Helping Out In Werrington

Even with Werrington only being a short distance from Stoke on Trent, we often hear people saying that they can’t get certain services in the village. With skips somehow being one of those.

Skip Hire Werrington

Here at Staffordshire Skip Hire, we certainly do offer skip hire in Werrington! We have a vast collection of skips, in all different sizes, that are available for delivery to Werrington, whether you are looking for a small domestic skip or a large commercial skip such as our RoRo 40-yard skip.

Domestic Skips

As the majority of Werrington is residential, primarily the skips we deliver to the area are being used for standard household waste, renovations and clearing out the jungle that a selection of people call a garden.
Depending on the amount of waste that you are expecting will depend on the size or even style of skip that you require. For instance, if you are looking to remove your current bathroom suite, you may not want to throw it over the side of a skip, so the drop door skips would be a better option.
However, if the majority of your waste is lighter garden waste, like tree cuttings and shrubs, a fixed side skip would be better.
Both styles of skips are available in a range of sizes meaning that we can discuss the right skip for your needs. Our experts have wealth of experience with skip sizes, which means that if you are unsure of what size you need, we can give you a helping hand. However, if you are ever in doubt, we recommend sizing up, rather than having to pay for a second skip.

Commercial Skips

Typically, skips used for commercial purposes are much larger than your standard domestic skip. Often they will also need to have other additions, such as a drop door or a lockable top. With this in mind, we have included a selection of these in our fleet.
Our largest available skip is the RoRo 40 yard skip. This skip is significantly better than ordering a number of smaller skips and offers its own dedicated recycling service to ensure that as little waste as possible enters the landfill. Helping you do your bit for the environment.

If you are looking for skip hire Werrington, the team here at Staffordshire Skip Hire are dedicated to helping you rid your home and business of unwanted waste. So get in touch with our team today and we will have the right skip delivered to your door on the right day for you.

Cut The Chill This February

With January now behind us, it’s time to focus on how you can make February comfortable for you and your family. While January is usually a cold month, we have seen it unseasonably dry and warm this year, which could lead to us having a colder than average February. So how can you heat your home?

Stocking Up On Logs

In preparation for the colder weather, we have called in a stockpile of kiln-dried hardwood logs. Ready to be delivered straight to the doors of our customers, allowing them to heat their homes, without suffering the impact of the rising energy prices that we have seen in recent months.
With these prices increasing, we are hoping that many people will start to consider using their log burners more, particularly when they are predominantly using one room of the house.
Ordering a large bulk bag of logs from Staffordshire Skip Hire can help you prepare for cold days, while also reducing your overall fuel bill.

Storing Your Logs

In 2021 the UK government took their clean air strategy up another notch by stopping the sale of wet logs and coal to the general public. This was with the aim to reduce air pollution from those homes that would burn these wet logs.
However, for many, the issue comes when they are storing their logs at home. Many people with a log burner invested in an outdoor log store, which has an open front, and usually not raised base. These log stores then allow the elements to affect the logs, thus leaving them damp, even after they have arrived kiln dried.
This means that we have changed the recommendation to keep your logs indoors where possible. This can include in your garage, your shed, and even your conservatory (as these are seldom used in the winter.
The warmer you can keep your logs the better, however, we know that this isn’t always possible, particularly when you order them in bulk, saving you a few pennies.
Of course, you will need to prepare these areas ready for the arrival of your bulk order of logs. This is where skip hire Stoke-on-Trent can help. Getting in touch with Staffordshire Skip Hire, we can help you to find the right skip to remove the waste from your space, allowing you to create your perfect log store.

Why We Recommend Kiln Dried Hardwood Logs

There are a number of times that you will see kiln-dried hardwood logs recommended to you, but have you read why?
Firstly, kiln-dried means that they have had the majority of the moisture removed from them. Should the logs have been burnt with this moisture, they would have released a number of harmful particles into the air, which could be detrimental to the health of you and your family. It also removes a significant amount of organisms that would call these logs home.
Secondly, we recommend hardwood logs as they offer a significantly longer burn time. These logs can offer up to 5 hours of burn time, which in many cases is more than double what softwood offers. However, you will need some form of quality kindling to get this lit as they are more difficult to get a good fire going.
Pairing your hardwood logs and smokeless coal offers you high quality and long-lasting fire, to heat your home in the most economical way possible this February.

Logs From Staffordshire Skip Hire

Whether you are looking for a smaller netted bag of logs, or a bulk bag of logs, here at Staffordshire Skip Hire we have them ready and waiting for both collection and delivery.

How To Make The Most Out Of Your Skip Hire

When it comes to hiring a skip, you want to make sure that you are getting the most out of it, and as much for your money as you possibly can. Here are a few tips from the team here at Staffordshire Skip Hire.

Loading Heavy And Light Goods

There is a vast array of recommendations to load heavy goods first and others that state load lighter goods first. Here at Staffordshire Skip Hire, we actually recommend both. But there are a number of reasons to do each, so it’s best to see which is best for your goods.
If your heavier goods are bulky, then we highly recommend loading these first. Loading bulky goods first allows you to load other waste into the skip around them.
However, if your heavier items arent so bulky, placing lighter goods at the bottom, with heavier on top, allows the weight to compact the lighter goods, leaving you with more space in your skip.
We do however request that the majority of your heavier goods are towards the bottom half of the skip as this makes it much safer when removing it from your property for our loaders.

Break It Down

We often collect skips that have larger items in them, such as cupboards and boxes. For the most part, these could be broken down into much smaller pieces. If these larger items are broken down, it allows for them to be in the skip in different places and at different angles.
We often collect skips with larger pockets of unused space due to having unwanted cupboards and wardrobes thrown into them. You can save yourself money by dismantling these and popping them in flat packed.

Bathroom Renovations

If you are renovating your bathroom, including a new bath, toilet and sink, you might find that you are filling a whole skip with just these three items.
Where possible, we recommend trying to position your sink and toilet inside the bath. This may even mean standing them up in the bath. This will often cut the used space in half, and you can still fit waste in around them inside the bath, which will help to hold them in place.
You can then fill the rest of the skip as you please! Skip hire Longton is a great way to get your bathroom renovations underway.

Garden Clearances

We see a high number of skips throughout the year that are filled with garden waste, however, this is typically not compacted or broken down. Such as branches being left completely intact, and usually taking over your skip.
While it may be a little more time consuming, we certainly recommend cutting these up as small as possible, allowing them to take up as little space as possible.

Skip Sizes

Making the most out of your skip will also depend on the size of skip that you hire.
Mini Skips are great if you are looking to clear out a smaller amount of waste, or looking to renovate one room (unless it is the kitchen or bathroom). However, midi skips are the most common size skip for most domestic projects. These will allow you to complete garden clearances and take on a variety of types of waste.
