Skoup’s van removal service is a fast, cost-effective and hassle-free way to dispose of unwanted items and is often a cheaper alternative to a skip. But how much stuff can you actually fit into a van? 

Many of us when undertaking, what seems like a big clearance project, will opt for a skip because they have certain benefits, such as: 

  • They can be hired for extended periods 
  • They can be filled with heavier materials like rubble  

However, if you’re looking to clear out your loft, garage, garden or even having your kitchen refitted a van might be a cheaper and more efficient alternative to a skip. Here’s why: 

  • A van can remove most types of waste including furniture, mattresses, wooden cabinets, fixtures and fittings, bric-a-brac, garden waste, water-based paint cans and electrical waste. View our full list of accepted items. 
  • Our helpful drivers will load everything onto the van for you so there’s no need for heavy lifting. Due to COVID-19, we ask customers to leave items in an accessible area outside of their premises as we will not be entering homes/businesses during this time. We are also unable to guarantee a two-man crew therefor removal of some larger items may be restricted. 
  • Unwanted items can be collected and removed on the same day.  
  • Our quarter van service can be completed in as little as 15 minutes! 
  • Van prices start from just £75 and our full van collection could save you on average £89 compared to a 12-yard skip. 

If you think a van collection service is the best option for you, book your slot online. If you need a little more information on what size van is right for your clear out, keep reading. 

We’ve created a few common household and business scenarios to show you the right size collection and avoid any disappointment on the day.

If at any point during the collection your items have filled the space booked, our helpful team will assist you in arranging a larger service, based on availability. Simply pay the difference.
If you booked a half/full van collection but your items only filled a quarter/half van or less then we will refund you the difference in price. Either way you always get the best deal with Skoup!

Fantastic service, quick easy, efficient. Steve had the job done in 20 minutes. The easiest way to deal with excess household rubbish. Simple to book, good value, would highly recommend

Clare Delacruz 29 May 2020

Quick and hassle free service! Lewis arrived within hours of booking a van and made light work of clearing out our garden shed. Would definitely recommend using this company. Thank you Lewis!

Josie Baker 26 May 2020

Skoup offer a brilliant service; I found their website clear and easy to navigate, they kept me updated at every step of the process and they got rid of all my unwanted rubbish saving me hours of sorting and queuing at the local tip! Lewis, who collected the rubbish, was really helpful and called to say when he would arrive and then let me know when he had loaded it all in the van. I would definitely use Skoup again and highly recommend them.

Kevin Barrett 11 May 2020

The driver Lewis was very friendly and helpful, rang to let us know he would be here in 20 minutes, which he was, everything removed and taken away. Would definitely recommend Skoup, and use them again.

Mettelise Lloyd 07 May 2020

This is the second time we have used Skoup to clear away the debris from our DIY efforts; wardrobe components and carpeting cuts. On both occasions we were told when the van would arrive and on both occasions our stuff was cleared away by a very pleasant and efficient person.

Emma Laverick 07 May 2020

Fabulous service from start to finish. The man that came to collect the rubbish was polite professional and really went the extra mile and did a very thorough job. Would definitely recommend using this service.

Rebecca 05 May 2020

Had some waste that needing removing after we had our new kitchen fitted. Removal chap gave us a courtesy phone call to say he was near, was upbeat, positive and pro-active even though removing our load wasn't straight forward. Really nice guy, got the job done and polite, courteous and professional during these COVID times. Would definitely recommend.

Joe 20 Apr 2020

Excellent service!We booked our collection on a Sunday afternoon and were able to get a slot for the very next day. The nice chap arrived at around 8am, packed up our rubbish carefully and left the area tidy. Perfect service!

Lewis 16 Apr 2020

Amazing Service - Quick and easy. Skoup had this collected and in the "Half Van" service within 3 minutes of arrival! Very friendly guys. With a child on the way this was a massive relieve, I'd give them more stars if it were possible! Definately will use again in the future if I need a similar service.

Emma Steele 15 Apr 2020

Brilliant service! Even in lockdown it is so professional. I only booked 4 days ago and now all the rubbish is cleared. So easy & cheaper than the smallest of skips. The van was huge and could have taken a lot more. Thank you to the lovely team who are working from home. I'll definitely be using the service again.
