Are you planning a DIY project in Preston? Skip hire is a fantastic alternative to transporting waste to the local tip in the boot of your car, however, you need to work out how long the job will take you to complete to ensure you get the most out of skip hire in Preston.
The scale of your project will have a huge impact on the length of time you need to hire a skip for. Huge renovations will take longer to complete and generate more waste than domestic clear-outs. So, estimate the duration of your project and add an extra day or two to cover unforeseen problems.
How long can you hire a skip for?
Most reputable skip hire companies, like Skips Preston, provide skip hire in Preston for 2 weeks, but it’s always worth double-checking with them beforehand.
Some provide flexible hire periods, allowing you to keep the skip for as long as you need and arrange collection as soon as the skip’s full (be it in a few days or 4 weeks later!) But be mindful that with the luxury of no deadlines, unlimited skip hire in Preston often comes with a hefty price tag – meaning you could end up paying more in the long run.
What happens if you need the skip for longer than 2 weeks?
If you expect your project to take a significant amount of time to complete, mention it to the skip company when you make your booking and they’ll prolong the duration of your hire for an extra fee.
In letting them know, they can arrange skip hire in Preston around what works best for you – allowing you to dispose of waste as soon as it’s generated. You’ll also need to extend the permit for your skip if it’s left on the road which could add to the overall sum of skip hire in Preston.
When will the skip be collected?
Generally, skip companies collect skips within a couple of days of the request. So, if you need the skip to be collected by a certain date, make sure you give them plenty of notice.
If you know exactly how long you need the skip for, why not schedule collection when you book? This way, all you need to worry about is loading the skip with waste and leave the rest to the skip company.
