TLC Grab Hire
TLC Grab Hire
We clear soil, hardcore, muck away and site waste across Bristol and surrounding areas. Fixed price on the phone, paperwork the same day, and a lorry that actually turns up.
Usually, yes. Most jobs are loaded from the side as we pull up alongside — the lorry rarely needs to back onto a drive or lawn. Here is what 6.5 metres of reach actually looks like, from the side and from the front.
If it came out of the ground or off a building, we will almost certainly take it. Mixed loads are fine — we sort at the transfer station.
Garden digs, foundations, driveway excavations and landscaping strip-outs.
Broken slabs, brick, block, old patios, crushed concrete and tarmac planings.
Groundworks and basement digs cleared as fast as you can fill the pile.
Quarried, recycled, Type 1, 6F5, dust, topsoil and many more. Tipped or grabbed off exactly where you need it.
Send a photo on WhatsApp to 07814 230717 and we will tell you straight away.
Skips win for small, slow jobs you fill over a fortnight. For anything past a couple of tonnes a grab is usually cheaper and faster — and you are not the one doing the shovelling.

Bristol and everything inside roughly 25 miles. If you are not on the list, ask anyway — we probably still reach you.
It depends what is in the load and how far the nearest licensed tip is, but a typical 12-tonne load in and around Bristol starts from £250 plus VAT — £300 all in. Ring us with a postcode and you will have a firm number inside a minute.
Almost never. The lorry loads from the road and leaves, so nothing is left standing on the highway. If access is unusually tight we will flag it before booking you in.
Same day is often possible if you catch us early, and next day is standard. We start from 7am for site work.
With 6.5 metres of reach we work over most walls, hedges and fences without coming onto the property. Send a photo of the access from the road and we will confirm before you commit to anything.
Yes. We will often take your muck away and come back with Type 1 or topsoil on the same visit, which saves you a separate delivery charge.
We are a registered waste carrier (CBDU542944) and every load is tipped at a licensed facility. Your waste transfer note is emailed the same day.
