Re: Waste through a terrace house.

cs100, wheelie bins and a load of dust sheets, but as said manage expectation, add a man to the job, and make it clear to the guys that care is required. where abouts are you?

We get these from time to time. If it's a straight run through the house it's not much different to dragging out through a side passage in reality. We tell the customer to tape cardboard everywhere. We explain that we will do our best to be careful but the risk is theirs. Sheets on the floor are a waste of time, they just get kicked up. Cardboard is the best solution taped down. We keep the brash as big as possible and just pull it through. Providing they have done a good job with the tape it isn't a problem.

A little bonfire after 6.00pm is the best bet - IF POSSIBLE

The 6pm rule was abolished a long time ago around here.

I've done one, took a greenmech mini chipper through the house chipped it into the corner of a patio and carried the chip out in gorilla tubs

[Isabelle68]

Ive had to do it quite a few times in and around the sunderland area its always a nightmare! Dustsheets, small handfulls, gingerley manouvering through doorways! And you feel as awkward as hell!! Look fo any other way possible and try and involve the neighbours

[Chipperclown]

Its a London based job, though I am in Herts, thanks all, for the advice to date it should be interesting should I take job on!! Mini chipper isn't something I have so will investigate hiring/buying one. Unfortunately the neighbours are not english speaking so this is not an option.

[Gary Prentice]

Did one in Kensington while the house was being renovated. Couldn't even park so everything got sawn up in a skip.

 

The job was poorly planned because the painters were in the same day; scenes from the Karate Kid, paint on - paint off.

 

Agree with the cardboard and we've used the long heavy duty plastic carpet protectors too. It's amusing dragging through someones kitchen while they're preparing and eating breakfast.

My costs are a factor as ever, the time it will take to transit have to be considered but in fairness and at this early stage the customer has already stated this for me!!
