Garage emptied out, sorted through, and reorganised sensibly. Rubbish removed, shelving fitted if needed, everything put back so you can find it and use the space properly.
When The Garage Becomes The Dumping Ground
Can't remember what's in there? Can't open the door fully? Definitely can't fit the car in? Every garage gets like this eventually - stuff accumulates and before you know it, it's unusable.
💡 Pro tip: If you haven't used something in 2 years and it's in the garage, you're probably never using it. Time to let it go.
Quick Tidy vs. Proper Organisation
Shifting boxes around doesn't actually fix anything:
| ✅ Proper Organisation | ❌ Quick Shuffle |
|---|---|
| Everything out, sorted, decided | Just stack differently |
| Rubbish actually removed | Kept "just in case" |
| Shelving fitted for long-term storage | Piled on the floor |
| Like items grouped together | Random placement |
Three hours of proper organisation beats years of garage Tetris.

I'll hold stuff up, you decide - keep, bin, tip, charity. The faster you decide, the quicker we get through it.
Step 3: Organise & Store

🔧 DIY Tips
Want to tackle your garage yourself? Here's how:
🔧 What you'll need
- Free weekend
- Help from someone ruthless
- Van for tip run
- Shelving or storage boxes
📐 How to organise a garage properly
- Pick a dry day (you'll need the drive)
- Empty EVERYTHING out - no shortcuts
- Sweep the floor while it's empty
- Sort into piles - definitely keep, probably bin, maybe keep
- Be honest - if you haven't used it in 2 years, you won't
- Take a van load to the tip (or three)
- Install wall shelving before putting stuff back
- Put back by category - tools together, garden stuff together
- Keep floor clear for the car
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Not emptying it completely (can't clean or reorganise properly)
- Keeping everything "just in case" (defeats the point)
- No plan for where things go back (ends up the same mess)
- Stacking stuff high with no access (bottom boxes never seen again)
💡 Pro trick: French cleats on the walls are brilliant for garage storage. Hang tools, shelves, bikes - whatever you need. Way more flexible than fixed shelving.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🚗 Actually parking in there? If you want to use the garage for a car, plan your storage around that. Shelving on walls, ceiling storage for bulky light items, keep the floor clear.
Shelving options: I can fit cheap chipboard shelving (does the job), metal racking (more heavy-duty), or wall-mounted systems. Depends on what you're storing and your budget.
Exeter's terraced houses often have tiny garages barely big enough for a Fiat 500. Wall storage is your friend - get stuff vertical to maximise floor space.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does garage organisation actually involve?
We empty it out, sort through everything with you, bin or take to the tip what's not needed, then put back what you're keeping in a logical way. If you want shelving or hooks fitted to make better use of wall space, I can do that too.
Do I need to be there the whole time?
Yes, at least for the sorting part - you need to decide what's staying and what's going. Once we've sorted everything, if you trust me to organise it sensibly, you can leave me to it.
What happens to the rubbish?
I can take it to the tip as part of the service. Metal, wood, general waste all separated properly at the recycling centre. If there's loads, I'll quote for a separate tip run.
How long does a garage take?
Depends how full it is and how ruthless you are with chucking stuff. Average single garage that's rammed full - probably 3-4 hours to empty, sort, and reorganise. Half-full garage being tidied might only be 2 hours.
Can you fit storage while you're at it?
Yes - shelving, pegboard, hooks, whatever makes sense for your space. I'll advise on what would work best. Most garages benefit from decent wall shelving to get stuff off the floor.
