject premises occupy an ideal and very convenient trading position among other independent operators in a thriving commercial quarter of the vibrant waterside town of Canvey Island, which lies with excellent access to major road links (A130 and the main A13 to Basildon and Southend-on-Sea) on the Thames Estuary in Essex.

We are delighted to present this marvellous opportunity to acquire a thriving commercial proposition of real quality and outstanding future possibilities, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.

This very well established and highly regarded limited company currently primarily conducts an extremely useful sales operation of an extensive range of premium quality, domestic and commercial volume plumbing and heating supplies by numerous market-leading manufacturers.

The store’s products range from a single tap or washer to full new bathrooms, shower rooms, wet rooms, boilers and central heating systems, with a virtually “one stop” range of associated fixings, sealants and associated accessories also available.

“Plumb Trade Ltd” supplies its products to a long-standing and still-expanding, repeat and referral customer base, ranging from private DIY enthusiasts to plumbing and heating trade professionals throughout a wide surrounding catchment area, with a significant volume of year-round ‘walk in’ trade generated by its excellent commercial location, and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth, not least with regard to the possible introduction of in-house fitting services, possible investment in additional staff and to operating considerably extended weekend hours in order to fully exploit year-round local private and trade “cash and carry” demand.

The business would also benefit by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing products, particularly with reference to the possible introduction of online advertising and ordering, in order to improve upon the already high levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form in 1997 by the current director, with the aid of just one experienced and motivated full-time assistant who would be an asset to any purchaser.

Alternatively, this versatile proposition would most certainly appeal to some similar-sized or larger allied enterprise looking to very significantly increase its existing share of the diverse professional plumbing and heating supplies and solutions services market by the acquisition of a dynamic and extremely well located additional independent operator with a priceless local name, a superb market-leading product range and an already impressive private and trade customer base, and we would strongly urge any genuine interested parties to pursue the earliest possible enquiries.

Fitted to high industry specifications throughout, these substantial and well maintained leasehold commercial premises provide excellent and highly functional internal business accommodation to the GROUND FLOOR, which briefly comprises an inviting, recessed and part-glazed public entrance with steel security roller shutter directly off “Shannon Way” into the main, bright, spacious and welcoming customer reception and “cash and carry” showroom area, which houses a full range of well maintained, fixed and freestanding, purpose-built display and storage racking, shelving and furniture for an extensive selection of market-leading plumbing and heating supplies, accessories and consumables in addition to a fully fitted trade sales counter with full complement of modern payment facilities.

The premises also incorporate a small, fully furnished and equipped private and general administration office with telephone and full complement of modern, industry-specific business management systems, with further ancillary accommodation consisting of all the usual washroom/WC facilities and staircase access to a good-sized MEZZANINE LEVEL employed for product storage purposes.

The premises also enjoy the benefit of double glazing and mains gas, electricity and water supplies, in addition to the added security benefit of a full alarm system.
