Put the seats up and used a broom (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
swept up
'used a broom' is the definition.
(swept up with a broom)
'put the seats up' is the wordplay.
'the seats' becomes 'pews' (pew is a kind of seat).
'up' is a reversal indicator (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'put'+'pews'='putpews'
'putpews' back-to-front is 'SWEPT UP'.
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for swept up that I've seen before include "carried away" , "Approached with pomp - gathered dust" .)
