It’s not all about skips! Despite the clue in the name, Skip UK doesn’t just offer skip hire. We provide a comprehensive waste management service, which includes a Man and a Van service.
Skip hire vs. Man with a van:
Both services involve disposing of large amounts of waste, but the choice depends on specific requirements. Skips come in various sizes depending on the load amount and type of waste, offering a convenient and centralized waste disposal solution. Skips are usually hired for a couple of weeks, making them ideal for large projects where waste can be accumulated over a longer period.
However, certain projects are better suited to a Man and a Van service. This service is typically chosen for time-constrained projects or when assistance with transportation or moving is required.
Why use a Man with a Van?
- Useful when you need to quickly dispose of a large amount of waste.
- Saves multiple trips to the tip by consolidating all waste into one load.
- Perfect solution for waste collection from isolated or busy areas like city centers, where obtaining skip permits is difficult. A Man with a Van does not need a permit.
- The driver will help you load the waste into the van, saving time and providing assistance for bulky waste that requires two people.
- Ideal for both commercial and domestic customers.
- Available in various sizes, with some vans capable of holding up to 3 tonnes of waste.
- For time-specific projects, this service can usually offer a 2-hour time slot of your choice, so you know when to expect the driver.
