Something living on top of your wardrobe that you can't reach? I'll safely get it down (or put it up there) without you risking chairs, step stools, or wobbly furniture climbing.
### When High Storage Becomes a Problem
Wardrobe tops are **brilliant storage space** - out of sight, out of the way, perfect for seasonal stuff. Until you actually need to get something down. Then you're balancing on a chair, stretching dangerously, hoping the wardrobe doesn't tip over, **hoping you don't fall**.
It's especially difficult if you're **elderly, less mobile, or recovering from injury**. That suitcase you stored six months ago might as well be on the moon.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** If you're struggling to reach wardrobe tops now, think about relocating frequently-used items to lower storage. I can help reorganize while I'm there.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Reorganizing high storage?** While I'm there, I can help rethink what's stored where. Frequently-used items should be at reachable height; rarely-used stuff can go higher up. **Seasonal swaps?** If you're getting Christmas decorations down and putting summer gear up (or vice versa), I'll do the whole rotation in one visit. Efficient use of the callout fee. **Old Exeter houses with tall ceilings?** Those Victorian wardrobes that go right to the ceiling are beautiful but impractical for storage. I've got ladders that'll reach - and I'm used to dealing with older furniture that's a bit wobbly.
Frequently Asked Questions about Top of wardrobe help in Dawlish
What kind of things do people store on wardrobes?
Everything! Suitcases, hatboxes, photo albums, Christmas decorations, spare bedding, old handbags - you name it. Wardrobe tops are prime real estate for stuff you don't use often but can't throw away.
Can you reach really high wardrobes?
Most wardrobes, yes. If yours goes right to the ceiling in an old Dawlish house with 10ft ceilings, I'll bring a bigger ladder. As long as I can physically reach it safely, I'll get your stuff down.
Can you put things back up there too?
Absolutely - if you're swapping seasonal storage (Christmas stuff going up, summer gear coming down), I'll do the whole job in one visit. Same £60 callout.
My wardrobe wobbles - is it safe to climb near it?
I don't lean on wardrobes - I use a proper ladder positioned safely away from the furniture. If your wardrobe's unstable though, we should probably talk about securing it to the wall while I'm there.
What if I don't know exactly what's up there?
I can have a look and tell you what's there, then you decide what you want down. Sometimes people forget what they've stored - often it's stuff that should've been thrown away years ago!
