If you are having an extension, then you will want to know about skip bins hire costs. extensions are costly processes at the best of times, with the joinery and building etc going on. The last thing you need on top of that is a massively expensive skip bins hire cost. Well I'm afraid that you are going to be disappointed. If you thought I was going to tell you how to get cheap skip bins hire, then you're sadly mistaken. There is no such thing as a cheap skip bins hire, and if you manage to find one, then it willalmost certainly be a scam. Some people do scam you. Sometimes you can finda skip firm that offer skip hire for a reasonable price, with freedelivery and collection. This sounds too good to be true, especially if you are bogged under with building forms to fill in for your extension. When you are stressed about the other aspects of the extension, then you are more likely to overlook the fact that the skip hire may be a scam. This is what they rely on. In the best case scenario, they will just charge you extra. They will take your money, and then never come to collect the skip.When you ring them, they demand more money than agreed to take it away, and by this time you have little choice as you can't get onto your driveway. The worst case scenario is if they are in league with your builders. Sometimes scam skip hire groups work with scam builders to rob your house. If you go away on holiday while the building work is going on, and give your builders a key to your garage (to get through to the garden), then you're screwed. Firstly, anything of value in your garage will be stolen, and secondly, probably anything of value in your house. The neighbours won't think anything of bangings, crashings and smashings coming from your house when building work is being completed. This gives the builders lots of chance to break into your house and steal whatever they want. This includes big things as well, such as antique furniture. They just ring the skip hire company that they're in league with, and load the stolen goods into the skip. No neighbour would be suspicious of a skip on the driveway, and once its full, the skip man drives it away with all your worldly possessions. By the time you get back from holiday, the builders have come up with a story about how they came back one morning to find the house broken into. You have to pay them for the shoddy job they did, pay the skip hire company for taking the building rubble away, and they leave with your money and your possessions. The moral of this story is simple - if the skip hire seems too good to be true- it is. Look out for scamming builders as well, only use someone if they have been recommended personally and you have lots of contact details.
