"Didn't even get a skip because they…"

Didn't even get a skip because they didn't want to put it outside my house never again

"DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY"

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! I wrongly thought this was a local company but they're just a broker. Did not collect skip same day as agreed instead came following day and charged £100 because someone parked on the opposite side of the road to my house and couldn't collect. Local provider whose skip it was said this is only £50 when dealing direct. Staff are appalling, unprofessional and unhelpful. CHOOSE ANY OTHER COMPANY AHEAD OF THIS ONE

"DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!"

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!
Ordered a skip for Thursday. Rang to find out why it had not arrived. Apparently their truck had broken down but it would be delivered Friday. Now Friday 3 o'clock. Just rang to find out why no skip yet again only to be told it now can't be delivered due to "technical problems" in our area. Bunch of useless and incompetent liars. Just wish there was someway I could get recompense for my wasted time (I took time off work to do some work round my home). Just ordered a skip from another company (Crown Skip Hire) and it was cheaper!!!! 80 plus percent of bad reviews cant be wrong. Avoid like Covid!!!!

"I'd pay ANOTHER Skip hire Company more for peace of mind"

I'm a surveyor of a large housing company and I wouldn't give this company one star it is only because I couldn't write a review unless l clicked on one star.
I would never recommend this company to anyone. The attitude and service are so poor I am surprised they are still in business. I could write a war and peace on the atrocious service that's been offered; All I would say is it I am now having to deal with a notice from the local authority environmental health, as the company failed to collect their skip for 11 weeks resulting in rodents affecting the local residents.

"AVOID AT ALL COSTS"

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I wrongly thought this was a local company due to 01902 number. It’s not. It’s actually a broker, part of a larger company called Circle Group. They take orders and hire from other local companies like Blitz Skips. When I called they offered me a price. When I said I was shopping around they offered a better price if I placed the order with them that day. I did. The skip didn’t arrive on the day it should have done. When I called to ask why (this was late afternoon), I was told it had been delayed due to hot weather on previous days and would be with me next day. I was ok with that as I had covid and would struggle to fill it. It arrived on the Thursday. They turned up the following week to collect it (it was a 2 week hire). I was still ill with covid and told the driver I’d only had it a few days. The skip was due for collection on Thursday 4th August; they turned up at 6.50am on 3rd. So I didn’t even have the skip that arrived a day late for the full 2 weeks. This company seems very professional at first but they are not. I will never use them again and urge people to check out companies before you order. Make sure you’re not buying through a third party. I could not be angrier than I am with this company

"Awful & rude company"

Awful & rude company. Hard to find terms & conditions. Incompetent staff. £125 because of difficult access. I’m disappointed I didn’t read their reviews first. Lesson learnt.

"Avoid!!!"

I have ordered rubbish collection from this this firm last week.charged £400 for 14 yarder for next day pickup and agreed to take the full van load.
They’ve just taken 15-20 bin bags for whole 14 yarder van.also bluntly refused the refund request.please avoid these scammers and use legitimate firm.

"Avoid Avoid Avoid"

Only giving 1 star as I have no choice, they don't even deserve that!
Ordered a skip Friday to be told if they couldn't get it there then it would be Monday, all good, I changed my order to an 8yrd skip 1st thing Monday and was told it would arrive in a few hours.... fast forward to Wednesday and a ton of calls later I still had no skip. Eventually it arrived but they had sent a 4yrd skip instead of the 8yrd one I ordered. Beyond incompetant and seriously lacking in customer service,they are a middle man company with no actual skips of there own.
Asked for a refund which will take 5 days, and had to pay out to another skip company who delivered a skip within 2 hours...NOW THATS HOW ITS DONE!!
Avoid this useless company.

"Excellent service"

Excellent service, after booking a skip, I then found several bad reviews and braced myself for what might happen.

We called on a bank holiday and booked the skip for Thurs afternoon drop off. Very competitive price. Very polite and friendly service (Megan).

The skip arrived around 3pm, excellent driver, placed the skip where requested.

We pre booked collection for Monday and the skip was collected by 10am Monday morning.

I would use again and I’m sure reviews on here are the few bad experiences, seems we never like to review after a positive experience!

5 star from me!

"Bad business.signed and paid for skip…"

Bad business.signed and paid for skip to arrive 14th April. Advised to arrive about9am. By 11am had no and rang company. Had my order but told they would have to ring back but immediately. Half hour later,nothing,so l rang them only to be told that they would not be supplying my skip and had nothing else as it had been double booked. Contract a load of nonsense and although they would give me back my money,still have not so l am going through my bank now as fraud. They had no intention of letting me know that they could not supply a skip but took my money readily enough. Absolutely abysmal business.
