Why Choose Yeates for Your Removals & Storage in North Somerset
When you’re moving home or need secure storage, choosing the right company matters. Here’s why families and businesses across Weston-super-Mare, Clevedon, Bristol, and North Somerset have trusted Yeates for over a century.
115 Years of Experience You Can Trust
Established in 1910, Yeates is the oldest family-run removal business in the Bristol area. We’ve been serving North Somerset for four generations, passing down expertise, local knowledge, and a commitment to exceptional service through our family.
Since George and Ginny Yeates started with horses and carts in Clevedon, we’ve completed thousands of moves and helped countless families and businesses with their storage needs. That’s over a century of experience handling everything from delicate antiques to complete house removals.
Currently led by James Griffin (fourth generation), we maintain the same values that built our reputation: reliability, care, and putting customers first.
Outstanding Customer Satisfaction
99% of our customers recommend us – that’s not marketing speak, it’s verified by independent reviews.
- Almost 1,000 verified reviews on Referenceline
- 4.9+ star ratings across review platforms
- Most business comes from referrals – our best advertisement is satisfied customers telling their friends and family
Sam and his team were very professional and competent but also friendly, polite and reassuring. They stayed calm and made the move less stressful than it could have been. They explained to us what was going to happen and delivered everything to the allocated rooms without damage.
They are not the cheapest company, but we would definitely recommend them for the quality of their work.
Thank you to everyone at Yeates.
