Skip hire Uckfield

Ford Waste is an Uckfield business in the plainest sense: our transfer station, our office and all six trucks are based at Knights Business Centre on Squires Farm Industrial Estate, just south of town at Palehouse Common. When you order a skip in Uckfield you are not booking through a broker who sells the job on — the lorry that arrives is ours, the driver is one of our team, and your waste travels about ten minutes back to our own recycling facility rather than across the county.

We have served Uckfield since 2005, through the growth of Ridgewood and the new estates off Lewes Road, and we know the practical details that make a delivery go smoothly: which closes and cul-de-sacs need a smaller vehicle, where a 8-yard builder’s skip will sit comfortably on a driveway off Framfield Road, and when a wait & load slot beats a permit on the busier residential streets near the High Street. Garden clear-outs in Manor Park, kitchen rip-outs in Hempstead Fields, full renovations on the Victorian terraces near the station — we have tipped skips from most streets in town at some point in the last twenty years.

Skips placed on a public road in Uckfield need a permit from East Sussex County Council, which we arrange for you and supply the cones and lights the council requires. Driveways and private land need no permit at all. If you are clearing an old garage or outbuilding, bear in mind that corrugated cement roofs from the 1960s and 70s often contain bonded asbestos — we are one of only two licensed asbestos operators in the area and can collect it legally with all consignment paperwork done for you, usually on the same run.

Because Uckfield is home ground, same-day delivery is genuinely realistic here: order before 10am and there is a good chance a skip is on your drive that afternoon.
