It happens more often than you might think.
You order a skip.
You start filling it.
Then the clear-out gets bigger.
The DIY project creates more waste than expected.
The garage contains more junk than you remembered.
Before you know it, the skip is overflowing.
Unfortunately, skips can’t legally be collected if they are loaded above the fill line.
That’s where our new Skip Topper Service comes in.
What Is A Skip Topper Service?
Our Skip Topper Service is part of Lostock Load & Go.
If you’ve overfilled your skip, we’ll send our team with one of our caged tipper vehicles to remove the excess waste.
Once the extra material has been removed, the skip can be collected safely and legally.
Simple.
No need to order another skip.
No need to unload it yourself.
No stress.
A Real Example
This week, Taylor and Derek attended a customer whose skip had become overloaded during a house clearance.
As the photos show, the customer simply underestimated how much waste the project would generate.
It’s a common problem.
The skip was full and then some.
Our team attended with the caged tipper vehicle, removed the excess material and brought the skip back within legal transport limits.
Problem solved.
Why Can’t An Overfilled Skip Be Collected?
Many customers don’t realise that skips have a legal fill line.
If waste is piled above the sides of the skip:
- The load may become unstable during transport
- Material can fall from the vehicle
- It creates a road safety risk
- The skip cannot be legally transported
As frustrating as it can be, the rules are there for good reason.
A Faster Alternative To Ordering Another Skip
Traditionally, customers had two options:
- Remove the excess waste themselves
- Order another skip
Neither option is ideal.
The Skip Topper Service gives customers a third option.
We simply remove the excess material and leave the rest of the skip in place.
For many customers, it’s the quickest and most cost-effective solution.
Part Of Our Load & Go Service
Load & Go was designed for situations exactly like this.
Sometimes customers don’t need a skip.
Sometimes they need help with waste that won’t fit in the skip they’ve already got.
Our caged tipper vehicles are perfect for removing:
- Excess skip waste
- Furniture
- Cardboard
- Packaging
- Garage clearance items
- House clearance items
- DIY waste
If it needs removing, we’ll usually find a solution.

Send us a photo and we’ll advise on the best option.
In many cases, our Skip Topper Service can quickly remove the excess waste and get your project moving again.
Because sometimes the job turns out bigger than expected.
And that’s exactly why Lostock Load & Go exists.
