Reliable skip hire in Barrowford.

It is always best if you can be there when anybody delivers something to your home. That allows you to make sure there is sufficient access for the delivery, plus the skip can be located exactly where you want it.

The same thing goes for those who have a business. If you have a gate or security, it may not be possible to get a skip delivered if you are not there.

Nonetheless, when it is unavoidable and gaining access is not a problem, you don’t have to be there when the skip is being delivered.

When you are getting a builder’s skip, the likelihood is that it will have a drop-down door. This is ideal for disposing of hefty building and demolition waste materials, as it can be walked into the skip using a wheelbarrow.

Some mini skips and 4 yarders also feature a drop-down door, however these are generally more uncommon. The reason being these sizes are typically small enough at the ends for you to tip a wheelbarrow of waste into them.

If you require a drop door for your job, please let us know when placing your order. We will do our utmost to ensure a skip with a drop door is delivered.

Ordering a skip should not be difficult. That is why we have made the order process as simple as possible. First, enter your address to look at the range of skip sizes we can deliver to Barrowford.

No, you can not dispose of old or broken electronic waste products in a skip. This can include things such as laptops, hobs, washing machines, fridges and monitors. Electronic products can’t be thrown in the skip as they can contain hazardous materials and components.

Due to the 2003 WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations, old electronic goods cannot go to landfill and should be recycled.

Make sure you don’t overfill your skip as this makes it dangerous to move, and you will then have to remove any contents over the level load mark. This also means you are not allowed to make use of sheets of timber, doors or another item, since this will artificially increase the height of the skip. Skip companies have a legal duty of care to ensure that bins aren’t overloaded or overweight before transporting them.

Please be sure you select the correct size of skip to suit your needs and get in touch if you’re uncertain which size you require. We will be pleased to help.

For those who have a small quantity of rubbish to dispose of, the mini skip may be the ideal solution. What size is known as a mini skip varies from company to company, according to what sizes they have.

As the name indicates, a builder’s skip refers to the size of skip most commonly used for construction work. There are usually two different skip sizes which can be labelled as a builder’s skip – the 6 yard and 8 cubic yard skip. They are both heavy-duty containers that can be used to dispose of substantial volumes of construction and demolition waste, like soil, concrete and stone.

Even though they are labelled a builder’s skip, they can be used for many other domestic and industrial waste disposal tasks.

You are allowed to put a wide array of waste in the skip. This can include wood, ceramic tiles, metal or rubble from a house clearance. Tree and bush clippings, dirt and rock from garden work is permitted also. Worktops from a kitchen and old bathroom fittings may also go in a skip.
