WF8 skips, the historic market town

Skip Hire Pontefract - the castle town by the racecourse.

Pontefract pairs a ruined castle with one of the country's oldest racecourses, and the town between them - centre terraces, leafy avenues near the course - keeps the renovation work coming. Order a skip on your WF8 address and it usually arrives the next working day; we collect on your say-so and recycle as much of the load as we can.

Skip hire for the home of the Pontefract Cake.

Pontefract is a historic West Yorkshire market town, famous for its medieval castle, the country's oldest racecourse and the iconic Pontefract Cake. With a busy market square, substantial Georgian and Victorian housing stock and modern estates spreading out toward Carleton, the town generates steady skip demand.

We deliver throughout WF8, covering Pontefract town centre, Carleton, Tanshelf, Monkhill, Chequerfield and out toward East Hardwick. The town centre's narrow medieval streets need careful access - just give us the full address on the call.

We work regularly with Pontefract landlords, builders, kitchen fitters and homeowners. Prices are fixed in advance with VAT, delivery, collection and licensed disposal all included.

Your waste, handled properly - and mostly recycled.

Every skip we collect goes to a licensed transfer station, where it's sorted and recovered. We're Environment Agency registered waste carriers (licence no. CBDU634176), so the rubble, timber and household clearance you load gets diverted from landfill wherever it can be.
