Report
Delivered skip on Tuesday filled Tuesday rang them up to pick the skip up the same day. After ringing 4 times during the week saying it needs to be removed. Because people are throwing stuff in it and it is full. Thay Came and picked it up a week late. And left Rubbish in my garden and refused to take it .
Saying because I had put window frames up at ithe side of the skip I had all intentions of overfilling it.

Apparently they don't do Colne.. even though their website says they do. The person I spoke to on the phone was as useful as a wet paper bag.

Dreadful - do not use. They said I could have the skip for 2 weeks but collected after 5 days without even asking me. They argued they had done nothing wrong and would not return the skip or give me a partial refund. Fuming as I has paid upfront so could not do anything about it! Very argumentative man that I had to deal with too. Stressful experience.. would definitely not use this company again.

Very satisfied, I was a bit wary given some of the other reviews but they picked up the phone when I rang up (which I did once to order the skip and once to ask them to pick it up once we'd filled it). The guy was easy to communicate with on the phone and the skip got delivered when they said it would, it also got picked up a day or two after I rang back to say we were done, so no problems there.. so all in all it was very straightforward and everything happened as they said it would
