From the Mill Lane yard
Three lorries. Same family. On Croydon’s roads since 1996.
The same family yard, the same fleet, the same drivers. We run a tight operation, so the skip arrives when we said it would and leaves the same way.

The big one
12 yard · clearances
Full property clearances, loft conversion strip-outs and larger commercial refurbs. Light bulky waste only — no heavy soil or rubble.

Booked at 11am, skip arrived next morning at 7:45am sharp. 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. Same-day when I need it, they 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.
Fridges & freezers, TVs & monitors, tyres, asbestos, batteries, paint and chemicals, anything containing fuel. Everything else — including plasterboard, soil and rubble — goes in (just tell us in advance for the heavy ones).
Standard hire is 14 days. Need longer? Extension is £15 per day. Need it gone sooner? Phone the yard the day before and we’ll bring forward the collection at no extra cost.
Often yes, depending on lorry availability. Best to ring the yard on 0203 369 9540 before 11am. Online bookings before 14:00 are confirmed for next-day delivery.
If you’re unsure, send us a photo via WhatsApp on 0203 369 9540 before booking. We’d rather check than turn up with the wrong lorry. Tight access? A 4-yard usually clears most domestic driveways.
