Skip was half full and cost £350 . Everything we planned to remove didn't go as was a project on the weekend with family. Very disappointed wasnt even qtr full 😕”

“To many add ins will be going elsewhere after 20 years of use”

Helpful Report

“Very disappointing. Unable to deliver skip having done so previously. Fortunately a competitor was able to deliver the service at a lower cost.”

Helpful Report

“Was my first time using a skip from here. I was told 3 dates this week that it would be collected, waited in all 3 days for it not to be collected and no explanation for this. Unfortunately, I have now lost out on 3 days work to be offered £35 to compensate for this.”

Helpful Report

Hi, firstly we can only apologize for the delay in picking up your skip, as discussed on the phone , there was a system error and the collection was not visible to transport. Also as discussed a 25% refund has been given in light of this due to the error made. again we can only apologize for any inconvenience caused. Kind regards, Dunmow group.

“Everything was fine until I realised that mixed construction did not include Plasterboard. When ordering a second skip I discussed the situation and as the skip was full I was charged £88 extra, and the loyalty discount code Loyal5 can't be applied as it's not an online order. I won't be using Dunmow skip's again as their customer service is non existent.”

Helpful Report

Hi Michael, i can only apologize that it was not clear to you that plasterboard has to be separate to other waste. This would of been on the booking platform when you booked through our website and we did offer a number of alternatives for you to resolve the situation. we are happy to discuss this further if this is not resolved for you, please do give us a call on 01245 466646. We look forward to hearing from you. many thanks The Dunmow Group.

“Unreliable poor service. 4 days ago I booked my skip is to be collected today, didnot turnup today , so when i Phoned them ,said they cannot collect today. I have to take time off for this collection.I used them twice before, those were ok. No more skip from them”

Helpful Report

Good afternoon my apologies this was not collected today, as discussed on the phone with yourself this is being collected first thing tomorrow morning and i can only apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. we do advise collections can take up to a couple of days. if you would like to discuss this further please do call us on 01245 466646. Kind Regards Dunmow Group

“I was highly disappointed. To think Dunmow group was recommended and I got a very terrible service. They came to deliver the skip and couldn’t place it in the same place it was placed the last time I ordered they left with the skip and processed a refund WITHOUT speaking to me!!!”

Helpful Report

Hi Joyce i can only apologise for the service you have received, i assure you this is not our usual standard of service. there should have been more communication with yourself. if there is anything we can do to resolve this for you please do give us a call on 01245 466646. my apologies again for any inconvenience that may have been caused. Kind Regards Dunmow Group

“Collection date changed without notification, so personal items were thrown out the skip, and travellers helping themselves.”

Helpful Report

Hi my apologies there was no communication around your collection of your skip, we do advise collections can take up to a few days but there should have been a phone call to notify you of the change in date. i can only apologise this is not our normal practise. please do give us a call on 01245 466646 and we can discuss this further for you. kind regards Dunmow Group

“These people never collect a skip when requested. It sits there for days and days after promised collection and you just get fobbed off with excuses. Would never use again. Not recommended.”

Helpful Report

Hi, i can only apologise for the service you have received. we endeavour to collect skips as quickly as possible and to communicate with our customers at every point of the journey. please do give us a call so we can discuss this further and rectify any problems you may have had on 01245 466646. kind regards Dunmow Group

“Well, this was a good company until recently, i used to call and get skips dropped and collected at the drop of a hat. Recently however getting a skip is the easy part, change over mostly ok, but getting a collection is like pulling teeth. Booked my collection on 14th July and was told it would happen on the following Tuesday, phone call from them at around 4pm on the Tuesday saying its been rolled over and would be collected latest Friday, WTF seriously, Phoned today Thursday to confirm and was told between 3 and 5pm today, No collection and no call. From the biggest skip company in Essex i would expect more and this is becoming a common occurrence. I'm only a small company and my customers are important to me, so when i cant even tell them when they can have there drive back how does this make me look. Sorry Dunmow Skips i may not spend much with you but i think its time to go elsewhere.”

Helpful Report

Hi, i can only apologise in the service you have received lately, i assure you this is not the new normal. we value all of our customers big and small, please do give us a call and we will do our utmost to rectify this for you moving forward on 01245 466646. kind regards Dunmow Group

“Having used Dunmow various times, I was incredibly disappointed on this occasion. I booked online the night before for next day delivery, but then got a phone call the next morning I was expecting my skip to say that delivery wasn’t possible until the following day! The frustrating thing is that it was still possible to book online for same day delivery, even though they couldn’t honour my delivery slot! To top it off, it then took 5 working days for my £222 to be refunded! Very very disappointed with the service on this occasion, there seemed to be no effort to fix or rectify the issues with the online booking system that allowed such over booking.”

Helpful Report

Hi Dan i can only apologise for the website allowing you to book when the availability was not there, i can assure you this is not our usual practise and will endeavour to make sure this does not happen again. we will look into the booking system to make sure this is not a reoccurrence. Again apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. if there is anything we can do please do give us a call on 01245 466646 to discuss further. Kind Regards The Dunmow Group

“I booked and paid £330 over the phone for a 6yd skip and agreed to have it delivered the following week. Within 2 hours I had an email stating that “due to an oversight” by the person that I booked it with and the transport manager, they were unable to provide a skip as they would have to reverse on to a pavement to drop it where I needed it. That’s understandable and we agreed to a full refund which they said would take 3-5 days! That on its own is bad enough as I needed the money back to arrange another skip and it wasn’t me that decided to cancel it! After no communication for 5 days I rang and got told that the refund only got processed the day before and would take a further 3-5 days to process! I’m now in the situation where I can’t do the work I had planned as the money I need for a skip is sitting in Dunmow Groups account probably earning interest as we speak and not only that I’m possibly looking at another week before I get my refund as it’s a bank holiday too! Absolutely disgusted with all of this and would urge anyone I know not to use them!!”

Helpful Report

Hi Craig i can only apologise in the delay in your refund, i assure you this is not our standard practise. i appreciate your frustration and the unfortunate timing around the bank holiday as well. Please be assured this is not something that will happen again. if there is anything else i can do for you or if you would like to discuss this further please give us a call on 01245 466646. again my apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. kind regards The Dunmow Group

“Ordered a skip online said it was for 14 days, didn't get 14 days hire. Staff didn't care when I questioned it thought it was funny.”

Helpful Report

Hi Ian, my apologies you felt our staff didn't care, this is not the case and we are sorry if it came across this way to you. in regard to the 14 day hire terms , where your skip was delivered on 5th Dec at 8.12am and collected on the 19th Dec at 7.21am , i can only apologise for the hour less on your 14 day hire , we do our best to keep these collections as efficient as possible and plan our drivers work to what works logistically on the day, so the times can differ ever so slightly. We will endeavour to keep this as accurate as possible moving forward and again my apologies for the 1 hour shortage on your 14 days. Kind regards, Dunmow Group

“Job not done on time After 3 days I called and was told the waste had been collected which it had not They did send a van to collect the waste but only after I’d called to complain”

Helpful Report

Hi Paul , Our apologies that there was a delay in the collection of your items on our waste collection service, I assure you this was an isolated incident and when you called in to reconfirm the collection date , we were under the impression this had been resolved for you. If you would like to discuss this further, please call our office on 01245 466646 and we would be happy to try and resolve this for you. many thanks Dunmow group

“Dunmow Group have missed the agreed pickup date which has left me with a problem. The skip was also leaking Yellow Paint - now is all over my Block Paving - so not impressed.”

Helpful Report

“I am just a woman, not a man and not a builder! I phoned them to ask for a skip they told me none were available. Phoned another company with a Chelmsford number but is in Hatfield as I found out later. Guess who delivered and who came to pick up the skip? yes Dunmow Skip so they obviously have an arrangement with this company. I ordered a 4 yards skip and was delivered a 2 yards one I paid just under £300. Yes overdone by Dunmow skip who obviously will not let this review there. Honesty is questionable.”
