Why Our Customers Recommend Us
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you deliver skips to Hackney?
Yes, we provide skip delivery across Hackney and surrounding East London areas, including Dalston, Clapton, Homerton, Stoke Newington and Hackney Central.
Which skip size is right for my project in Hackney?
It depends on the type and volume of waste. Our team can advise you on the most suitable skip size for your project when you book.
Do I need a permit to hire a skip in Hackney?
A permit is required if the skip is placed on a public road or highway. If it is on private land such as a driveway, no permit is needed.
How long can I keep the skip?
We offer flexible hire periods to suit the pace of your project. A standard hire period is agreed at booking and extended periods can be arranged on request. If your skip is on a public road, the permit must remain valid throughout the hire period, so longer placements on public land may involve permit renewal costs. Contact us when booking to discuss the hire period that works best for your Berkhamsted project.
How full can I fill the skip?
Skips must be filled level with the top rim of the container and no higher. Overfilling is a legal requirement as well as a safety matter, and our drivers cannot collect and transport an overfilled skip. If you find your skip fills up before the project is complete, get in touch and we can arrange an additional collection and replacement or discuss upgrading to a larger size.
Can the skip be moved once it has been delivered?
No. Once the skip has been positioned by our delivery team, it should remain in place. Attempting to move a loaded skip without specialist equipment risks damage to your surface and is a safety hazard. If you need the skip repositioned for any reason, contact us and we will arrange for our team to carry out the move safely.
What happens to the waste after collection?
All waste is taken to licensed facilities where it is sorted, recycled, or responsibly disposed of, with a strong focus on reducing landfill.
