When you book a skip, one transparent fee covers delivery, collection, labour assistance on site if needed, and lawful waste disposal. Here's what that means in practice. We deliver the skip to your property (driveway, garden, or roadside with a permit if required), position it safely, and leave it for the duration you've agreed — typically 1 to 2 weeks. You load the skip at your own pace. On collection day, our crew arrives with a vehicle, hooks the skip, and removes it. We handle all the heavy lifting if you need a hand; you're not expected to manhandle a three-piece suite into the container. We also manage skip permits with the local authority if your skip sits on a public highway — you won't need to chase Bradmore Council paperwork yourself.
One important edge case: asbestos, hazardous chemicals, and certain electrical items (fridges, freezers, air-con units) require specialist handling and cannot go in a standard skip. We'll flag these upfront and either arrange a safe removal route or suggest a specialist service. Likewise, if your skip needs dismantling on site — say, removing garden decking panels or breaking down large cardboard boxes — we can advise on labour costs separately. Sweeping and tidying the area afterwards is not included in the base hire, but we can quote for that as an add-on if your site is messy after we've taken the skip away.
