Very poor communication, their email phone number is not connected and their original number has you on hold for 5 min then is answered only to hang up on you strait away. No time was has been given for when the skip would be collected. I am a returning customer that will not be back again.

Brilliantly efficient. Ordered Thursday afternoon, skip delivered early next morning. 10/10 for the driver to place exactly where I wanted it on my drive despite it being a tricky manoeuvre. It was like he was docking the Starship Enterprise, apart from the fact he was wearing shorts. Great stuff.

I needed a 6yd skip to be dropped and loaded whilst the driver waited to avoid paying the on road permit. The driver helped me load the waste which was unexpected and very much appreciated, he asked me to mention his name which Im happy to do and it was Ali. Fantastic service from Bateman and great comms.

Absolutely awful service. Booked a skip a week in advance. Arranged for myself and staff to be on site to meet the driver to ensure it was put in the right place and to fill it. Chased at 2pm to see when arriving to be told the driver had run out of time so could not deliver. I'm sorry, but you know how may skips you are collecting and delivering each day so surely you arrange appropriate staffing levels. Surely if you have a driver over time, you arrange for another to deliver it. They offered to deliver at 6am tomorrow morning which is of absolutely no use to me. This is the 2nd time they have

Never given a 1 star review for anything but, regretfully, Bateman skips deserves it. Delivered an 8yd skip when I ordered a 12yd. Denied it despite me sending dimensions. Eventually said it was a 10yd despite the maths not adding up. Offered a very small refund, but refused to deliver correct size. I couldn't complete the job, and didn't have the hands to help at the right time. Being generous I'd say they are incompetent, if not dishonest as well. Any company happy to charge for a service they do not provide, and then to lie about it, does not deserve your custom.
