5

Val (via Trustpilot)

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.
