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.

• Skip Hire Alternative: Hiring a skip in Preston can be a logistical nightmare, especially with the city’s complex one-way systems and the tight terraced streets of Plungington. Therefore, we offer a “Wait & Load” service that requires no expensive council permits and doesn’t block the road.
• We Sweep Up: Unlike a skip where you are left with a dirty patch on your driveway, our teams also sweep the area clean once the garage is empty leaving your space broom clean and ready to use immediately.
• Emergency Same Day Response: If you are moving house or need the space urgently, we can also often arrange a collection within 24 hours. Consequently, we act as an emergency service for waste, helping you clear the backlog quickly.
• Local Crews Who Know the Area: Our drivers are familiar with the local routes, from the busy A6 to the narrow residential lanes near Deepdale. Therefore, we arrive on time and load efficiently without disrupting your neighbours.

• Garage Clearance in Fulwood: We cleared a double garage full of old furniture and boxes for a client moving home. Additionally, our team used a “Wait & Load” approach to avoid blocking the shared driveway.
• Student Waste Removal in Plungington: Cleared piles of black bags and broken desks from a rear garage/yard area. The narrow terraced street made skips impossible, however, our van accessed the rear alley easily.
• Commercial Storage Clear out near Preston Docks: Removed shelving, pallets and packaging waste from a business unit. The client received a VAT invoice and full compliance paperwork immediately.
We cover the entire city of Preston and the immediate surrounding districts, including:
Q: Do you take bagged soil, rubble and bricks?
A: Yes. Unlike many council collections, we are happy to take heavy inert waste like bagged soil and rubble. Moreover, we charge by weight/volume and do all the shovelling for you.
Q: Do you dismantle shelving or workbenches?
A: Yes. If you have built-in shelving or old workbenches that need removing, our team also carries the tools to dismantle them safely as part of the service.
Q: Will you clean up the mess afterwards?
A: Absolutely. We pride ourselves on our “We Sweep Up” promise. We won’t just leave a dusty floor; we will sweep the garage out so it is ready for you to park your car or start your new project.
Q: Do I need a skip permit for Preston?
A: Only if you hire a skip that needs to sit on the road. Preston City Council requires permits for this, which can be costly and slow to arrange. Our service uses a mobile van, so we load your waste immediately and drive away, no permit needed.
Q: Will the local tip at Tom Benson Way take my DIY waste?
A: The recycling centre at Tom Benson Way (Ingol) operates a strict appointment system. Furthermore, they often have strict limits or bans on construction waste and soil. We also take everything in one go, saving you multiple trips and booking headaches.
Q: Can you collect from properties with difficult access in Preston?
A: Yes. We know that areas like Plungington have tight terraced grids and high parking density. Our vans are more manoeuvrable than large skip lorries and we can usually get close enough to load quickly without causing an obstruction.
