I rang the shop after my rollator wheel jammed - Stuart said they didn’t do spare parts as in new wheels but to bring it straight in and he would have a look.
He didn’t just fix the wheel he made the whole thing more stable - so greatful for the quick and friendly service!
Thank you!

Outstanding service in an emergency
Outstanding service in an emergency – highly recommend! My wheelchair died while we were on holiday in the Gloucester area, which could have ruined our trip. I phoned Ableworld late on Friday evening and spoke to Nigel. He was incredibly kind and invited us to come into the shop early on Saturday morning so he could check the wheelchair and see how to help us.We arrived at 8:45 AM, and Nigel was exceptionally thoughtful, considerate, and deeply understanding of my disability. There was absolutely no sales pressure. After trying out a few different options, we decided to purchase a new wheelchair. Nigel and the team sorted everything out for us seamlessly. We cannot thank Nigel (the Gloucester store manager) enough for his friendly and professional support. We highly recommend them!– Belinda and Dave

Just over three years ago as both my…
Just over three years ago as both my wife and I were in our early 80s and especially we had no toilet facilities down stairs we needed a stairlift.
On being advised by Ableworld we purchased on the advise of Ableworld the Handicam Stair lift which was on display in the store.
We had a lot of problems which had to be sorted out but the main one was having to replacement batteries at a cost of £55 every two months.not covered by our agreement.
We were told that it should never had been sold to us because in the book it recommends no more use than ten times a day and not meant for that type of use. When you buy a lift as you get older it is going to be used more thats why you buy it.
But more of stairlifts later
Last year I bought a quality scooter at a cost of £999 after seeing it demonstrated and easy way to assemble he swung it up in the air by the handle swinging the motor unit in position. (not recommended)
Taking it home and charging it up the next day Saturday leaving the carpark opposite the shop I found it quickly lost charge. Going into the shop I was told they needed both the charger and scooter as there could be a fault.
On the monday I found it would not connect properly and they then found the battery contacts had been damaged. I was told by another engineer what he had done swinging it to can only have caused the damage.
New Parts had to be ordered and fourteen days later and only 5 hours use I was told I could collect.
When asked if they had checked the battery and charger it had not been done and I refused to accept it and then got a full refund.
Now back to the Stair lift I have recently bought a new one to replace the other fouir year old one, as recommended by the engineer.
After being measured for it I have found that my feet dont rest on the footplate and if I lean forward when I try to get off the heals of my legs slide off and pitch me forward onto the floor,
I have complained about this all within the 30 days, and as there is no room for adjustment. He had a footrest swivel unit he took out of a faulty lift which would fit and be adjustable but I said I had no money to pay the difference but if they fitted it I would accept,
They had supplied me again with an unsuitable lift inspite of being measured so supply or remove and refund my money , in the meantime at 88 if I had an accident through slippingthey will be responsible.
I have had no response after the engineers visit so now moving to the next stage.
So much for ableworld. Graham J

Amazing Service Again From The Gloucester Store!
This is the second time I have had to use Ableworld in a matter of weeks. This time I needed a stair lift urgently for my parents.
The service we received exceeded my expectations. Firstly a thank you to Bridget for arranging a visit swiftly from Paul, who knows everything there is to know about stairlifts and I was so pleased that he was the one installing it too. I wasn’t able to be there for the installation but he spent time ensuring they knew how to work it safely.

A very welcoming experience. We didn’t feel pressured into purchasing anything. Bridget was extremely helpful, gave good advice & answered all our questions. A demonstration & trial run outside the shop were also very welcomed.
