Wilfords started off business producing hand crafted timber products. In 1934 the then owner, H. Wilford, decided to sell the produced items by auction on a Thursday afternoon when it was "half day closing" in Wellingborough.
Since then Wilfords has become an institution of the local community, and continues to hold auctions every other Thursday, and remains a family business.
We hold general auctions every other Thursday from 9:30am, simply come along and view all the items for sale on the Wednesday between 10am-4pm, register with us, and then bid!
You can drop any items you wish to sell with us off from 9am-5pm every Friday.
We can provide a complete house clearance, which includes the appraisal and removal of saleable items as well as a full clearance of non-saleable items for disposal should this be required. We also offer collection for any items you wish to sell with us, Please contact the office for more details or to book for either of these services.
Pre-sale verbal valuations and advice are given free of charge and without obligation, and can be carried out in situ or at the saleroom.
