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.
