Every driver we’ve had has been efficient, courteous and helpful. By far the best skip company I’ve experienced. Arrived on date agreed; collected within hours of the request. Highly recommended.

Brilliant service from booking to delivery and collection. … I was told my skip would be delivered between 8am and 12pm, it was delivered at 8.03am by a lovely guy who made sure it was positioned on the drive so I could still get my car on as well.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions we hear most.
If your skip is going on a public road or pavement, yes, the local council issues a permit. We apply for it on your behalf when you book, and include the cost in your total before you pay. On a private drive, no permit is needed.
Tyres, asbestos, paint, solvents and oils, gas bottles, batteries, food waste, medical waste, plasterboard and fridge freezers. Everything else, including soil and rubble, goes in (just tell us in advance for the heavy ones). Small separate amounts of plasterboard can sometimes be taken by arrangement, so ring the yard first. Mattresses and upholstered furniture are taken at a small extra charge: single mattress £18, double mattress £24, sofas and armchairs £36.
Standard hire is two weeks. Need it longer? Just ring the yard and we will arrange it. When you’re done, call the collection in. We usually pick up within a couple of days, depending on how busy we are.
Often we can, depending on lorry availability. Ring the yard on 0203 369 9540 and we will tell you straight. The online calendar shows the earliest slots we can guarantee, so phone if you need it sooner.
Our lorries are all standard size and need a clear width of 10 feet (3 metres) to get through. If you’re unsure, send us a photo on WhatsApp (07766 191 470) before booking and we will tell you straight.
