Recommendation for: Concrete removal handyman, cost of skip?


Recommended Posts

Hi - as can be seen in this photo we have some concrete in our garden which is circular and blue and we'd like it to be removed. We will then consider turfing/decking/paving it in a more attractive way. There are also some planks of wood and paving slabs (some can be seen to the right of this photo) as well as a dead bush and a tree trunk, so we'll need a small skip. I suspect it can be done in a day but will require a skip and some kind of pneumatic drill (?).

Is anyone interested in providing a quote for this job or does anyone know the rough cost of a small skip and whether a layperson would be able to rent the kind of drill needed?

Thanks very much .... Lucy

Hi Lucy,


I have just sent you a text message.


Regarding the skip. Can't safely gauge just how big a skip is needed.. If you don't have a drive, it would be best to consider a a wait n'return. Without a drive/front garden suitably accessible, you'd have the additional cost of a permit, too.

    • My bike (a ELOPS 120 step over classic from Decathlon) was stolen from outside The Belham this afternoon. I locked it up while I collected my kids, then the street was so busy that I left it there while I walked them home. Did a few other things at home, came back about 5.30pm and it was gone. Sharing just in case anyone sees it or finds it anywhere - it’s a few years old and the chain is a bit rusty/makes a clicking sound so maybe there’s a slight chance someone would dump it! Really annoying and just a reminder to be really careful with bikes. The picture shows the bike model from the Decathlon website.
    • Thanks, I didn't know that.  People are even more stupid than I thought then, if they are willing to wait hours in A&E for an ingrown toenail. I presume they don't get put at the front of the queue. Why isn't the 111 service more widely advertised? That puts you in touch with a doctor, who will advise on the phone or visit, and if necessary  you will be advised to go to A&E or they will arrange an ambulance to take you.
    • It hasn't devolved. It's in exactly the same state it was when it started.
    • A&E isn't allowed to turn people away at the triage stage, even people with hiccups and ingrown toenails... the kinds of ailments a GP might be able to advise against seeking emergency care for. https://www.england.nhs.uk/2025/12/aes-under-siege-from-hiccups-and-ingrowing-toenails/
