What Stornoway Homeowners Say About Our Skip hire Specialists
12-yard maxi skip on the verge at our Stornoway home for a garden clearance. Bagged green waste and old fence panels lifted by the crew at no extra charge. Cost £387 including the council permit. Cone-and-light kit supplied for the road-side position - all signed off by the highways inspector.
Three skip-hire quotes for our Stornoway project lined up via BestBuilders. Difference between cheapest and middle was only £18 - paid the middle for the recycling rate. Total £308 for the 8-yard heavy-waste. Same-day permit arranged with the council.
Repeat hire of the same skip firm in Stornoway six weeks later for the back-garden clear-out. They remembered the access constraints - parked precisely as last time without needing the cones reset. Total £279 for the 8-yard. No surcharge applied for the prohibited-items audit at the depot.
