Reliable skip hire in Walkden.

The term builder’s skip can relate to two different sizes – the 6 yard and the 8 yd skip. The label comes from the fact that these are the most common sizes that are hired by builders and tradespeople.

These big skips are great for numerous types of household and commercial tasks. These are the largest skips that you can use for weighty builders waste such as dirt, rubble and concrete.

A local skip hire company will likely deliver your skip in Walkden. We work with a network of both regional and national businesses to enable us to offer our service to businesses and households throughout the whole of the UK. These firms are assessed to ensure they satisfy the high expectations we demand with regards to service, cost and environmental performance.

You don’t need to be at your property when your skip is going to be delivered, but it does help. Being in when the skip is being delivered means you can make sure the lorry is given complete access and that the skip will be positioned precisely where you need it. Likewise, if the skip is hired to your business premises, we will appreciate your assistance at the time of delivery, particularly if gates will restrict the lorry’s entry.

Having said that, if you can’t be around at the time of delivery, don’t worry. We simply ask you to let us know when you place your order, and then we will organise everything from there.

The roll-on roll-off container, sometimes referred to as a RORO, is a massive skip that is used to get rid of large quantities of rubbish. These containers are predominantly for business use but can be used by domestic customers too. However, you should have plenty of room since these skips range from 20 to 40 cubic yards, which are much bigger than the average skip you will see on the roadside.

Due to the size, roll-on roll-off containers should only be used for light-weight materials like plastics, timber and paper, and so they are not appropriate for disposing of soil and bricks.

In general, most skips can be provided with a hinged door, depending on size, availability and area. If you want a drop door, be sure to tell us when ordering your skip.

Having a skip which has a drop door is mainly useful when hiring a large builder’s skip, as it allows you to wheelbarrow rubbish directly into the skip. This isn’t so important for midi and mini skips, because they are small enough at the edges for you to be able to tip waste over the edge.

This is one of the most frequent questions people have about our skip hire service. The most important thing to consider is that you may fill up your skip with a variety of different materials. After all, there are many types of rubbish that may result from garden work, building work and property clearances.

Among the most frequent things that we see in skips include soil, timber, bush trimmings, cabinets, sinks, and other household items.

There are some things that you are not allowed to throw in your skip. This can include any electrical goods (tumble dryers, TVs and laptops for example), old tyres, asbestos, plasterboard and paint. They are all considered hazardous waste, and therefore getting rid of them needs to abide by a completely different procedure to make sure they don’t result in harm to the environment.

Electronic items like television sets, freezers, fridges, computer systems, monitors and hoovers are classed as a hazardous waste type and therefore should not be placed in your skip with other waste. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013 requires that electric powered items need to be segregated from other materials. This ensures they can be recycled and disposed of within the safest and most environmentally friendly manner.

Our normal hire period will be 2 weeks from the date of delivery. However, at the time you order the skip, you can provide a collection date that will work for you. Of course, there is a chance that you simply won’t know how long your project will take. Therefore, if the skip is finished with sooner than expected, tell us, and we will collect it as soon as possible.

Collections will normally be made within 48 hours. Nevertheless, it is important to understand that this is not always the case at busy periods. Once collected, the skip will be transported to your local waste recycling centre, where it will be processed and sorted.

This will depend on the skip size you will need and if you need a council permit. As you would expect, the smallest skip (the 2 cubic yard mini skip) will be the least expensive option. The most costly and largest option is the 40 cubic yard roll-on roll-off container, which is used mainly in industrial settings.

It is vital to not overfill your skip. You should not pass the level load line indicated on the side of the skip. When the skip is overloaded, it will become very hazardous to transport. Which means that when you overload your skip, you may be required to remove the surplus waste. However safe you think the skip is, it can not be collected if overloaded. This includes using old doors or other large flat pieces to build up around the rubbish. That is hazardous and is therefore not allowed.

This is the easy part. First, select the size of skip you wish to hire. Let us know if the skip shall be going on your own property (a driveway, for example) or on local authority property (like the road). Next, choose the day you need your skip to get delivered.

When it comes to ordering a skip in Walkden, you have multiple sizes to choose from, which range from 2 to 40 cubic yards in capacity.

The 2 yard skip, often referred to as the mini skip, will be the smallest choice available. This compact container is excellent for modest domestic clearances and DIY work.

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

After the midi comes the builder’s skips, which are available in either 6 or 8 cubic yards. These are the most frequent sizes ordered, as builders and tradespeople frequently use them. However their substantial capacity also means they are perfect for house tidy ups involving bulky items like household furniture and beds.

We can supply 10, 12, 14 and 16 cubic yard skips for people with even bigger rubbish disposal requirements. These sizes are only suited to light waste, so they can’t be used to dispose of garden soil or concrete.

Generally, it will be possible to have a skip placed on the road, pavement or grass verge outside of your home or business. But in order to do this, you need to have permission from the local council in Walkden, which is known as a skip permit. We will arrange this for you, so you don’t have to worry. The local authority will charge a fee for the license, and it can sometimes take 24-48 hrs for them to authorise this.

If you are searching for a low-cost skip to get rid of some household rubbish, the mini skip could be just the thing you need. With a choice of either a 2 or 3 cubic yard capacity (based upon your location), the mini skip is a cost-effective waste disposal choice to deal with numerous jobs.

A mini skip can fit on the smallest of drives but can also be situated on the side of the street, subject to receiving a skip permit.

Although most often hired by household customers, the mini skip can even tackle small commercial jobs.
