Two towns, one trip
Street and Glastonbury sit next to each other, a couple of miles apart across the River Brue. From our base in Weston-super-Mare they’re about 45 minutes away, down the M5 to Junction 23 and then along the A39 across the Levels.
We clear homes and premises in both towns and the villages around them: Walton, Ashcott, Meare, Butleigh, Compton Dundon, West Pennard, Baltonsborough and Sharpham. Whatever the job, from one room to a whole house, it’s the same careful process.
Both towns are in the Somerset Council area, and one trip often covers a quote visit or a clearance on either side of the river. If you’re nearer the coast, our Bridgwater page covers the towns and villages along the A39 towards the M5.
The houses here, and how we work in them
The two towns feel quite different. Street grew around the Clark family’s shoe business, and the Clarks, who were Quakers, built terraces of workers’ houses near the factory in the late 1800s. Around them are inter-war and post-war homes and newer estates. Glastonbury is older, with stone houses and terraces in the centre and lanes that climb steeply towards the Tor.
- Victorian and Edwardian terraces. Narrow fronts, steep stairs and on-street parking. We load quickly and keep the pavement clear.
- Steep lanes in Glastonbury. Roads around Chilkwell Street and towards the Tor are steep and narrow. We ask where the van can stop and plan the carry.
- Busy town centres. Both high streets get busy, and Glastonbury’s especially on market days and at festival time. We’ll pick a day and time that keeps disruption down.
- Bungalows and village homes. Often easier access, but bigger gardens and more in the garage and shed.
Typical jobs in Street and Glastonbury
For example, a typical job might be a semi in Street being emptied for sale after a parent has moved into care, or a rented flat in Glastonbury left with furniture and bags after a tenancy ends. We also clear sheds and overgrown gardens, and take away bulky furniture on its own.
- House clearances
- Flat clearance, including flats above shops
- End-of-tenancy and empty property clearance for landlords
- Garden waste clearance
- Furniture and appliance removal
Good furniture and household items go to charities and reuse projects first. Metals, wood, cardboard, green waste and electricals are separated for recycling, and the rest goes to licensed facilities.
Clearing an estate in Street or Glastonbury
If you’re an executor, you don’t have to be there. We can collect keys from the solicitor or estate agent, clear the property unattended and send photo updates as we go. Documents, photos, jewellery, cash and keepsakes are set aside, and we check with you before anything leaves. Keys are returned when we’re done, and an inventory or photos are available on request. See probate clearance, or read our guide to looking after an empty house after a death.
Before we arrive
Send us photos or walk us round on a video call, room by room, including the loft, garage and garden. Tell us about parking and stairs. We’ll come back with a fixed written quote, and if you’d rather we saw it in person, a visit can be arranged.
Have a look round before the day and take anything the family is keeping, or put it in one room and tell us. If something’s for the new owners, like a cooker or the curtains, let us know so it stays.
On the day, we work room by room, keep the neighbours’ access clear, and sweep through when we’ve finished. If you’re not there, we’ll send photos of the empty rooms and return the keys to you or your agent.
Street and Glastonbury questions
Do you cover both towns and the villages?
Yes. We cover Street, Glastonbury, Walton, Ashcott, Meare, Butleigh, Compton Dundon, West Pennard and Baltonsborough.
Can you work around the Glastonbury Festival?
Yes. Roads around the area get very busy around festival week, so we’ll suggest a date either side of it if we can.
The house is up a steep lane near the Tor. Can you still reach it?
Usually, yes. Send a photo of the lane and the front of the house, and we’ll plan where to stop. Any extra carrying is in the quote from the start.
How long will a clearance take?
Most houses are cleared in one visit. A large house with a full garage and garden may take two days, and we’ll tell you that when we quote.
