About Our History

Michael Walkling, the founder of Frederick Andrews opened our first Auction sale room in Sheerness in 2004, bringing 18 years experience from working as a freelance auctioneer and valuer.

In 2006 the opportunity arose to purchase PS Williams & Co, who had been trading for some 20 years in Maidstone Auction.

In April 2015 we procured our 3rd sale room in Battlesbridge, Essex. There is a large antiques center here. Battlesbridge is a welcoming room where online bidding is also available.

We now hold 100 auctions a year across the 3 sale rooms.

With a constantly growing client base of both trade and private vendors / buyers, we also deal with numerous solicitors, estate agents, bailiffs and various police authorities.

We pride ourselves on our services, which include:
  • Fully insured for all risks including Goods in Transit.
  • We run a fully computerised system.
  • Pre and Post sale advices to keep you informed.
  • Free WI FI at Maidstone and Sheerness.
  • Fully licensed waste carriers for any rubbish disposal.
  • Our own small fleet of vans for collection / deliveries.
  • Valuation service for any purpose.
  • House clearance service from a single item to complete clearances.
  • Competitive commission rates and prompt payment.
