Clearing homes in Wells
Wells is about 45 minutes from our base in Weston-super-Mare, along the A371 under the southern edge of the Mendips through Cheddar and Westbury-sub-Mendip. It’s a straightforward drive, and Wells is part of the wider area where we take on every kind of clearance.
We cover the whole city, from the historic streets around the cathedral and market place to the residential roads off Portway and Glastonbury Road and the newer housing on the edges. We also clear homes in the villages nearby: Wookey, Wookey Hole, Easton, Coxley, Polsham, Dinder, Croscombe, Priddy and Westbury-sub-Mendip.
A small city with old buildings
Wells is England’s smallest city, and its centre is full of listed medieval and Georgian buildings. Plenty of people live right in the middle of it, often above shops or in old houses with awkward stairs. Further out the housing changes to post-war and later family homes, bungalows and retirement developments.
- Narrow historic streets. The centre has tight streets, loading restrictions and busy market days. We’ll ask what day suits and plan the van around it.
- Flats over shops. Access is sometimes through a side door or a rear yard, up a steep staircase. We protect the shared areas and keep noise and disruption down.
- Retirement flats. We check whether the lift can be used for removals and whether the house manager needs notice first.
- Village cottages. Low beams, small doors and outbuildings full of tools and garden things are common in the villages around Wells.
Jobs we do in and around Wells
A lot of our work in a city like Wells is quiet and personal: clearing a home after a death, helping a couple move from a family house into a flat, or emptying a property when someone moves into care. We also work for landlords between tenancies and for people who simply have too much in the loft and garage.
- House clearances, whole or part
- Flat and apartment clearance, including upper floors with no lift
- Single item moves, such as taking a favourite chair to a care home room
- Furniture and appliance removal
- Garage clearance
We reuse first. Good furniture and household items go to charities and reuse projects, recyclable materials are separated, and the rest goes to licensed facilities.
Probate clearance in Wells
For executors and solicitors, we can collect keys from your office or a local estate agent and clear the property unattended, with photo updates as we go. We keep an eye out for documents, photographs, jewellery, cash and keepsakes, put them to one side and check with you before anything leaves. Older Wells homes sometimes hold antiques or pieces with some value, so we can put you in touch with an independent valuer before the clearance starts. Read more about probate clearance, or our guide to clearing a house after someone dies.
Getting ready for the clearance
The simplest way to get a price is to send photos or walk us round on a video call. Show every room, the loft, the garage and the garden, and tell us where a van could stop. If you’d prefer a visit, we can come out and see it.
Before the day, take anything the family is keeping, or gather it in one room and tell us. Leave the heating and lights on if you can. If there are items we need to know about in advance, such as gas bottles or old tins of chemicals in a shed, mention them when you ask for the quote so the right disposal is planned in.
Wells clearance questions
The flat is in the centre of Wells. Where will the van go?
We’ll ask about the street and any loading restrictions when you get in touch, and we avoid market days where we can. If we can’t stop right outside, we plan a short carry and include it in the quote.
Do you cover Wookey Hole, Coxley and Croscombe?
Yes, and the other villages around Wells, including Easton, Dinder, Priddy and Westbury-sub-Mendip.
There may be some valuable furniture. What happens to it?
Nothing goes until you’ve decided. We can put you in touch with an independent valuer, and anything the family or the estate wants to sell or keep is set aside first.
How quickly can you get to Wells?
Wells is about 45 minutes away, so it’s easy for us to reach. Tell us your deadline, such as a completion date or a tenancy ending, and we’ll do our best to fit around it.
