Why You Should Book Skip Hire in Brackley Before Doing a DIY Project
DIY is a great way to improve your home on a budget, and
often costs a fraction of the price of a professional. However, it can be time
consuming, and often means you end up with a lot of mess and waste. With
Brackley boasting lots of large, detached homes, many homeowners in the area
carry out DIY projects, but many of them don’t realise how much a skip can help
them. Whether you’re ripping out the kitchen, or decorating the living room,
here are some reasons to hire a skip.
Finding the right
size
Because there are lots of different skip sizes available,
from mini-skips to those designed for traders, it’s easy to hire a skip that suits the scale of
your project. Mini-skips are handy for those little weekend jobs, where you
might be throwing out junk and old furniture, as they fit well on a front lawn.
But if you’re taking on advanced projects such as replacing your kitchen
cabinets, you may need one of the larger options. Getting the right size means
you don’t end up paying for skip space you don’t need.
Keep your workspace
organised
Ever done a DIY project and been overwhelmed by dust and
clutter? Having a skip means you can throw out old materials straight away, and
then arrange for the skip waste to
be collected, so they’re not causing a tripping hazard in the house. You can
throw away:
· Wood
· Plastic
· Soil
· Metal
· Construction waste
· Rubble
· Furniture
In general, most non-hazardous items can be thrown in a
skip, but if you’re unsure, ask the hire company beforehand. Remember,
chemicals such as paint and varnish can’t be thrown in a skip, but the empty
cans can be taken away.
Recycling waste
If you’re doing a DIY job that has a lot of recyclable
materials being disposed of, then a skip makes life easier. Nobody wants to see
loads of wood and metal go to landfill, so skip
hire companies do all the sorting and recycling for you. This makes life so
much easier and saves you from needing to hire a van. Sorting DIY waste is time
consuming and annoying, but with a skip it all goes in one bin, which saves
your precious time.
Avoid the heavy
lifting
The problem with DIY is that many people strain themselves
carrying heavy loads or taking things on that they don’t have the tools for. Hiring
a skip means you can avoid having to carry heavy loads, with everything picked
up for you. You could also consider truck
hire for the weekend, which is an easy way to get rid of big waste loads,
and also makes it easy to pick up DIY supplies without overfilling your car.
