Reliable skip hire in Clayton-le-Moors.

The phrase builders skip can refer to two different sizes – the 6 cubic yard and the 8 cubic yard skip. The name comes from the fact that they are the most frequent sizes that are ordered by general builders and tradespeople.

These substantial containers are suited to a wide variety of domestic and commercial projects. These are the biggest sizes that you can use for weighty builders waste including garden soil, rubble and bricks.

The mini skip is the most compact size provided by skip firms and is designed for smaller DIY jobs, house clearances and general tidy-ups. For the majority of firms, the mini skip is a 2 cubic yard skip, that will contain the equivalent of about 25 black bags worth of rubbish.

Rather than a 2 cubic yard skip, some skip firms will provide a 3 cubic yard as their smallest container. They will likely refer to this as the mini skip, which may be slightly confusing. But rest assured, the cost of hiring a skip depends on the actual size of the skip ordered, so whether it is branded as being a mini skip or not will not make any difference.

This will depend on where the skip is going to be located. You will only need a skip permit if it is placed on public property, like a street, pavement or grass verge. You will not require a permit when your skip will be on your private property, such as a drive or inside your company premises.

If you need to get a permit, we can arrange this on your behalf as part of the service. Just let us know while completing the order process, so we will make the required arrangements with the local authority. They do charge a fee for this, so if you can position the skip on your own land, it will save you a few pounds.

Please don’t overfill your skip as this makes it hazardous to move, and you will be asked to empty any contents higher than the level load mark. This also means that you cannot make use of sheets of wood, doors or another object, since this will artificially increase the height of the skip. We have a legal duty of care to make sure that containers are not overloaded or overweight before transporting them.

Please make sure that you order the appropriate sized skip to meet your needs and get in contact if you’re not sure which size is best. We would be pleased to help.

In general, almost all skips can be supplied with a drop door, depending on skip size, availability and location. If you want a drop-down door, please tell us when ordering your skip.

Getting a skip which has a drop door is mainly helpful when you are choosing a large builder’s skip, since it lets you wheelbarrow waste straight into the skip. This isn’t so important for mini and midi skips, because they are low enough at the edges for you to be able to tip waste over the edge.

No, you do not have to be at home when we are delivering your skip. Provided that we can gain access to where you need it delivered, we are able to take care of everything.

In the event you will not be at home, just let us know any relevant delivery directions when you place your order. For instance, you may want the skip to be positioned on a particular part of your property. Or you might want to make sure the skip doesn’t obstruct use of your garage.

No matter what the case might be, tell us when ordering, and we will ensure the directions will be passed to the delivery driver.

• Pieces of furniture
• Tree cuttings
• Garden soil
• Rubble
• Bathroom suites
• Kitchen cabinets and units

Many waste materials will be accepted, and therefore whether you need to dispose of metals, plastic materials, timber or textiles, we can normally take your rubbish away.

The quantity and waste types you discard in your skip may vary based on which size skip you have ordered. Skips have a weight limit for safety. So if you would like get rid of garden soil and rubble, for example, the biggest size container you would be allowed to use will be the 8 yard skip.

What type of materials am I not allowed to put in a skip?

Examples of the goods that are restricted include:

• Paint cans
• Solvents Fridges
• Gas canisters
• PC monitors

• Plasterboard

When it comes to ordering a skip in Clayton-le-Moors, you will have numerous sizes to select from, ranging from 2 to 40 cubic yards in volume.

The 2 cubic yard container, sometimes called a mini skip, will be the smallest choice available. This compact container is excellent for small domestic clearances and DIY jobs.

Our next size available is the 4 yard midi skip, which can hold the equivalent of roughly 35-40 bin bags of waste.

After the midi are the builder’s skips, that are available in either 6 or 8 yards. These are the most frequent sizes ordered, as building contractors and tradespeople frequently use them. But their big capacity also makes them suitable for house clearances involving bulky objects like pieces of furniture and beds.

We will provide 10, 12, 14 and 16 cubic yard containers for customers with even larger rubbish disposal needs. These skips are only suitable for light waste materials, so they can not be hired to dispose of soil or stone.

Although we can’t guarantee what time we will deliver your skip, we strive to provide you with a morning or afternoon delivery slot to manage your day more easily.

All we ask is that you ensure the delivery lorry has access to your required delivery area, as failed delivery attempts can result in a charge for a wasted trip.

Roll-on roll-off (RORO) skips are substantial commercial scale skips that are used primarily within the business sector. They are available in 20-40 cubic yards, making them ideal for businesses that produce large quantities of waste materials.

Indeed, we provide a nationwide skip hire and waste management service. We can supply our range of skip sizes to areas throughout Lancashire, such as Clayton-le-Moors, Preston, Skelmersdale and Clitheroe. So wherever you require a skip to get delivered, we have got it covered.

Electronic objects including TVs, freezers, fridges, computer systems, monitors and hoovers are classed as a hazardous type of waste and so can not be thrown in your skip with other waste. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013 requires that electric powered products need to be segregated from other rubbish. This ensures they can be recycled and disposed of in the safest and most environmentally friendly manner.
