We turn up, carry everything out, load it and drive it away on the same visit. Nothing sits on your drive and you fill nothing yourself. It is not the right answer for every job, and below we are straight about when a skip suits better.
Side by side
Both get rubbish off your property. The difference is who does the work, where it sits and for how long.
With a skip, you or your builder fill it. With us, we carry everything out of the house, garden or garage and load the van ourselves.
A skip needs a clear, flat spot for as long as you hire it. A van only needs somewhere to park while we load, then it has gone.
With no room on the drive, a skip often ends up on the road, and that needs a permit. A van leaves nothing behind, so there is no road permit to sort out.
A skip stays until the hire ends, which suits filling it a little at a time. Our job is 1 visit: we arrive, load and leave.
Fridges, freezers, mattresses and upholstered sofas need separate handling. We tell you before we load which items are priced on their own.
Neither one is always cheaper. A skip has a hire fee; we price from what you send. Get both prices for your own job and compare.
When we fit
A van works best when the waste is ready to go, or when you want it gone in one go without lifting it yourself.
We take care not to cause damage on the way out, and we sweep up where the pile stood before we drive off.
When a skip suits
A skip earns its keep on a long project where waste comes out a bit at a time. Think of a kitchen and bathroom refit spread over several weeks, or a garden being dug out and relaid at weekends. You can throw things in as you go, and nobody has to come back each time.
It also suits a job where you have the time and the help to fill it yourself, and a good flat space on the drive to keep it on.
If that sounds like your job, a skip may be the better choice, and we would rather say so. You can still call us for the final clear up or for anything left over once the skip has gone.
How it works
Snap the pile, tell us your postcode and say if anything is upstairs or round the back.
We come back to you with a price for what is in the picture. See how we price a job.

No. We park, load and leave, so nothing is left standing on the road. A permit only comes into it when a skip is placed on the road.
No. We bring it out from wherever it is, whether that is the loft, the garage, the back garden or a side passage, and load it ourselves.
