Holiday over and your suitcase is cluttering up the bedroom? I'll pop it back in the loft safely so you can reclaim your floor space.
That Suitcase Living in Your Bedroom
You know how it goes: holiday ends, suitcase gets unpacked, and then... it sits by the wardrobe for three months. You keep meaning to put it back in the loft, but that means getting the ladder out, wrestling with the hatch, and risking life and limb to shove it back through a narrow opening.
So it stays there. Taking up space. Looking messy. Annoying you every time you see it.
💡 Pro tip: Book this service the same day you unpack. Case goes straight back up before it becomes permanent bedroom furniture.

🔧 DIY Tips
Want to store it yourself? Here's how to do it safely:
🔧 Safe storage steps
- Empty heavy items out first if the case is packed full
- Have someone hold the ladder while you climb
- Push case up through hatch before you climb up (not while you're on the ladder)
- Store near the hatch if you use it regularly, further back if it's long-term
- Don't stack it on top of loose insulation - it'll sink and be hard to retrieve
📐 Loft storage tips
- Store suitcases with smaller cases nested inside bigger ones (saves space)
- Put silica gel packets inside to prevent musty smells
- Leave zips slightly open so they don't smell when you next use them
- Store hard-shell cases on their sides so they don't warp
- Label or photograph where you put things so you remember next time
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Climbing ladder while carrying the case (seriously risky)
- Shoving case through hatch without checking ceiling clearance
- Storing it right at the back then forgetting where it is
- Stacking it somewhere it'll fall on your head next time you open the hatch
- Not checking joists - case sitting on insulation between joists will be stuck next time
💡 Pro trick: Store your suitcase near the loft hatch with the handle facing out. Next time you need it, you can grab it easily without climbing all the way into the loft.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Multiple cases? Whole family back from a big trip? I'll store all your luggage in one visit - doesn't cost extra as long as it's all happening at once.
Combine with other jobs? If I'm already coming round for something else, chuck suitcase storage on the list. Makes better use of the callout fee.
Old Exeter houses with tight loft hatches? I'm used to working with awkward access - narrow openings, dodgy ladders, low headroom. I'll get your case stored safely even when your loft isn't straightforward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you store multiple suitcases?
Yes - whether it's just your weekend bag or the whole family's luggage after a big holiday, I'll get them all up there in the same visit. One callout covers however many cases you've got (within reason).
Where in the loft do you put them?
I'll put them wherever you want - back where they came from, or we can organize a better spot if your loft's a bit chaotic. Some people like them near the hatch for easy access next time, others want them tucked away properly.
My loft is pretty full already - will they fit?
Usually yes - I can shuffle things around to make space if needed. If your loft's absolutely rammed, I'll be honest and tell you, but most lofts have more space than you think once things are stacked properly.
Should I empty the case first?
Up to you - but heavy cases full of stuff are awkward to lift through the hatch. If it's stuffed full, I might ask you to take some weight out just to make it safer to maneuver.
Can you help tidy the loft while you're up there?
If you want a quick reorganization of what's already there, we can do that - but it'll take longer than 15 minutes so you'll be into the next half-hour at £85 total. Worth it if your loft's a mess though.
