Abbott & Frost have been serving Somerset since 1949, building a strong reputation across Burnham on Sea, Highbridge and the surrounding areas. With decades of experience and in depth local knowledge, we provide clear, honest advice and a hands on service from start to finish. Whether you are selling, buying or letting, we focus on getting the job done properly and achieving the best possible outcome.
Our journey began in 1949, and between 1950 and 1962 we opened our first office at 1 Victoria Street, Burnham on Sea. This was where the foundations of the business were established and our long standing presence in the local community began.
From the outset, we focused on delivering a reliable, professional service and building strong relationships, values that still define the business today.
The corner position gave us greater visibility and accessibility, helping us reach a wider audience and strengthen our presence locally. It marked an important stage in our growth, as we expanded while remaining committed to the same high standards of service.
We moved to our current premises at 18 College Street, Burnham on Sea in 1962, early in the company’s development. This marked a key step forward, giving Abbott & Frost a more prominent base and the space to grow the business and better serve clients.
The move reflected our growing reputation and long term commitment to the local community. Over the years, 18 College Street has become closely associated with Abbott & Frost, a well known and trusted location where generations of clients have been welcomed and supported.
Around 1994, we took another step forward by expanding into the corner shop on Victoria Street, formerly a china shop. This was not just about gaining more space, it reflected our ambition to grow and better meet the needs of our clients.
The prominent corner position improved our visibility and accessibility, allowing us to reach a wider audience and strengthen our position within the local community. It marked another important stage in our development, as we continued to grow while maintaining the same commitment to service and standards.
We then undertook a full rebrand to modernise the business while respecting our long established roots. The aim was to present a clearer, more relevant identity that reflects how we operate today and how we engage with our clients and the local community. From our updated logo and signage to a stronger online presence, every element was refined to reinforce professionalism, trust and a forward thinking approach.
This was not just a visual update. It marked a clear step forward in how we position the business in a competitive and changing market. The rebrand reflects our ongoing commitment to high standards, strong communication and delivering results, while continuing the values that have underpinned Abbott & Frost for decades.
A fresh look, same Abbott & Frost. In 2025 we reinstated our historic name and refreshed our red, white and black branding to create a cleaner, sharper identity that reflects who we are today. We have been part of Burnham on Sea since 1949, helping generations move across Burnham, Highbridge, Brent Knoll, Mark and the surrounding villages. From handwritten ledgers to modern portals and now a touchscreen display in our window, one thing has not changed, straight talking advice, fair dealing and sales that actually complete.
This was more than a visual update. It was a clear step forward in how we present the business while reinforcing the standards we are known for. Our updated identity reflects our ongoing commitment to staying relevant in a changing market, while continuing to deliver the same level of service, knowledge and reliability that has defined Abbott & Frost for decades.
Our dedicated Sales team supports you through every stage of buying and selling, from the initial valuation and pricing strategy through to negotiation, sales progression and completion. With over 75 years of combined experience, we understand the local market in detail and provide clear, practical advice to help you make the right decisions at the right time.
We combine that experience with the latest property platforms, targeted marketing and proactive buyer matching to ensure your property reaches the widest and most relevant audience. From professional photography and floorplans to online exposure and database marketing, every step is focused on generating strong interest and securing the best possible outcome.
Most importantly, we stay involved throughout the process, keeping communication consistent, managing the chain and pushing transactions forward to reduce delays and fall through risk. The result is a structured, hands on approach that gives our clients the best possible chance of achieving their buying or selling goals.

Well, what can I say?? 5* is really not enough! I had a personal recommendation from a friend to give Ian a call about selling my mum's bungalow and I can honestly say that the service I received far exceeded expectations. Ian, ably assisted by TJ, make a great team. From initial enquiry, both were courteous, friendly and efficient and at times it felt like they were dealing with our sale exclusively, such was the level of communication. We had phone calls, texts, emails each time contact was made and we were kept informed and advised throughout the process. It was a very personal service and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others. Ian was able to go above and beyond to resolve one small problem that arose to ensure the sale went through in good time. Thank you Ian and TJ for all your hard work to ensure a speedy and trouble-free sale. Could not speak more highly of their assistance.
