Friendly and helpful

Friendly and helpful.
Peter and Julie were very helpful and knowledgeable, we bought one item in-store and arranged a survey for a stairlift 2 days later. Survey and quote done by Jamie who was able to pick-up and install on the same day. Very pleased.

Chair experience

I went to the Wigan store to look for a new riser recliner. Peter and Julie were brilliant, listened to what I needed and wanted and I was able to "test drive" chairs. I found the right chair for me and the purchasing process was simple and smooth. Just waiting for my new chair to be delivered. Thank you both.

It's the AfterSales Care that Makes this Team Special

It goes without saying that everyone's mobility limitation is individual to them and over the past 4 years the team members at Bridgend have always gone the extra mile to match my needs to the products available - from knives & forks through to 3 electric scooters. But it's their outstanding aftercare service that means so much more when it comes to needing something to help me with questions and getting things fixed. I always look first to my local Ableworld Team because of their helpful attitude.

Just purchased Abena wet wipes at a shocking price of £8.50 for 80 wipes to later discover they are comparable in size to pampers wipes at a price of £2 for 100 wipes !!!

Excellent response between Christmas and New Year

My wife started to struggle with the stairs over Christmas. We tried a stairlift in the Ableworld warehouse in Cheltenham on Sunday 28th, and she seemed to enjoy using it. Very helpful staff. Liked the options of new, reconditioned or rental. We opted for rental. The surveyor came on the Monday 29th, and the stairlift was installed on the morning of Wednesday 31st by two very friendly guys. Excellent service!

It’s great to hear you were happy with the rental options and the service from start to finish - we’ll be sure to pass on your thanks to the Engineer.

We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope your wife continues to enjoy the stairlift!

Take care,

Quick and very professional

After an injury, I tried to use my late husband's stairlift that had been switched off for nearly 5 years. Obviously, the batteries were dead. I called Ableworld, who's rates were much better than other firms and Roger, the engineer was here within the hour!
He was friendly, professional and very quick to replace the batteries. I am now safe on the stairs! Thank you Roger and Ableworld.

Queensferry branch

Queensferry branch - an absolute s*** show. We visited with a view to buying a rollator for a friend. Nobody was in the shop though we saw one person doing something outside. We walked round, looked at a few things and finally found the rollators, looked and decided we didn't want to buy when we hadn't even had the courtesy of an assistant. As we decided to leave the male assistant showed up but it was too late. Certainly won't go there again and would be dubious about any other branch now. We ended up at Careco and had an amazing experience.

Five Star Service at Ableworld Stockportt

Went to try out recliner chairs at the Stockport Store just after I came out of hospital! Five star service from Kay! Such an asset to Ableworld. Very knowlegable kind and considerate.

No pressure to buy - we went back to order the next week.

Delivery people were lovely, explained everything in detail.

The Quontock chair is wonderful - best thing I ever purchased

Top customer service

We visited the Congleton store to look at options for a reclining chair for my Mum. Linda was amazing, very friendly and welcoming. She took her time to allow her to try all of the chairs, with no pressure and was knowledgeable about what would and would not work for her.
She answered all of our questions and arranged all the paperwork so we could phone later and order without going back to the store. Her customer service was definitely above and beyond.
