Observatory's Victorian terraces share walls with the houses on either side. Their renovations turn out old brick, plaster and timber. Every barrow load leaves through the front door.

Observatory skip hire on the road outside your cottage

Few Observatory cottages have a driveway or a front yard deep enough for a skip. Instead, it stands in the parking lane outside the house. That spot falls under the City permit rule.

Keep your own car off the space outside the door on delivery day.
Stack rubble near the front door so loading starts on day one.

Observatory access: parked cars and the barrow route

Parked cars line both sides of many Observatory streets. The truck lowers the skip into the gap outside your door. Terraced rows have no side access to the back yard. Rubble from a back room travels through the house to the kerb.

Observatory renovation and clear-out loads

Lean-to or back room removed3m³
Taking down an old lean-to behind a cottage yields brick, plaster and roof timber. A 3m³ midi takes it, rubble kept level with the top.
Wall plaster hacked off2m³
Stripping old plaster back to the brick makes a dusty, heavy load. Bag it or barrow it straight into the 2m³ mini.
Rental house cleared6m³
Furniture, carpets and boxes left in a shared rental are light for their size. One hire of the 6m³ builder's skip moves the lot.

Before you book a skip in Observatory

How much rubble fits the mini skip from an Observatory cottage?

30 barrows, loaded level, is the rough capacity of the 2m³ mini at R850. Brick and plaster are heavy for their bulk.

How does rubble get from an Observatory back room to the skip?

By barrow, through the house to the skip at the kerb. Lay board over floors and pad the door frames on the way.

Does an Observatory skip take old carpets and furniture too?

Yes. Carpets, furniture and offcut timber go in the R1,500 builder's skip, 6m³ in size. Brick and plaster belong in the smaller sizes.
