Items retrieved safely from high cupboards, lofts, and top shelves. No ladder climbing required - I'll reach what you need and hand it down carefully, or put things back up for you.
### Stop Climbing on Kitchen Chairs
That box of Christmas decorations in the loft? Suitcase on top of the wardrobe? **There's a safer way than wobbling on furniture.**
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Falls from height are one of the most common home accidents, especially for people over 60. Kitchen chairs aren't designed for climbing - they're designed for sitting.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Locate Items You tell me what you need and roughly where it is. I set up the ladder safely and locate the items. ### Step 2: Safe Retrieval Items passed down carefully - heavy things get lowered properly, not dropped. If there's a lot, I'll hand them down systematically. ### Step 3: Placement I put items where you want them - on the table, in the hallway, wherever makes sense. If you want stuff put back up later, I can do that too.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Seasonal storage?** I can retrieve Christmas decorations before the holidays and put them back up in January. Same with summer/winter wardrobe swaps or camping gear. **Loft storage?** If you need to access your loft regularly but the hatch is awkward, I can fit a proper pull-down ladder. Separate job, but makes future access much easier. **Multiple jobs?** If I'm already there for something else (furniture moving, flat pack assembly), grabbing a few things from high cupboards adds minimal time. Makes sense to bundle tasks. **Elderly relatives?** This is a really common service for people whose parents or grandparents have stuff stored high that they can't reach anymore. I can help them access things safely and maybe relocate frequently-needed items to lower storage.
Frequently Asked Questions about High cupboard item retrieval in Teignmouth
What can you retrieve from high cupboards?
Anything you need - Christmas decorations, suitcases, old paperwork, unused kitchen equipment, anything stored up high that you can't reach safely. I'll get it down carefully and hand it to you, or put it where you want.
Is this service just for elderly people?
Not at all - it's for anyone who can't or doesn't want to climb ladders. Plenty of younger people are uncomfortable on ladders, or don't own a suitable one, or have items stored too high to reach safely. No judgment, just help.
Can you put items back up in high cupboards too?
Absolutely - that's actually more common. People get stuff down themselves but can't get it back up safely. Christmas decorations going back in the loft, suitcases after a trip, that sort of thing. Same price.
How long does retrieving items take?
Depends how many items and how awkward they are to reach. A couple of boxes from a loft might be 30 minutes. Sorting through a packed high cupboard to find specific items might be an hour. I'll estimate based on what you describe.
Do I need to provide a ladder?
No - I bring everything needed. Proper ladder, safety equipment, the works. Much safer than you balancing on a kitchen chair trying to reach things.
