Which service should I choose — cage van or skip?+
Choose the cage van when you want prepared waste collected from your driveway and collection in one visit, with no container left outside. Choose a skip when you need several days to fill it. Send photos and your postcode if you are unsure.
How do I get a quote?+
Send clear photos, your postcode, the waste type and your preferred date or time by WhatsApp. We will confirm the most suitable service and price before you book.
What skip sizes do you offer?+
We offer 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 yard skips, plus 20 and 40 yard RORO containers. Heavy soil, rubble and concrete normally go only in 6 or 8 yard skips; larger skips are for lighter bulky waste.
How long can I keep a skip and do I need a permit?+
Standard hire is up to four weeks. A skip placed on a public road normally needs a council permit; a skip kept entirely on private land usually does not. We can advise and arrange permits where available.
Who loads the waste and what access does the lorry need?+
Cage Van loading is the customer’s responsibility. Our team assists with loading but does not load on the customer’s behalf. All waste must be prepared on the driveway before arrival. A standard skip is customer-loaded and must remain level-loaded. Skip lorries need approximately 3 metres of clear width, firm level ground and safe overhead clearance.
What waste cannot go in a standard collection?+
Standard loads cannot contain asbestos, gas cylinders, paint or liquids, oils, batteries, medical or hazardous waste, tyres or fluorescent tubes. Fridges, freezers, mattresses and upholstered seating must be agreed in advance and may cost extra.
Do you offer same-day or weekend collection?+
Same-day cage van collection can be available depending on postcode, access and capacity. Saturday slots may be available; SKIPMAN does not operate on Sundays.
Is SKIPMAN registered and licensed?+
Yes. SKIPMAN Environmental Management Ltd is company number 13790526 and is registered with the Environment Agency as an Upper Tier Broker and Dealer under CBDU416811. Our skip, grab and RORO services are arranged through trusted licensed partners.
What payment methods do you accept?+
We accept debit or credit card payments over the phone, BACS bank transfer and secure payment links sent by email, text or WhatsApp. Payment is required in advance unless a credit account has been agreed. Cash is not accepted.
