Domestic Grab Hire in Dorset

You do not need to be a builder to book a grab lorry. Quick Skips works for homeowners as well as the trade, usually on the kind of project that produces more waste than anyone expected: digging out a driveway, levelling a garden, knocking down an old garage or taking up a patio.

The lorry normally stays on the road. The operator reaches over your wall or hedge with the grab arm, loads the pile and drives away. You are not left with a skip outside the house, and you do not spend the weekend filling one.

When a grab lorry beats a skip at home

• You have a large amount of heavy waste such as soil, clay, rubble or concrete
• There is nowhere sensible to stand a skip, or it would have to go on the road
• You would rather not load tonnes of material by hand
• The waste is already in a pile near the front of the property
• You want it gone in one visit, not sitting outside for a fortnight

Getting ready for collection

1. Pile it near the road

   Stack the waste in one heap, as close to where the lorry can park as you can, and keep it on your own property.

2. Keep it loose

   Loose material loads quickest. Leave out bags, long lengths of timber and anything wrapped in wire or fencing.

3. Clear the space

   Move cars away from the pile and the kerb, and check for cables or branches overhead.

4. Tell us what is in it

   Soil, rubble and garden waste are all fine. Asbestos is not, and we need to know about anything else unusual.

Got less than a lorry load?

A grab lorry is the right tool for big, heavy piles. For a bathroom refit, a shed clear-out or a few barrow loads of soil, you will probably be better off with a skip or a grab bag. Quick Skips supplies both, along with a man with a van service, through its main website at quickskips.co.uk.
