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: In affluent areas of Trafford like Hale and Bowdon, many properties also feature high-value resin or block paved driveways. Therefore, heavy steel skips can scratch, crack or sink into these surfaces. However, our “Wait & Load” service uses rubber-tyred vans that are safe for your paving and require no permit fees from Trafford Council.
• We Do The Heavy Lifting: Garage waste is often heavy as well as awkward, consisting of old paint tins, rusted tools and dense boxes. Moreover, unlike a skip where you have to do all the manual labour, our two-man teams carry everything from your garage to our vehicle.
• We Sweep Up: We don’t just clear the junk; we also respect your property. Once the garage is empty, we also sweep the floor thoroughly, leaving the area broom-clean and ready for your car or new storage project.
• Gated Driveway Access: Many homes in Altrincham and Bowdon also have secure gated entries that are too narrow for large skip lorries. However, our agile Luton vans can easily access these properties, allowing us to load right at the garage door.
| Feature | The Rubbish Removers | Skip Hire |
|---|---|---|
| Labour | We Load Everything (You relax) | You Do All The Work (Heavy lifting required) |
| Permits | No Permit Needed (Wait & Load service) | £30-£50 Permit Fee (If on the road) |
| Driveway | Safe (Rubber tyres protect paving) | Risk of Damage (Scratches/Cracks) |
| Speed | Gone in 60 Mins (Immediate removal) | Stuck on drive for weeks (Sight for sore eyes) |
We also clear virtually everything found in a typical garage, workshop or shed:

Old boxes, broken furniture, camping gear as well as seasonal decorations.
Leftover tiles, dried timber, bags of rubble, lawnmowers and also old tools.
Racking, shelving units, old appliances as well as scrap metal.
We can take paint tins (if empty/dry) and car batteries. Please note we cannot accept asbestos or gas bottles.
We have also refined our process to be as simple and stress-free as possible for Trafford residents.
1. Get a Quote: Give us a call on 0161 339 7938 or fill in our contact form. Additionally, you can WhatsApp a photo of your garage to 07802 860 731.
2. Clearance: Our uniformed team arrives in a scheduled slot. We also bring the shovels, brooms and muscle to clear the lot efficiently.
3. Sweep Up: Once the van is loaded, we also sweep the garage floor and driveway, ensuring no screws, dust or debris are left behind.
4. Disposal: You receive a digital Waste Transfer Note instantly. Therefore, this proves your duty of care has been met and your waste has been disposed of legally.
Our pricing is transparent and based on volume as well as weight. Therefore, you only pay for the space you fill, unlike a skip where you pay for fresh air if you don’t fill it.
• Single Item: Prices start from £80+VAT. In other words, this is ideal for removing a single large appliance like a chest freezer or a workbench.
• Quarter Van Load: Roughly 2-3 cubic yards. Equivalent to a small garden tidy-up or clearing a corner of the garage.
• Half Van Load: Roughly 6 cubic yards. Comparable to a standard builders skip. Therefore, this is perfect for a standard single garage clearance.
• Full Van Load: 12-14 cubic yards. Equivalent to two large skips. Suitable for a double garage clear out or a hoard.

Moreover, we are in the borough daily assisting homeowners and businesses. Here are a few examples of our recent work:
• Estate Clearance in Hale: We cleared a double garage full of high-value furniture and boxes. Because we used our “Wait & Load” service, we avoided placing a skip on the customers new resin driveway, protecting the surface from damage.
• Garage & Garden Clear in Sale: A customer needed old decking as well as garage junk removed before a house sale. We also dismantled the rotten wood and cleared the garage contents in one visit, sweeping up afterwards.
• Renovation Clearance in Stretford: We removed leftover construction materials and old kitchen units stored in a garage. Access via the rear alley was tight. However, our vans navigated the space easily where a skip lorry would have failed.
We also provide fast, local coverage across the entire borough of Trafford and immediate surroundings:
Yes, we do. Unlike many man and van services that avoid heavy lifting, we are happy to take heavy inert waste like bagged soil and rubble. Moreover, we charge based on weight and volume, providing a practical solution for the builders waste often found in garages.
Yes. If your garage is full of old racking, workbenches or if you need an old shed removing alongside the garage contents, our team also offers full dismantling as part of the service. We have the tools to strip out fixtures safely.
Absolutely. Our “We Sweep Up” promise is a core part of our service. Therefore, we ensure your garage floor and driveway are swept clean of dust and debris before we leave.
Only if you hire a skip that needs to be placed on the public highway. Trafford Council charges for these permits and they can take time to arrange. Because we load our vans immediately and drive away (“Wait & Load”), you do not need a permit, saving you both time and money.
It can be difficult. The local tips at Woodhouse Lane (Altrincham) and Chester Road (Stretford) are strictly policed. Moreover, they often turn away vans or trailers without prior registration and have strict limits on DIY waste like rubble and plasterboard.
Yes. We know that areas like Hale and Bowdon often have properties with narrow, gated driveways that prevent large HGV skip wagons from entering. However, our vehicles are smaller and more manoeuvrable, allowing us to reverse right up to your garage.
