Helen and Phil Lord, co-founders of Widnes-based company Rehome, appeared on Thursday, March 5, bringing their marketplace for pre-loved and ex-display kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and furniture to a national audience.
Rehome helps homeowners buy quality interiors for less, while also making it easier for sellers to give existing interiors a second life rather than sending them to waste.
It is designed to make it straightforward for people to sell what they are replacing, and for others to find second-hand and ex-display interiors that still have plenty of life left in them.
The business offers an alternative to waste by giving used interiors a second life, supporting both affordability and sustainability in home renovation.
Helen Lord said: “Appearing on Dragons’ Den is a huge moment for us as a Widnes business.
“We went on the programme to bring the resale kitchen conversation to a national audience.”
She said that too many kitchens in good condition are simply discarded during renovations, even though they still hold significant value.
Ms Lord said: “We want more homeowners to see resale as a practical option, both to help budgets go further and to keep quality interiors in use for longer.”
Rehome, a Certified B Corporation and a recipient of a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development, has been working to shift how people approach home renovation.
The company argues that replacing a kitchen doesn’t have to mean discarding the old one, especially if it’s still in good condition.
Instead, Rehome offers a straightforward way for people to sell or buy used interiors, making sustainability part of the renovation process.
The company’s message extends beyond kitchens, as more homeowners seek cost-effective and environmentally conscious ways to update bathrooms, bedrooms, and other interior spaces.
Rehome is aiming to encourage more people to consider resale as part of home improvement projects, making it both affordable and sustainable.
