Frequently Asked Questions
Grab Hire & Muck Away FAQs
Grab hire is a fast and efficient way to remove large volumes of waste such as soil, hardcore, concrete, clay and green waste from a site. Pat Taylor Garden Service Ltd uses grab lorries fitted with hydraulic arms to collect waste directly from piles without the need for skips or manual loading. This service is ideal for construction projects, landscaping work, driveway installations and site clearances across Ware, Stevenage, Harlow, Epping and surrounding areas.
The muck away service can remove inert waste including soil, clay, rubble, hardcore, bricks and subsoil from domestic and commercial sites. Mixed construction waste may also be accepted depending on the material type. Pat Taylor Garden Service Ltd works with builders, developers and homeowners throughout Hertfordshire and Essex to ensure waste is disposed of responsibly and efficiently.
In most cases, no permit is required for grab hire because the lorry can load waste directly from private land or driveways without placing equipment on the road. This makes grab hire more convenient than skip hire for many customers in Ware, Welwyn Garden City, Hoddesdon and surrounding towns.
