Skip arrived at 7:45am sharp on the day we booked. Driver reversed it onto an awkward Selsdon driveway like it was nothing. Three skips in two years now, never had a wobble.

Use Henry Woods on every Croydon job. Honest prices, no funny add-ons, they actually answer the yard phone. The permit handling alone saves me half a day a week.

First time hiring a skip and I had no idea what I was doing. The lady on the phone was patient, explained the permit, and the driver took the time so the neighbours weren’t blocked in.

Ripped the whole garden out over a bank holiday. Ordered a 6 yard on the Friday, it was on the drive Saturday morning and gone the day I called. Proper local firm, no messing about.

Clearing my late father's house was hard enough without skip hassle. They talked me through the right size, sorted the permit for the road, and could not have been kinder about it. Thank you.

On a trade account now and it has made my week easier. They fit me in fast when I need it, take the heavy rubble without a fuss, and I get one invoice at month end. Sound outfit.

Frequently asked
Everything most people want to know.
If your skip is going on a public road or pavement, yes, the local council issues a permit. We apply for it on your behalf when you book, and include the cost in your total before you pay. On a private drive, no permit is needed.
Tyres, asbestos, paint, solvents and oils, gas bottles, batteries, food waste, medical waste, plasterboard and fridge freezers. Everything else, including soil and rubble, goes in (just tell us in advance for the heavy ones). Small separate amounts of plasterboard can sometimes be taken by arrangement, ring the yard first. Mattresses and upholstered furniture are taken at a small extra charge: single mattress £15, double mattress £20, sofas and armchairs £30.
Standard hire is two weeks. Need it longer? Just ring the yard and we will arrange it. When you’re done, call the collection in. We usually pick up within a couple of days, depending how busy we are.
Often we can, depending on lorry availability. Ring the yard on 0203 369 9540 and we will tell you straight. The online calendar shows the earliest slots we can guarantee, so phone if you need it sooner.
Our lorries are all standard size and need a clear width of 10 feet (3 metres) to get through. If you’re unsure, send us a photo on WhatsApp (07766 191 470) before booking and we will tell you straight.
