If you have a lot of rubbish that you need clearing out from a building, then you are probably considering hiring a skip. Hiring a skip is essential because it can make your life so much easier when you are trying to get rid of a lot of waste in one go.
You are able to stay organised and keep the site tidy when you are using a skip, and most skip companies will recycle the waste as well, which means that you also getting an environmentally friendly solution.
When you're choosing your skip, you probably will find that there are a lot of companies who are able to offer you skips of different sizes and for different requirements. It can actually be very daunting when you are trying to hire a skip because you obviously want to find a reliable service and you may not be sure how to figure out the good companies from the bad.
One first thing you can do when you are choosing to hire a skip company is to go on a recommendation. You may be able to find testimonials or recommendations on a supplier's website, which is a good way of finding a professional company.
Cheadle Skips will be able to speak to you about your requirements for your skip. You may not necessarily know the size of the skip that you want or where you are allowed to put it. The advisers here are friendly and very helpful when it comes to choosing a skip that matches your requirements.
You also need to find a company that is good value for money. We offer competitive skip hire prices in the South Manchester area including Hale, Altrincham, Wythenshawe, Macclesfield, Stockport and Poynton.
You will want to choose a company that has been regulated. Many bad skip hire companies will not have been regulated, however, professional and reputable skip hire companies like us will be registered with the council and these will be recommended by local companies too.
Cheadle Skips can offer skip hire services which are professional and reliable in the Hale area. Working since 1987, they can cover all of your skip hire needs at great prices. Call 0161 476 3103 for more details.
The volume of our skips is measured in cubic yards as follows, Mini - 2, Midi - 4, Small Maxi - 6, Large Maxi - 8.
1 cubic yard holds approximately 765 litres or around 10 average bin bags.
Unlike some other skip hire companies, who supply maxi skips that are 6 or 7 cubic yards, our skips are true to size.
The size you need also depends on how much you break down your waste and pack it into the skip, such as bulky furniture etc… But remember all skips no matter the size must be filled level with the sides. We are unable to collect overfull skips due to the waste not being contained within the skip and deemed as a dangerous load when driven down the road.
Access can also determine the skip size you need. We operate 3 different sizes of skip trucks (3.5, 7.5 and 18 tonne gross vehicle weight). If you have a tight driveway and have heavy material to dispose of (such as bricks or soil), you will need to hire a smaller skip so our smaller trucks can lift the full skip. Please contact us for advice.
Skips at our standard hire rates are for general and inert waste such as soil, rubble, garden waste, packaging, wood, old furniture etc. Any waste on the list below has restrictions or cannot be placed in a standard rate skip. If you do produce any of the following waste please call 0161 476 3103 to arrange a quotation or to ask for advice.
We operate a large fleet of well maintained skips, this allows us to offer a hire period of up to 28 days. This may be reduced during peak periods and although our terms and conditions state a 7 day hire period, it very rarely gets as low as this. Please contact us to find our current hire periods at time of booking.
We are registered and maintain good relationships with all local authorities and can apply for permits on your behalf. We do not put a mark up on permits, meaning we don’t charge VAT.
Different local authorities have different charges and are from 7 to 28 days. Similarly some require 48 hours notice and others can provide permits same day. Please contact us to find the permit arrangements for your local area.
You can book and pay for your skip easily at any time, using our online booking system. We adjust our availability in real time, process your booking and send confirmation within 30 minutes during working hours, giving you the confidence we’ll deliver.
We use the waste type you select primarily to gauge the weight and determine what size truck to send for collection.
If you know confidently you will be finished with your skip on a specific date, select a collection date. If you are unsure or will need an exchange, don’t put a collection date and give us a call or email requesting collection or exchange. We will collect your skip within 72 hours, but usually next day or even same day from the request (subject to availability).
We can take orders from new and existing customers over the phone or by email and accept card payments over the phone or cash paid to the driver ON DELIVERY.
(as long as access is clear). If payment has been made prior to delivery, you can give us instructions on skip placement and our driver will drop the skip with nobody on site.
If the skip is level filled and doesn’t contain any incorrect waste, our driver will collect the skip with nobody on site (as long as access is clear).
