Questions we get asked

It depends on the size, where you are and what’s going in. Call us or send the quote form and we’ll give you a clear price before you book. Quotes are free and there’s no obligation.

As a rough guide: a 2-yard mini for a small bathroom or a garden tidy, a 4-yard midi for a kitchen refit or a bigger clear-out, and a 6-yard skip with doors for building work and house clearances. Our skip sizes page has the dimensions and a job-by-job guide.

Often, yes. Same-day skips depend on how busy the lorries are, so ring us as early in the day as you can on 01202 740 381 and we’ll tell you straight away.

We accept all major credit and debit cards. We’ll confirm the price with you before the skip is booked in.

Not always. Tell us exactly where you want the skip, keep the space clear and make sure the lorry can reach it. If anything looks tricky on the day, our driver will call you.

Often, yes. Easy access to small and difficult drives is what we do. Tell us how wide the gateway is and whether there are low branches or cables overhead, and we’ll work out which skip fits and where it can go. We place skips on drives and private land.

Roughly 1.8 × 1.2 m for a mini, 2.3 × 1.5 m for a midi and 3.4 × 1.8 m for a 6-yard skip, plus clear access for the lorry. Mention low branches, overhead cables or narrow gateways when you book.

Our drivers take care, but a loaded skip is heavy. If you’re worried about block paving or a resin drive, lay a few scaffold boards or planks down first and we’ll set the skip on them.

Most building and household waste: rubble, bricks and concrete, soil and stones, wood and timber, garden waste, furniture, metal and general household rubbish.

Some things have to be handled separately:

• Asbestos
• Fridges and freezers
• TVs, monitors and other electricals
• Tyres and batteries
• Paint, oil, solvents and chemicals
• Gas bottles
• Mattresses

These items incur extra costs, so please ask us before you load any of them. Plasterboard has to be kept apart from other waste, so ask us before you add any. If you’re not sure about something, ring before you load it.

Please don’t. Skips have to be loaded level with the top so they’re safe to lift and carry on the road. If a skip is overloaded, our driver may have to take some out before it can be moved.

Yes, but they’re heavy. Fill to the top edge and no further. If most of your waste is soil or hardcore, tell us when you book and we’ll suggest the right size.

As long as the job needs, within reason. Tell us roughly how long when you book and we’ll agree it up front, then ring us when it’s ready to go.

Give us a call on 01202 740 381 when it’s full and we’ll book the collection at your convenience.

We’re a licensed waste carrier and our disposal follows environmental rules. Waste is sorted so that rubble, wood, metal and green waste can be recycled rather than sent to landfill.

Yes. We supply skips to builders, landscapers and tradespeople as well as homeowners. Call us to talk about regular or repeat skips.
