Roof box carefully removed from your car and stored wherever you want it. No scratches, no wrestling with it yourself.
### Summer's Over, Box Needs To Come Off
Holiday season's done. That roof box has been up there for months, **costing you 15% fuel economy** and limiting which car parks you can use. Time to take it down for winter.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Clean the box before storing it. Dried-on motorway grime and salt is harder to shift next season. Quick hose-down takes 5 minutes.

Needs two people really for bigger boxes - they're awkward. ### Step 3: Store It Move it to garage, loft, shed, wherever you're keeping it til next season. I can help manoeuvre it if needed.

Good to Know
> 🚗 **Seasonal fitter?** I can fit it in spring and remove it in autumn as a regular service. Set and forget. **Storing tips:** - **In loft**: Best space-saver but check loft floor is strong enough (20kg box) - **In garage**: On a high shelf or wall-mounted if you can - **Cover it**: Dust cloth keeps it cleaner while stored **Roof bars:** If removing bars too, store all the fixings inside the bars themselves. You'll thank yourself next season. **Often combined with:** - Roof bar removal - Garage organisation/storage - Spring refit service
Frequently Asked Questions about Car roof box removal in Sidmouth
Why would I need help removing a roof box?
Because they're awkward, heavy (15-25kg empty), and high up. Easy to scratch your roof if you're wrestling it off alone. Plus the clamps can be seized if it's been on a while. I'll get it off safely without damaging car or box.
Can you store it somewhere for me?
I can help get it into your garage, loft, or shed - basically wherever you want it. If you want it up in loft space, I can do that as part of the job. I don't have storage space to keep it for you though.
Should I leave roof bars on or take them off too?
Up to you. Bars don't affect fuel economy much and are useful for occasional stuff (surfboards, bikes, timber). If you never use them and want the roof clear, I can take them off at the same time.
Will you check the box for any damage while removing it?
Yes - I'll let you know if I spot cracks, broken clamps, or anything that needs sorting before next season. Better to know now than when you go to fit it next summer.
How long does removal take?
15-20 minutes usually. Loosen clamps, lift it off, job done. Bit longer if clamps are seized or if you want it taken to loft/storage.
