Do You Have The Required Vehicle Access Needed To Hire A Skip?
It is common knowledge that skips are absolutely great for getting rid of rubble or specific kinds of waste that you as a homeowner or business do not want to remove yourself.
So many people use Skips that they have become a common sight in and around private and business properties. Before you order that skip you need when you start your next renovation project you need to know certain basics.
This is to save yourself getting into trouble with your local council as well as having a smooth skip delivery and subsequent removal.
Why Must The Skip Company Have Vehicle Access?
You cannot simply have your skip delivered and dropped anywhere. It is against council rules and regulations to simply have the skip dropped on public land where it is convenient for you.
It is important to make sure that the vehicle delivering your skip has easy access to your property and that the access road can support the actual weight of the vehicle plus the skip it is carrying. The truck is heavy and can damage an already weak road surface.
You as the hirer will also be liable for any damage to the truck delivering your skip if the access is not sufficient and this could be costly for you. If you have any doubts if the access is wide enough for the skip size you require, confer with the company.
The company will advise you as to specific widths required and give other needful advice and alternative suggestions.
