When you start researching your home improvements, there is a huge amount of information to digest. Our aim as a company is transparency, and to deliver honest advice. If you have queries over the typical cost of home improvements, we can advise you over the phone, with a ballpark guide price on most projects. However, it can be difficult to give a rough estimate if you are looking for a bespoke installation.
We offer clients a completely free, no-obligation consultation, which will usually take place at your home. This consultation is thorough and will include a wide range of information so you can make an informed decision. We will show you product samples and brochures, along with talking you through next steps. This is particularly important for more complex projects. We generally need 1-2 hours for a consultation, so once you’ve found a convenient date and time, give us a call to arrange an appointment.
If you have any further questions or require any more information, do not hesitate to get in touch on the contact details provided. We are proud to be registered and fully CT verified here on the Cornish Traders platform along with other local, reliable and hard working Cornwall based trades and businesses. Please take a minute to have a look through our image gallery at some of the recent work completed and some of our 5 star reviews to match. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Nicky Hornsby
So very pleased with our new extension. Ryan really listened to what we wanted and offered solutions to the problems we had with a previous build. The team worked hard and the build looks great. Would definitely recommend.

If you are looking for quality home improvements with superb service then look no further, from day one when Ryan visited to measure up and give us a quote right the way through to the final installation of the new windows and roof by the fitting team we could not have asked for more.
Even with the issues of COVID 19 once the lockdowns where relaxed the team worked around us all working from home, keeping everything tidy and clean – the photos do not do it justice we would be more than happy to recommend Realistic to anyone, you will not be disappointed !

Realistic replaced our existing porch retaining the roof and footprint. We were very pleased with the service we received, the fitters were clean and tidy and turned up on time. We needed some extra trim afterwards and this was no problem. We would recommend them.

Many we take the opportunity to thank Realistic for an amazing professional service replacing our damaged conservatory roof and also all the glass in our SMART system bifold doors as well as repairing the alignment on both sets of bifolds. Ryan believed he could repair the structure and our faith in him was evident when Realistic teams arrived on time and straight to task. They were highly professional, courteous, conscientious and caring. It was obvious they take pride in their work when repairing our structure making it better than previously installed. The two teams from Realistic were friendly, respectful and wanted to do a first class job. May we highlight Chris and Matthew were outstanding and could not do enough to ensure the replacement went smoothly. We were also taken back by their work ethic and ensured everything was clean and tidy. It is not often you get a first class service but we feel we have from Realistic. We cannot recommend Realistic enough!

We selected Realistic because they paid full attention to the design of a roof to replace our conservatory with a span of over 4 metres. Other companies offered to build a roof which was not validated by the material supplier. Construction went very well, and the tradesmen were skilled and careful in the house and garden. The plastering was finished very well. Two minor glitches were fixed with care and without hassle.

Absolutely delighted with our orangery style conservatory which, after market research and a quote from a national brand, we found to be very competitively priced; the quality and style of the finished product has added a real wow factor to our property. Family and friends all agree the outcome is stunning. Ryan visited on several occasions and listened to our detailed requirements before offering several options all with a detailed pricing breakdown. We were constrained (our choice) by the footprint of our original ‘white gold’ product which included an end wall (see photo). After several tweaks, non of which was too much trouble, we were able to agree on our bespoke design which focussed on maximum light and included the largest sliding door and roof glass combination realistic had fitted to date. It even offered a matching frame to replace the original kitchen window. The old conservatory was down within hours and the new frame in place and glass fitted within a week. The fitting team were very professional and cheerful throughout. The build did hit a problem due in most part to supply shortages from the manufacturer as a result of COVID but once spotted the in house technical lead negotiated a solution and personally oversaw the final fit. Communications with realistic were good throughout and in truth the slight delay due to supply issues were not an issue under the circumstances.
In summary we chose realistic as they were a local company who offered a personable service and a unique and bespoke quality product. The build team were all in house and evidently proud of their workmanship. Ryan’s experience and detailed knowledge gave genuine confidence that were getting what we wanted and not just an off the shelf design. A highly recommended and professional outfit.
