I run a landscaping business and after using 3 local skip firms around my area I always need them to be on time to meet my deadline dates to complete my projects and take skips away on time so when ringing up and asking politely how long is my skip goin to be or its now been 2 days and skips still hear and then get grunts and groans and hanging up on you .. Un professionalism on the other end of the phone you kind of don't want to use them again
*So I give Lostock skip hire a call*.. fantastic professionalism on the phone and polite . Give you a rough guide of a time they will be there and that's perfect!! So if you want a reliable professional skip firm at great prices these our the guys.. ***
