### Take the Ladder Work Out of January
Christmas is over. The lights have done their job. Now they need **coming down before they look tatty** - but nobody wants to spend a January weekend up a ladder in the cold, untangling wet lights from gutters.
Especially when it's the same ladder work that put you off installing them yourself in the first place.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Lights tested and stored properly last for years. Lights shoved in bin bags come out half-broken with tangled wires and mystery faults next Christmas.

Good to Know
> ❄️ **Weather dependent:** January in Devon can be wet, icy, and windy. I won't work on roofs in dangerous conditions. We'll reschedule for a safe day if needed. **Clips staying or going?** If I installed your lights, I probably used all-in-one gutter clips. These can stay in place for next year (faster installation, lower cost). Your choice. **Need storage containers?** I can bring basic boxes or bags if you haven't got enough. Proper storage boxes from DIY shops are worth it if you've got expensive lights - they last better than bin bags.
Frequently Asked Questions about Christmas light removal in Teignmouth
When should I get Christmas lights taken down?
Whenever you want! Traditionally Twelfth Night (January 5th/6th), but some people do it New Year's Day, others wait until mid-January. I'm busiest early January, so book ahead if you want a specific date. Weather dependent though - won't go on roofs in ice or high winds.
Will you test the lights before storing them?
Yes - that's part of the service. I test each string as it comes down. Broken lights get separated so you know what needs replacing next year, not finding out Christmas Eve when everything's shut.
What happens to the clips and fixings?
Your choice - I can remove them all for a completely clean finish, or leave them in place for next year (makes installation faster and cheaper). Gutter clips left in place generally survive the year fine if they're decent quality.
Do you pack lights properly or just chuck them in a bag?
Proper storage - each string wrapped or coiled, secured with cable ties, stored in boxes or bags by location. Makes next year so much easier. It's the difference between ten minutes untangling or ten seconds plugging in.
How long does removal take compared to installation?
Usually a bit quicker - no fiddly positioning or styling, just remove and pack. Average house that took 3 hours to install usually takes 2-2.5 hours to remove properly. Depends on how much testing and sorting is needed.
