Can a skip be delivered over a garden wall?

Check a proposed road position with the operator

Show the level difference at the property
Where a drive rises sharply or the garden is below the road, supply photographs from both directions. Do not assume a container can be placed over a wall or lifted beyond the operator's normal reach.
Estimate building waste separately
Roofing, masonry and bathroom materials can be heavy even in a modest pile. Identify the materials and ask about weight limits and exclusions rather than ordering solely by volume.
