Meet ‘Winston Wolfe’: Aftercare at Abbott-Wade

December 9, 2021February 21, 2018 by Paramount Digital

Winston Wolfe was the famous ‘fixer’ from Pulp Fiction who defines his role with the line, ‘I solve problems’. We have no need for this Harvey Keitel character, instead we have Adam – our Abbott-Wade equivalent (only much less intimidating and far more friendly). Affectionately known to his friends as ‘Wiggy’, Adam’s career started in cabinet making – a trade which demands a keen eye for detail. His passion for renovating camper vans and building durable, quality longboards (skateboards to you and I) in his spare time has honed his ability to adapt his carpentry skills to solve almost any problem. All of this makes him the ideal perfectionist for the position of Abbott-Wade’s resident ‘Fixer‘, or Aftercare Fitter to give him his official title.

What our customers say: More competitive on price!

Choosing a company to install or renovate you stairs is a tricky undertaking. There are many things to consider. Reputation, experience, product range – but the one which customers tell us is a deciding factor time and time again is price.

Staircase Stories: Mr & Mrs Hughes, Amersham

July 26, 2022February 7, 2018 by Eddie Ping

Extension work to the Hughes family home in Amersham created the perfect opportunity to begin planning for a stunning entrance hall. An oak staircase comprising Abbott-Wade’s Cube handrail with white stringers and risers was decided upon. Soft carpeted treads and a stunning feature step were the icing on an already delicious cake!

“The Abbott-Wade staff were so helpful throughout the whole process. All the staff were very friendly and helpful at every stage. They even noticed a tiny fault on one piece of the glass and had a replacement on order before we even knew there was problem. I would certainly highly recommend the company and their product to anyone who asked me.”

Reflecting on The National Family Business Awards: How a winning evening was reported

September 14, 2022February 1, 2018 by Eddie Ping

It’s been some time since our award winning visit to Wembley Stadium for the National Family Business Awards. Despite the time which has passed there’s still a spring in our step and buzz in the air. It still means a lot to us as being a family business is something which we’re very proud of and gains great respect from our customers. Naturally, family and friends were quick to pass on their congratulations but as time has passed, the news has spread and accolades have been coming in from the wider community. This in itself it a hue compliment especially as we’re proud of our community and the role we play in it employing local people.

Take a look back at some of the local coverage we received following our Award Winning evening:

What our customers say: We’re glad you were recommended

August 24, 2022January 14, 2018 by Eddie Ping

Since 1996 we have worked hard to create a reputation that is second-to-none and we know that it takes years to build a reputation and days to ruin one. Unlike larger companies we don’t have a large budget for marketing and self promotion which is why such a large proportion of our business comes from customer recommendations.

Our customers are our ambassadors

When customers commit to investing in a new staircase, seeing an example of our handiwork firsthand gives them the reassurance they need that all our installations are completed to the highest standards using quality materials.
