Friendly, professional and quick service! Tom and Barry were great calling me half an hour before arriving, and observed all social distancing regulations etc, and Richard was very helpful on the phone fitting me in same day. Overall very satisfied and would recommend.
GraceyAbsolutely brilliant! The two lads were quick and efficient with big smiles on their faces, despite the cold. Twenty four hours from the initial enquiry, the job was completed. That’s proper service.
GrahamThey did an excellent job and cleared my Mums flat quickly. I would recommend them to everyone and I would use them again. My mum had recently passed away so it was a difficult time but they were also understanding of the circumstances.

Choosing our team provides a seamless skip hire alternative that is perfectly suited to the local landscape. Burnley is famous for its stone built terraces and iconic cobbled back streets, which often present a major hurdle for traditional skip lorries. Because these narrow access points make dropping a skip dangerous or impossible, our “Wait and Load” service is the ideal solution for residents in the terraced grid systems near the town centre.
We provide a complete service where we do all the heavy lifting for you. Unlike Burnley Council, which charges for “non-standard” items and often has long waiting lists, we can arrive within 24 hours to clear your space. We are also committed to fly tipping prevention, ensuring every load is tracked and managed through licensed transfer stations. Therefore, once the clearance is complete, we sweep the area to remove dust and debris, leaving your garage spotlessly clean and ready to use.

1. Get a Quote: Give us a call or WhatsApp a photo of your garage to 07802 860 731. We provide a free quote based on the volume and weight of the waste.
2. Clearance: Our two-man team arrives in Burnley during a specific window and carries out all the loading. We navigate narrow lanes and tight spaces with ease.
3. Sweep Up: Once the garage is empty, we sweep the floor to remove any leftover dust, cobwebs or grit.
4. Disposal: You receive a digital Waste Transfer Note instantly, confirming your legal duty of care has been met and the waste is destined for a licensed facility.
• Single Item: Perfect for a standalone fridge or a bulky sofa. Prices start from £80+VAT.
• Quarter Van Load: Ideal for clearing out a small corner of a garage or about 20-30 bin bags of rubbish.
• Half Van Load: Equivalent to a standard 6-yard builders skip. This is the great for a standard garage clear out.
• Full Van Load: Massive 14-cubic yard capacity. Suitable for a garage that is packed from floor to ceiling or contains heavy construction waste.
You only pay for the space you fill in our vehicle, making this a much more cost effective option than paying for a skip that might sit half empty on your street.

• Garage Clearance in Padiham: We cleared a decade’s worth of accumulated household junk from a stone garage. We used our Wait and Load method to avoid blocking the narrow cobbled back street.
• Rental Turnover near Turf Moor: A landlord needed a garage cleared of furniture and DIY debris. We provided same day removal, allowing new tenants to move in without delay.
• Renovation Recovery near Towneley Hall: We cleared heavy inert waste, including bricks and old tiles, to prepare the garage for conversion into a home gym. Our team handled all the heavy lifting to protect the newly paved driveway.
We provide comprehensive coverage across Burnley and the surrounding districts, including:
Q: Do you take heavy items like bricks and rubble?
A: Yes. We handle inert waste including bagged soil, bricks and tiles. Because we charge by weight and volume, you only pay for exactly what we take. This is often far cheaper than a skip which has strict weight limits for heavy materials.
Q: Do you dismantle old shelving or workbenches?
A: Yes. Part of our garage clearance service includes the dismantling of wooden structures, shelving units or old benches that are too large to move in one piece.
Q: Will you clean up the mess afterwards?
A: Absolutely. One of our core promises is that we sweep up at the end of every job. We leave your garage floor clear of dust and debris, so the space is ready for immediate use.
Q: Do I need a skip permit for my street in Burnley?
A: Only if you choose a skip. Because Burnley has a dense terraced grid system, skip permits are often required for on-road placement. Instead, we load your waste onto our van and leave straight away, so you avoid permit costs and delays.
Q: Will Burnley Council take my old DIY or garden waste?
A: Generally, no. Burnley Council has strict rules on what they will collect, often refusing construction waste like plasterboard or soil. They also charge for “non-standard” items. We take everything in one go, including the items the council rejects.
Q: Can I take my own garage waste to the Balderstone Lane tip?
A: You can, but the Balderstone Lane Recycling Centre is a small site that is notoriously tricky for larger vehicles to access. They also have strict “Van Permit” schemes in place. If you don’t have a permit or the right vehicle, our service is the faster, hassle-free alternative.
