Grab Hire FAQs - Straight Answers
How much does grab hire cost?
Starts from £180 per load for clean hardcore (concrete/brick) in London. Mixed construction waste typically £280-350. Green waste £180-220. Prices include loading, transport, disposal, and all documentation. Material type affects cost - contaminated soil, plasterboard, hazardous materials cost more. WhatsApp photos for exact quote.
How much can a grab lorry take?
Our 8-wheel grabs carry 16 tonnes or approximately 12-15 cubic metres. That's roughly equivalent to two 8-yard skips. Dense materials like wet clay max out weight before volume. Light materials like insulation max out volume before weight. Driver assesses on site.
What's the reach of your grab arm?
8 metres reach - that's over most walls, fences, and hoardings. Can grab from behind barriers, over scaffolding, from gardens with rear access only. If we can see it, we can usually grab it. Send photos if unsure about access.
Do you need permits for grab lorries?
Only if parking on public highway while loading. Most jobs we're in and out in 20 minutes - no permit needed. If your waste is on private land and we can reach from the road, no permit required. We'll advise based on your photos.
Can you take mixed waste?
Yes, mixed construction waste is fine - brick, concrete, timber, metal all in one load. Some materials need separating by law: asbestos (specialist removal only), plasterboard (separate load), green waste (cheaper if separated). We'll guide you on best approach.
How quickly can you get here?
Same-day service for calls before noon. Standard next-day across London. Emergency 2-hour response available for critical situations (additional charge). Multi-load projects we'll dedicate trucks to keep you moving.
What about tight access sites?
London specialists - we navigate tight streets daily. Need 3 metres width for truck access. Can't get truck to site? We reach 8 metres from roadside. Basement digs with street-level access? Perfect. Most 'impossible' sites are possible with grabs.
Do you provide waste transfer notes?
Full documentation provided: waste transfer notes, duty of care, environmental permits. All waste to licensed facilities. EA registered carrier. Everything needed for site compliance and audits. Documents emailed same day.
Can you handle contaminated soil?
Yes, with advance notice. Needs proper classification and hazardous waste documentation. Additional costs apply based on contamination level. We'll guide you through requirements. All disposal fully compliant with environmental regulations.
What's wait and load service?
Your team stacks waste in accessible pile. Our grab arrives, loads it up, drives away. Perfect when you have labour but need efficient disposal. Usually 20-minute turnaround. Saves money versus grab doing the digging/collecting.
