Meltham Skip Hire FAQs

Should I stay in when the skip will be delivered?

No, you don’t have to be home when we are delivering the skip. Providing we are able to access where you need it positioned, we can manage everything.

When you are not going to be at home, simply provide us with any relevant delivery directions when you place the order. For example, you might prefer the skip to be positioned at a particular part of the property. Alternatively, you might need to make sure the skip doesn’t prevent access to your garage.

Whatever the situation may be, provide the information when ordering, and then we will ensure the directions are passed to the delivery driver.

Do all skips have a drop door?

For anybody who is getting a builder’s skip, the likelihood is that it will come with a drop door. This is designed for disposing of heavy building and demolition materials, as it can be walked in the skip by using a wheelbarrow.

Some mini skips and 4 yarders also come with a drop door, although these are typically more uncommon. The reason being these sizes are generally low enough on the ends to be able to tip a wheelbarrow of waste into them.

If you require a drop door for your job, let us know when ordering. We will do our utmost to make sure a container which has a drop door is provided.

When will the skip be delivered to me?

We will make sure your skip is provided when required, which in most cases is going to be Monday to Saturday. When you order prior to 3pm Monday to Friday, we can usually deliver your skip the very next day.

Although we are not able to promise an exact delivery time, we will always do our very best to reach you within either an AM or PM slot of your choosing.

This includes making use of doors or other large flat materials to build up around the waste. This can be hazardous and is therefore not allowed.
