A dated conservatory coming down, whether to make way for a proper extension or simply because it is past its best, leaves behind one of the more mixed loads a home project can produce. Glass, uPVC frames, a polycarbonate or glass roof, the dwarf wall and the old base all have to go, and they do not all behave the same way in a skip. Our Ormskirk skip hire team can size and plan the removal so the waste never holds up the build.
A truly mixed and heavy load
A conservatory combines light, bulky framing with heavy, dense rubble. The uPVC and roof panels take up room without much weight, while the brick dwarf wall and the concrete base are heavy and lift the load considerably. That combination usually points to a builders skip, and our 8 tonne builders skip hire copes with the mix well. The sizes are compared on our skip sizes page if you want to weigh it up.
Handling the glass safely
The glass is the part that needs care. Old conservatory glazing comes out in large, awkward panes, and broken glass in a skip is a hazard for whoever loads after you and for our crew on collection. Keep it together, break it down carefully if you must, and load it where it will not shift. A quick word with us about how much glass is involved means we can advise on the safest way to deal with it.
Access through to the back
Most conservatories sit at the rear, so the waste has to travel through or around the house to reach the skip out front. We will place the skip to keep that carry as short as we can, and where there is no driveway and the skip goes on the road, we will arrange the council licence as part of the booking so it is all in order from the start.
Plan the removal with us
