I’ve used Wades many times over the years. There’s a great choice of products, with knowledgeable staff. The staff are always friendly and professional. I would have no hesitation in recommending Wades to anyone.

Great old fashioned family run store with a surprisingly large range of products from tvs to toys to trowels (and many other garden implements). Always good prices on electrical goods and free delivery locally (often the same day if you're desperate). If there's anything you need for the home or garden #trywadesfirstmate.

Wades has the most varied stock of any independent shop I know. If there is something they don’t have they will try their best to get it for you. When the Town was in lockdown they delivered free to your door even if you only wanted a bag of screws. Over the years I have made many purchases from Wades, including washing machine, TV, fridge, Dyson vacuum cleaner and various hardware items.
Their service and attention to the smallest detail is second to none. Well done Wades Keep up the good work.

Love them! Although I had used them occasionally before lockdown, they came into their own during and after it. They have such a diverse range of goods and have always had what I wanted at a fair price. Also, they provide great customer service. They are now my DIY bits and bobs of choice.

Excellent service, at the beginning of lock down I purchased a washing machine. It was delivered to my back door within two hours, due to the pandemic restriction Wades were unable to enter the house therefore my husband fitted the machine. From purchase to completing first wash about three hours.

Meryl Cheney (via Trustpilot)
Wades is the best kind of local shop, giving superb advice, after service and matched, sometimes bettered prices. Back to the high street for us, Amazon is a secondary choice from here on. Luke is a real gent, and the whole team are brilliant. #trywadesfirstmate
