Our History
Asfab (or Andrew Steele Fabrications) was born in 1998. We started as a general laminate fabricator & post former. Supplying Joinery & Construction industries with purpose made laminate components such as Worktops, Shelving, Cubicle components and Flat bonded laminate boards. We started in a 1,500 sq ft unit in Stoke on Trent and quickly out grew the unit, so moved to our current home, a 7,000 sq ft in the pretty village of Madeley, roughly where Cheshire, Shropshire and Staffordshire meet.
In 2010 we became an approved Corianders Solid Surface Fabricator and have completed various domestic and commercial project Nationwide. Around this time we also started offering an installation service for our washroom components.
Whilst we still undertake bespoke items, our main focus is on Washroom Design, manufacture & installation. We offer full project management from planning to commission, from floor to ceiling and everything in between. In 2019 we added ‘Washroom Systems’ to our name to let people know what we do!
