Serving County Durham Since 1971

About Ward Bros Skip Hire

Ward Bros is a well-established family name in County Durham, with a history stretching back more than 50 years. Since our beginnings in 1971, we have grown and developed alongside the communities and businesses we serve. From our base at Littleburn Industrial Estate in Langley Moor, we have built a reputation for providing reliable, straightforward and professional skip hire services in Durham and the surrounding areas.

What began with our roots in plant hire has developed over the decades into the comprehensive skip hire, recycling and waste management services we provide today. While our business has evolved, our approach remains much the same: provide a dependable local service, look after our customers and get the job done properly.

Over 50 Years of Experience

More than five decades in business gives us a level of knowledge and practical experience that cannot be built overnight. Over the years, we have worked with homeowners, tradespeople, builders, contractors and businesses throughout County Durham. This experience means we understand that no two waste disposal requirements are exactly the same. A homeowner clearing out a garage has very different requirements from a construction company managing waste across a large project. Therefore, we offer flexible solutions that can be tailored to the job.

Our experienced team can advise customers on everything from choosing the right skip size to arranging collections and managing larger volumes of commercial waste.

Fantastic service as always from Ward Bros. Skip arrived on Monday and was collected on Thursday evening after ringing re collection at 3pm even though they said it might be Tuesday after Easter. Prices are fantastic and definitely cheaper than any of the NE companies that I contacted who claimed to have the cheapest prices. Nice to get such great customer service in this day and age 👍👍👍👍

Absolutely spot on ! Needed a skip to remove a large amount of soil and leftovers from replacing a fence.Gave them a call and they were extremely helpful, friendly and professional. They advised me what size I needed, which worked out perfectly.The skip was delivered and the driver was top notch. Placed it in a convenient place, and offered plenty of advice and tips which was extremely helpful and was very much appreciated.Called the company the following Monday to advised the skip is ready to collect, again they were extremely friendly and helpful on the phone. Despite being very busy they collected the skip in the morning allowing me to carry on with the job. Although being a different driver He was still very professional, friendly and efficient.All in all a very easy and proffesional service from Ward Brothers, especially for a home DIY job. Thank you very much to all those involved, you have the business right.Thank you

Fantastic!! Very helpful lady on the phone who booked the skip to be dropped exactly on time. Really pleased to have a clean, 'posh' skip as it was on the drive and it was placed perfectly - thanks to the driver! Once filled it was collected promptly, very well timed as it was the day of storm Eowyn. I was very impressed both by service, timing and price and would not hesitate to book again - I won't be going anywhere else - thanks very much!

Communication was spot on throughout, the receptionists were lovely to speak with and were very knowledgeable on what size skip I needed and logistics.I used a 3 yard domestic skip for a garden project and it was perfectly fit for purpose.

Booked a skip a week in advance of day needed, lady I spoke to was very helpful and offered a very competitive price. On day skip was required it arrived on time with a very friendly and knowledgeable driver. Called when skip was ready for collection and it was picked up same day.

We hired a skip for my parents in Consett and the service was great. They delivered the skip on time and collected the day we requested it. The price was good too. Highly recommended and we will use them again.

First time I’ve used this company for skip hire. Are they good? NO, they’re excellent!! Cost was comparable with others offering this service but customer care was outstanding. Skip arrived 10 minutes into the two hour window I was given and collection was equally good. Drivers were pleasant and efficient taking only minutes to leave/pickup the skip. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend

Local Skip Hire in Durham

Today, Ward Bros provides reliable skip hire in Durham and throughout the surrounding areas for both domestic and commercial customers. We offer a wide choice of skip sizes, making it easier to find a practical and cost-effective option for your project. Whether you are clearing your home, renovating a property, landscaping a garden or working on a construction site, our team can help you choose the right skip.

We understand that customers don’t want waste sitting around longer than necessary. Consequently, we work hard to provide prompt deliveries and collections, including same-day or next-day services where availability allows. If your skip needs to be placed on a public highway, we can also help arrange the necessary skip permit, making the process as straightforward as possible.

Commercial Waste Management

Our services extend far beyond household skip hire. Ward Bros works with businesses, trades and contractors that need a dependable solution for regular or large-scale waste disposal. We provide commercial skip hire for projects of different sizes, including larger skips for bulky construction and industrial waste. Short and longer-term hire arrangements are available, while commercial accounts can also be arranged for businesses requiring our services regularly.

Our long history within the plant hire, construction and waste industries gives us a practical understanding of the pressures faced by commercial customers. Reliable delivery, efficient collections and responsible waste handling can all help keep a site operating efficiently.

Committed to Recycling and Responsible Waste Management

Waste management has changed considerably since Ward Bros first began operating in 1971, and our business has continued to evolve with it. Today, recycling and responsible waste management form an important part of what we do. Rather than simply viewing everything we collect as rubbish, we aim to recover and reclaim as many suitable materials as possible. Waste is sorted and processed so recyclable materials can be separated wherever possible.

Our operations comply with the relevant waste management requirements, and our management systems comply with ISO 14001:2015 requirements. This commitment allows us to provide customers with a professional waste solution while helping to reduce the amount of reusable material unnecessarily sent for disposal.

A Local Company You Can Rely On

Although Ward Bros has grown considerably since 1971, we remain firmly connected to County Durham. From our Langley Moor base, we provide services throughout Durham, Bishop Auckland, Chester-le-Street, Bowburn, Crook, Washington, Houghton-le-Spring, Newton Aycliffe, Consett, Stanley, Lanchester, Sedgefield, Spennymoor and surrounding areas. Being local means we understand the area and the needs of the people and businesses within it. It also enables us to provide a responsive service rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Many of our customers return to Ward Bros because they know they can speak to an experienced team that understands waste management and will help them find a suitable solution.
