Grab Hire vs Skip Hire

Grab Hire vs Skip Hire

If you’re thinking of taking on some renovations or starting a clear out, then you’ll need to decide on a waste disposal solution for removing the resulting waste from your home.

Planning proper waste management is an important component of any job, and choosing the right solution will make disposing of your waste appropriately a straightforward experience.

When it comes to waste disposal for domestic, or small commercial projects, skip hire might be the obvious solution, however, here at DP Skip Hire we offer a second waste removal solution that is well worth considering too- grab hire!

Grab Hire From DP Skip Hire

Grab lorries are specialist trucks, which are used to pick up, or grab, waste and clear it away. Grab lorries feature a hydraulic arm equipped with a bucket attachment, which can scoop up waste from even hard to reach areas, and load it into the back of the lorry so that the waste can be taken to a waste management or recycling facility to be processed.

Our grab hire services are suitable for the removal of a wide range of waste materials including soil, rubble, hardcore, bricks, garden waste, and general non-hazardous waste, and our grab lorries can reach up to 8 meters, so they’re perfect for removing waste from fenced or walled areas.

Grab Hire VS Skip Hire

Skip hire is a fantastic option for the removal of waste, however, if you have particularly large items you wish to dispose of, or lack the appropriate space required for a skip, then grab hire can be an excellent option too.

Our grab lorries can park in front of your property for a short period of time, without the requirement of a permit, and are extremely agile, allowing them to collect waste from difficult to reach areas. A grab lorry is also an excellent way to drop off materials too, so our grab lorries can be used to bring materials to your site, and then to take away waste- two birds with one stone!

Find out more about our grab hire services, alternatively, if you’re thinking of hiring a skip you can do so through our online booking form.

If you’re in a pinch we can even offer next day delivery! For more information, or if you have any other questions about skip hire, please contact us and speak to our team. The DP Skip Hire offices operate 7 days a week for your convenience, and we’re only a phone call away!

Complete and utter waste of time. Called on the supposed day of delivery at 10am as skip had not yet arrived, nor had I had any communication since booking online. Each person I spoke to simply didn't have a clue as to what was going on, didn't have my name, address or number, couldn't find my booking (despite taking payment) and that I'd have to wait for the Transport Manager after making 3 calls. I'd booked the skip days in advance and booked a day off work to complete a project. Finally after 3 calls, they'd located said skip but couldn't give me a time of delivery, stating "some time in the afternoon". I duly cancelled, called around other businesses and had a skip delivered within the hour. Won't be using again.

I booked a skip on a Sunday for next-day delivery which was a bank holiday. I received an email from Jon immediately after booking letting me know that it might be a couple of days later owing to the impact of Covid-19 which was totally understandable. The skip still arrived on the bank holiday which was hugely appreciated and we're awaiting collection now. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again, excellent service.

Been using these guys a lot for our farm, they always answer the phone promptly, they call in advance if requested, the drivers are polite and helpful and their pricing is better than other companies in the area. This is how you run a business.

07.01 and the skip truck comes up the street on a weekend, no consideration from the driver whilst loading revving the old diesel truck unnecessarily high waking literally everybody up in the street... Might of taken the driver and extra minute or two without the revs being so high, but no if he's up were all up!

Used them a few times now:Skips: Dropped off an hour after booking late on a Friday. Picked up first thing Monday morning. Their top soil is a BARGAIN! And extremely good quality. Aggregates:- slightly pricier than others, but with the free delivery, even on a single bag, this makes up for it and is probably why. (Others want 15quid to deliver)All in all, I personally can't really fault them!
