If on a budget then ubiquiti unifi access points would be my choice.
Have had zero problems with the above (unlike the "enterprise-grade" Aerohive access points we were forced to deploy at work)
It depends what's dropping out, and why.
So are they dropping off the Wi-Fi and having to reauthenticate? Or are they staying connected to Wi-Fi but with zero throughput? How many do you have currently?
No access point will give you the performance you want out of it if you're just chucking them on desks and not paying attention to coverage, RF environment, antenna plot etc etc. Don't assume replacing your APs is going to fix your issues.
Can anyone help
The coverage area is one room 13 metres by 6 metres, and then there is a board room/meeting room which is about 5 metres by 3 metres.
We have three WAP150's at the moment.
laptops and mobile phones, we have the Cisco WAP150s but they dont seem to be very good they are dotted around the office on the desks

Where is the third? Should only need 1 in each room.
"Dotted around"? You should just need 1 in the centre of each room
Chucking them on desks should be fine (desktop installation is specifically mentioned for that access point), although ceiling mount is normally the best option. Assuming no obvious interference, then it's likely a configuration issue (wrong channel/standard) compared to the devices in use.
Make sure you have the latest firmware installed on the WAP150s.
