Fast Answers
How is this different from a skip?
No permit, no waiting days for delivery and collection, and no risk of other people dumping in it. You load, we take it straight away.
Do I do the loading myself?
Yes — you load at your own pace while our driver waits, which is what keeps the price down versus a full-service clearance.
How is it priced?
Per van-load, agreed upfront — quarter, half or full load — not by the hour.
Can I get help lifting heavier items?
Yes, our driver can help with heavier or bulkier items if needed — just ask on the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the van wait while I load?
Typically up to an hour is included for a standard load — let us know if you think you'll need longer.
Is this cheaper than a skip?
Often yes once you account for permit fees and hire duration, and there's no risk of others dumping in it.
What can't I put in the van?
Hazardous materials like asbestos or gas canisters aren't accepted — ask us when you book if you're unsure.
Can I book a specific time slot?
Yes, we'll agree an arrival window with you when you book, including same-day where available.
What if I don't fill the whole van?
You're only charged for the load size you actually fill, agreed on the day.
