Planning a home project in Stockport
A skip is most useful when it arrives just before the waste starts building up. For a kitchen or bathroom refit, agree the strip-out date with your fitter first, then choose a delivery date that leaves enough time to load. Keep the skip position separate from the space needed for incoming units, tools and materials.
SK1, SK2, SK3, SK4 and SK5 are the Stockport districts listed for online booking. Use the complete address postcode, rather than just choosing the closest town. A shared driveway, restricted entrance or awkward turning space can change what is practical, even within the same district.
One room, several kinds of waste
Old cabinets, packaging and offcuts fill a skip differently from tiles, rubble and soil. Make a list of what the job will produce before choosing by volume alone. A 2 yard mini suits smaller jobs; a 4 yard midi gives more room; the 6 and 8 yard skips are for larger quantities of lighter material. If your refit includes heavy waste, check the load with Chris.
Making space on delivery day
Move cars before the vehicle arrives and keep the whole approach clear. The delivery vehicle needs room to manoeuvre as well as access through the gate. If the skip will sit on a shared drive, agree its position with everyone who uses it and make sure vehicles can still get where they need to go.
