Great service. I visited my son at his new hone in Southampton and realised we needed a skip ASAP for the garden make over. I phoned Southampton skip hire on Friday morning and had a skip expertly place on his drive by Friday afternoon. Top job and very impressed.

Used this skip company when helping some friends renovate a house and garden. Had 7 skips in all. They were all exchanged as and when needed and placed as close to the property as humanly possible. Very polite and helpful and would recommend to anyone.

After reading the bad reviews (after i had paid for the skip) i was nervous about the experience i would have however it couldn't have been better. Dropped it off promptly on the day or booking and collected it the day after i called them to tell them it was full. Great service, would use again.
