Domestic Skip Hire in LiverpoolThere are many great reasons for hiring a skip for domestic use, and the work being carried can vary in scale significantly meaning you need a different size skip for different jobs. This is the areas we specialise if, ensuring you have the right skip to fit the job and making the stress of DIY or having building work done more bearable by taking care of one of the components that goes into a home renovation project. Bathroom and kitchen renovations are one of the most common renovations done on a home as these are the two rooms where people have the most varied taste in furnishings.
|
To find out why, just ask a group of 10 friends to choose their favourite tile out of a catalogue and see how the results vary. Often when people move into a new home, they want to put their own stamp on the place and the kitchen and bathroom are the perfect way to do this. Another renovation that is growing in popularity in the UK due to the high cost involved with moving or up sizing in property, is a loft conversion.
Typically, on a larger scale this type of renovation will produce more waste as beams, plaster, brickwork and roof tiles will all be removed from the loft to make space. When it comes to the garden there are also plenty of jobs that create a lot of waste, whether it is a full landscaping job or a smaller garden makeover, jobs such as relaying a patio, knocking down old sheds, or replacing the turf will all generate heavy waste and soil that are difficult to move, making a skip the ideal companion for this work, where you can simply dump all the waste inside and let us do the heavy lifting for your to recycle it all.

What Can you Put in a Skip?
When it comes to what you can put in a skip there are quite a few restrictions that you should be aware of. At Liverpool Skip Hire we care about the environment and as such we stick to the policies and guidelines of what materials can and cannot be discarded in general waste.
Most materials that are produced as part of general clean-up around the house and property such as soil, cement, bricks, plasterboard, wood and green waste are fine to go into the skip and will be discarded by us in a responsible manner.
Materials of a hazardous nature such as paints, chemicals, fridges and freezers, televisions, solvents and asbestos and food waste cannot go into a regular skip as they require special disposal. If you do have any of these materials that require disposal, you can contact your local council and they will put you in touch with a contact who can dispose of this material for you.

Where Can You Place Your Skip?
If your property is large enough to house the skip then you will not require a permit for a skip and you can place it anywhere on your property. Please bear in mind though that some of the areas you may believe to be part of your property, such as the grass verge or walkway in front of your property may actually belong to the local council and require a permit to place it there. So please check this before you assume that the skip is going to be on your property.
If you do not have space on your land then you can place it on what is defined as a public highway but your will need to obtain a permit for this from the council, in most cases we can apply for this permit on your behalf and simply add the cost of this to your invoice to save you the hassle. Public highways include, the pavement, verge or road in front of your property. The cost of the permit can differ depending which local authority you fall under and we can normally advise you what this cost will be, so give us a call to find out more.
If you live on a private housing estate managed by an estate management company, then you will need to apply for permission from them to place your skip on the estate if it is not directly on your property.

Do I Need a Permit to Hire a Skip?
Great question! You'll only need a permit to hire a skip if you are not able to store the skip on your own property during the duration of your hire period. In some cases it may not be possible to store your own skip, due to space or local governance on your property. In this case, we can assist you with purchasing a skip permit, which will allow you to store your skip on a council owned road or area near your property.
If you believe you'll need a permit, or aren't sure, please feel free to get in touch and we will be able to assist you with this.

Do I Really Need to Hire a Skip?
In many cases, you may be wondering if you actually need to hire a skip at all? Our answer is that it purely depends on how much waste you have to get rid of. You may be tempted to dispose of this waste at your local council dump, but it's worth pointing out that a lot of local dumps will not take building waste or commercial waste.
For this reason, unless you are disposing of day to day household or garden waste, then it may be best for you to hire a skip to take the hassle and worry out of removing this waste yourself. Our team of professionals will dispose of this waste following the correct laws and processes, and for the reasonable price of hiring a skip, you may just save yourself a lot of worry.
You will also find that you have the option of using a 'Man and Van' service, which can be an alternative method to having your waste removed. This process usually involves the collection of your waste, and it useful for those smaller project that don't require long term waste management.
If you have any questions about waste removal, then feel free to give our team a call today to discuss this further.
