One grab lorry visit clears what would take several skip swaps, without a skip permit or pavement space tying up the arcade's tight service lanes.

Westbourne sits between Branksome and Bournemouth town centre, its shopping streets built up around the Grade II listed Victorian Arcade, and it's an area we cover regularly.
Westbourne's mix of period villas near Alum Chine, flats and maisonettes above the boutiques on Poole Road and Seamoor Road, and the odd coach house conversion off the older side streets, means the waste we're asked to shift varies from one job to the next. A grab lorry handles all of it without needing a skip permit or pavement space on streets where parking and loading bays are already tight.
We also cover the areas bordering Westbourne, including West Cliff, Canford Cliffs and Lower Parkstone, so whether your job is a garden clearance near the chine or a shopfront refit close to the arcade, we can usually get a lorry to you the same day.
Quick Skips has been shifting waste across Dorset and Hampshire since 1993, and Westbourne falls within our regular working area alongside our home patch around Wimborne and the wider Poole-Bournemouth conurbation.
A skip needs pavement space and, on the road, a permit; a grab lorry pulls up, reaches over a wall or into a courtyard, and loads itself while you get on with the job.
Because the arm does the lifting, nobody on site is stuck barrowing rubble to a skip all afternoon. That's useful around Westbourne's arcade and the parade of shops on Seamoor Road, where there's rarely anywhere to leave a skip without blocking a loading bay or a neighbouring boutique's frontage.
What we collect in Westbourne
Dug out for a basement, garden redesign or new driveway near Alum Chine? We'll pull the spoil straight off site rather than leaving it piled against the fence.
Knocked-through walls, old bases and demolition debris from a Westbourne villa renovation loaded and gone in one trip, no skip permit or pavement space required.
Overgrown hedging, turf lifts and landscaping spoil cleared quickly from the gardens running down towards Alum Chine, whether it's a tidy-up or a full redesign.
Fit-out waste, old shelving and building debris cleared from cafes, boutiques and units around the arcade, with collections scheduled around your trading hours wherever possible.
Usually not. The grab loads and leaves in the same visit, so unlike a skip left on the road for a week, there's nothing sitting there requiring a permit. If your project does need the lorry to wait near the arcade or on a restricted stretch, tell us when you book and we'll plan around it.
A skip sits on site until it's full, then gets collected on a separate trip. A grab lorry turns up, its arm loads the waste directly from where it's piled, and it drives off the same day. For flat conversions and shopfront refits around Westbourne, that usually works out faster and needs far less kerb space.
In most cases, yes. The hydraulic arm has a long reach and can lift over garden walls, fences and courtyard gates, so material doesn't have to be carried out to the road first, which matters on Westbourne's tighter plots near the chine.
Soil, clay, subsoil, hardcore, brick and concrete rubble, general builders' waste and green waste from garden clearances. If you're not sure whether something's suitable, give us a call and describe it and we'll confirm.
Yes. We work right across Westbourne, from the shops and cafes around Poole Road and Seamoor Road to the residential streets and villas nearer Alum Chine and the Branksome border.
Where it can be, yes. We sort what we collect wherever possible and can talk you through disposal routes if it matters for your project sign-off.
A single visit typically shifts the equivalent of several standard skips, though the exact volume depends on how dense the material is, soil and rubble weigh in faster than a load of the same size in garden waste.
Yes, we're used to working around Westbourne's shopping streets. We'll aim to schedule collections outside your busiest trading hours wherever the job allows.
Both. If your job needs fresh sub-base, topsoil or hardcore brought in as well as spoil taken out, we can arrange delivery alongside the grab collection.
Same-day is often possible depending on availability, and otherwise we'll usually have a slot free the next working day. Call the office or drop us a WhatsApp message for the fastest answer.
Tell us what needs shifting and we'll give you a straight answer on timing and cost.
Call the office, email us, or drop us a WhatsApp message, whichever's quickest for you. We'll confirm whether same-day is possible, talk through access if your courtyard or side return is tight, and get a lorry booked in.
