Raybell & Sons: Skip Hire, Grab Hire and Recycling in Northampton

Order a skip from us as a domestic customer and we won’t just drop it on your drive and leave. We’ll arrange the road permit with the council if it needs to sit on the highway, deliver it the same day you order in most cases, and if loading it yourself isn’t practical, we can provide manual labour to help you fill it. It’s a level of hand-holding most skip firms don’t bother offering.

Independent for Over 30 Years

Raybell & Sons has been, and still is, a fully independent business based in Northampton for more than 30 years, and we’ve built our reputation on staying at the forefront of recycling and waste management rather than standing still. We work across Northamptonshire and into the surrounding counties, and we like to think that’s why we’ve become Northamptonshire’s leading skip hire company, backed by a friendly, genuinely efficient customer services team. Staying independent has meant we’ve never had to answer to a national head office or a set of shareholders chasing volume targets — decisions about how we treat customers get made locally, by people who actually know the area.

Skip Hire for Every Size of Job

We supply skips from 2 yards right up to 40-yard roll-on roll-off containers, covering everything from a small domestic clear-out to major commercial and construction projects. Whatever size you land on, we handle delivery and collection ourselves rather than subcontracting it out to someone else, and if you’re not sure which size actually fits your job, our customer services team will talk you through it before you book.

Grab Hire, Earth Moving and Aggregates

Beyond skips, we offer grab hire for muckaway and bulk waste removal, earth moving and groundworks services, and aggregates supply for construction and landscaping projects. It means a contractor working on a larger site can source their skip, their grab lorry and their aggregates from the same local company, rather than juggling separate suppliers.

Bring Your Waste to Us

If you’d rather not hire a skip at all, you can bring your waste directly to us and drop it off. We’ll pay you for scrap metal, though general waste is charged for, and we accept specific items including tyres, lithium batteries and refrigerators that a lot of standard skips won’t take. Everything collected, whether by skip or by drop-off, goes back to our own recycling facility, so we’re handling your waste’s onward journey ourselves rather than passing it to a third party.

More Than Skips: Snow Clearing, Jet Washing and Man & Van

We’ve also expanded into services that go beyond traditional waste management, including snow clearing, jet washing and a man and van service for smaller jobs that don’t need a full skip. It reflects how we’ve grown over 30 years: adding services our existing customers actually asked for, rather than sticking rigidly to what we started out doing.

What Our Customers Say

After more than three decades in business, we’ve built plenty of long-standing relationships with customers who come back to us job after job. One customer told us Bob and his team worked patiently through a lengthy insurance claim delay on a concrete path removal and gravel replacement, and said Bob and his excellent team had earned their five stars, while also praising Andrea in the office as consistently super-helpful. Like any company handling this volume of deliveries and collections, we don’t always get it right for every single customer, and we take it seriously when we don’t, but the overwhelming pattern in our feedback is long-term loyalty from people who’ve used us more than once.

Areas We Cover

We’re based in Northampton and cover all of Northamptonshire, with services extending into the surrounding counties subject to a small surcharge for the extra distance.

Get in Touch

Contact us to book a skip, arrange grab hire, or ask about dropping waste off directly. We’re happy to talk through road permits, sizing and same-day availability before you commit to anything.

Whether you’re a homeowner tackling a DIY project or a contractor running a full site, the same recycling facility and the same local team sit behind every job we take on. Thirty years is long enough to have made most of the mistakes a skip company can make and learned from them — we’d rather put that experience to work for you than have you find out the hard way with someone else.
