Hi, Ace Liftaway is everything you want in a skip company - professional, on time and polite. I used to dread skips being delivered from other companies because the other drivers were so often rude and made you feel it was a real hassle. Well done and thank you Ace Liftaway!

5* service , really efficient. I called and asked a million questions to Lauren she answered them all with no hesitation. We then got the skip that same day which was brilliant. I then called today to ask if by chance they could remove it as soon as possible due to a garden delivery coming and Mel was absolute 5* also in helping us get it removed, they came within half hour of speaking to her. All round great customer service! really chuffed thanks again

At 1400 on Wednesday 16th, I phoned Ace for an emergency delivery
of 4 porta loo's due to a burst water main.They had to be on site before the end of the working day. The staff at Ace pulled all the stops out to for fill this requirement for us. The delivery driver phoned when he was leaving for instructions and was also very helpful, polite and professional, a credit to Ace liftaway. A special thanks to Hannah who I believe dealt with the order and provided an unbelievable professional service.
Ace liftaway obviously employ people that care and enjoy working for them. Keep up the good work

We filled 4 hippo bags. Two of the hippo bags were very close to a low wall but the driver very carefully and skillfully manoeuvred and lifted the bags without disturbing anything around them. He then came back and swept up the little bit that had spilled. Also, even though they, like all delivery-based businesses, are swamped with orders, the office clerk was able to give me a firm date on pick-up. All in all, a very pleasant experience dealing with both the front office and the driver.
