Choosing the right skip hire company can feel like a gamble. With so many operators out there, it’s not always easy to know who you can rely on. Unfortunately, the industry isn’t free from poor service, hidden costs and companies that don’t deliver on their promises. At Rabbit Skips, we think customers deserve better – and after 30 years serving homes and businesses across Sussex, we know what sets a trustworthy skip hire company apart from the rest.
Here are five signs to look out for when choosing a skip hire provider – and how Rabbit ticks every box.
1. Clear and Honest Pricing
If a company’s prices look too good to be true, they probably are. Hidden charges for permits, excess weight or extended hire times can quickly drive up the cost.
The Rabbit difference: We’re upfront and transparent. Our customers know exactly what they’re paying for before they book, with no unpleasant surprises later.
2. Proper Licensing and Permits
A reliable skip hire company should hold the correct licenses to handle and transport waste. Without these, you risk your waste being disposed of improperly – and even potential fines.
The Rabbit difference: We’re fully licensed and accredited, giving you complete peace of mind that your waste is being managed responsibly.
3. Strong Local Reputation
Word of mouth and reviews are powerful indicators of trust. A company with a poor track record or a faceless call centre setup is unlikely to deliver the service you need.
The Rabbit difference: We’ve built our reputation over three decades as a friendly, family-run business serving Sussex. Many of our customers come back to us time and again, recommending us to friends and family.
4. Reliable Delivery and Collection
Unreliable skip delivery or missed collections can derail a project. Trustworthy companies turn up when they say they will.
The Rabbit difference: We pride ourselves on punctuality and flexibility. Whether it’s a home clearance or a construction site, we deliver and collect skips when our customers need them.
5. Commitment to the Environment
Fly-tipping and landfill reliance are signs of a company cutting corners. Responsible waste disposal is vital in today’s world.
The Rabbit difference: We recycle as much waste as possible and even generate green energy from what can’t be recycled. By choosing Rabbit, you’re making the environmentally responsible choice.
Skip Hire You Can Rely On
When you’re hiring a skip, trust matters. By looking for clear pricing, proper licensing, a strong reputation, reliability and environmental responsibility, you’ll quickly separate the good from the bad.
At Rabbit Skips, we’re proud to tick all five boxes. That’s why thousands of customers across Sussex continue to trust us with their waste removal.
