DISCLAIMER;

-The price of a skip covers hire for up to 2 weeks. Collection date is flexible. You can either specify when you want the skip collected at the time of hire, or request a collection later once you know a bit more.

-At Leicestershire Skip Hire Ltd, we do our best to minimise damage to driveways and have an experienced, professional team for the job at hand. Our business has a high customer satisfaction rate, and provides a stress-free service for all of our customers. However, we do recommend that all of our customers place down boards for the skip to be placed onto, especially if we are working with soft tarmac or resin driveways. These types of driveways have a higher risk of damage due to their characteristics. All our customers should be aware that we don’t accept damage to driveways due to the nature of work, and do not provide the service of putting down boards to sit beneath the skip.

-If for any reason we can not deliver a booked skip, example; a locked gate etc, there will be an added extra charge for our drivers time & fuel. This also applies if you have booked a skip collection and our skip is blocked in so we can not collect. In short, please make sure if you are booking a skip you have everything prepared for the day of delivery/collection.
