Muck Away in Leatherhead | A Complete Grab Hire and Tipper Hire Service from TJD Grab Services

Grab hire and tipper hire are services used by construction companies in the Leatherhead area and across Surrey because they’re valuable for demolition, the movement of earth and the removal of waste.

But these aren’t the only benefits to grab hire. If you run a business and plan to use us as aggregate suppliers too, we can make a ballast, sand, scalping, stone or topsoil delivery, anywhere in Leatherhead, at a time to suit you.

A spoil clearance is the removal of land waste and debris from a domestic or commercial site. Muck away is the industry term for this service but, instead of dealing with general waste, it involves the use of a grab lorry to collect spoil from an earth-moving project.

Skips provide ample space for spoil clearances of up to 40 cubic yards in volume but anything above this will need a grab lorry. A muck away project in a confined area where there isn’t enough space for a grab hire vehicle can make use of our tipper hire trucks and mini diggers instead.

Grab hire is a method where the lorry “grabs” and transports materials (or aggregates) from sites in the Leatherhead area to licensed waste transfer stations. The grab lorry has a bucket fitted to the end of a hydraulic arm, which lifts material onto the main body of the vehicle. TJD Grab Services can supply a lorry and a trained operator for earthworks and for muck away projects – domestic or commercial.

On the subject of waste transfer stations, these are a continuous source of secondary materials for aggregate suppliers. If you order a secondary aggregate or a secondary topsoil delivery through our company, it’s almost certain that the material once passed through one of these stations.

Compared to skips, a grab lorry is more efficient in terms of time and, over a longer period, in terms of cost too. Grab hire allows our customers to have their muck away needs managed quickly, and with the least amount of disruption to their onsite operations.

  • A six-wheeled grab lorry can handle twice the earth clearance volume of a standard-sized skip, while an eight-wheeled grab hire vehicle can clear three times as much material or muck away spoil from sites in the Leatherhead area.

  • A grab lorry serves multiple purposes and allows for greater manoeuvrability, even in tight spaces. This makes it easier to clear spoil from muck away jobs, or to make an aggregate or topsoil delivery. Lorries can even unload over walls and fences.

  • Spoil clearances take longer if you spend hours lifting material into a skip or loading it onto a wheelbarrow. The hydraulic arm on a grab lorry does the same amount of work in a fraction of the time to save on working hours and manpower costs.

  • Aggregate suppliers deliver in bagged or loose loads so customers in the Leatherhead area have more options available to them. Grab hire is obviously one of those options when it comes to bagged loads, but tipper trucks work well for loose loads.

  • Some skip hire companies put restrictions on materials and weights so, if you have a muck away project to deal with, it’s better to use a grab hire service. TJD Grab Services loads spoil onto a grab lorry, or onto tipper hire trucks, for a faster removal.

  • Customers who choose TJD Grab Services for an aggregate or topsoil delivery benefit from free drop-offs in the Leatherhead area. This is rare with most aggregate suppliers, but we deal with multiple material sources in a wider range of locations.

  • If a recent site clearance has left spoil piled in one area and you don’t want to spend extra time loading it into bags or into a vehicle, a grab hire truck can load it within minutes – even with waste stored in areas that have access difficulties.

  • If you don’t have the space for a skip or the time to organise a permit for positioning one at the roadside, consider grab hire instead. The hydraulic arm of a grab lorry has a long reach and can access enclosed spaces for prompt spoil clearances.

  • Consider how long it takes to put materials and muck away waste into a skip. If you need more than one skip at your Leatherhead site, it could take a whole day or even more to load them. We complete spoil clearances in as little as 30 minutes with a grab lorry.
