Took the awkward stuff
Rang to check about plasterboard and they collected it separately for a small charge instead of refusing the whole skip. Sensible people.
Ashburton Road West, Trafford Park, Manchester M17 1RY
Irwell Valley Skips runs one of the larger independent fleets in Greater Manchester from Trafford Park, covering the city, Salford and Trafford daily with everything from minis to 16 yard containers. The office deals with Manchester City Council permits and residents' parking bay suspensions constantly, which matters in a city where both are needed more often than not, and it will tell you the full permit cost before you commit rather than after. Same day delivery is realistic on the south side when booked before ten. Quotes include VAT, fourteen days and collection, with the fridge and mattress surcharge list published on the website. Trade accounts run scheduled exchanges for the fit-out crews around Ancoats and the city core, and householders get the same drivers, the same boards for block paving and the same text-when-en-route system. Collections are booked by text or phone and confirmed the same day, weekend drops can be arranged at standard rates with notice, and the office keeps a short cancellation list for customers who need a skip faster than the published lead time.

Driver put boards down before dropping the skip on our block paving. Not a mark on it when it was collected two weeks later.
Booked Monday, skip arrived Tuesday morning in the two hour slot they gave me. Collected the day after I rang. No fuss at all.
Cheapest of the three quotes I got. Delivery slipped to the afternoon but they rang ahead to say so, which I appreciated.
A comparison website quoted £70 more for the same size skip in the same postcode. Booking direct with the local yard was a no brainer.
Skip had to go on the road and they handled the whole council permit side. Just added it to the bill like they said they would.
