Skip hire services may be popular year-round, but the New Year period is a particularly trying time for skip hire providers and those in need of skips.
In short, skip hire companies are under constant pressure at this time of year, due to customers seeking skips to fulfil a variety of needs.
That’s why, at A&R Skips, we’d recommend getting in touch with our team and booking your skip as soon as possible if you know you’ll be needing one come January. As an experienced provider of skip hire, Wigan customers (and those in the wider borough) can rest assured we offer thorough and cheap skip hire services for both domestic and commercial use.
So, why should you book your skips sooner than later? Here are just a few reasons why…
Why is skip hire in the New Year different from every other time of year?
Christmas & New Year clutter
Without fail, the days following December 25th are a test in themselves for the waste management skills of families everywhere.
Wrapping paper, cardboard boxes, plastic containers and food packaging are just some of the bits and pieces that need disposing of. And this is on the tamer side.
What about large Christmas and New Year family gatherings that produce a tidal wave of waste? These folks need somewhere to dispose of the excess, to enjoy the festive season properly.
In these instances, skips find their way to people’s driveways in huge figures, up and down the country, leading to an influx of skip rentals during this time. Meaning skip hire services are always busy.
So book your skip in with A&R Skips today to avoid the New Year rush.
New Year’s renovation projects
The construction industry understandably slows down in the winter, with weather conditions and national holidays limiting the work that can be done versus other times of the year.
Having said that, it doesn’t take long for both domestic and commercial projects to kick off again after New Year’s Day.
Needing to make up for lost time, professionals and self-project enthusiasts always find themselves back at work shortly after January 1st, or even sooner.
This is why skip hire companies are relied upon so heavily for commercial skip hire during this time to help keep stray bricks, mortar, stone and other materials out from underfoot.
If you’re in the middle of a renovation project and are taking a break over Christmas, or you’re planning on diving into a project in the New Year, be sure to secure your skip hire now so you don’t end up with excess materials all over the place.
Reduced daylight means busier projects
We’ve already mentioned how projects can be busier in the new year due to lost time. But another factor to take into account is reduced daylight hours in the winter months.
With construction sites and building jobs relying on daylight to get the job done, less daylight means less time to complete essential work.
In turn, this elongates projects, resulting in them needing to onboard skip hire services for longer.
On a larger scale, a domino effect caused by such factors can place skip rentals in exceedingly high demand during the New Year when days are still very dark. That’s why it’s essential to enquire about skip hire at your earliest convenience, so you don’t miss out and need to postpone things.
Delivery and collection times can vary
This one is obvious, but is no less important than any of the other points we’ve listed.
Increased pressure on skip hire companies in the New Year means the availability of skips, and skip delivery or collection times, may be more limited than other times of year.
At A&R Skips, we work hard to ensure we can meet the needs of all our customers, no matter the time of year.
But the best way to guarantee your skip to be delivered and collected at a time that suits you is to enquire early.
