What our reviews mention most
Questions we get asked
All questionsHow long can I keep the skip?
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.
Can you get a skip onto a small or awkward drive?
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.
What size skip do I need?
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. Compare the sizes, or call and tell us about the job.
Can you deliver today?
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.
How do I pay?
We accept all major credit and debit cards. We’ll confirm the price before your skip is booked in.
