Batesy Skip Hire Reviews

What people say about delivery

Delivery performance is broadly reliable, but collection represents a significant pain point for many customers. Delayed pickups of several days or more are a recurring complaint, with some suspecting intentional delays to inflate charges, whilst delivery tends to be prompt and appreciated. Staff attitudes vary from helpful and professional to rude and dismissive.

What people say about service & professionalism

Overall assessment of the company is overwhelmingly negative, with the vast majority of reviewers citing unprofessional and rude phone staff as a primary concern. Customers report significant issues with collection delays, poor communication, unresolved complaints and unhelpful management, leading most to state they would not recommend or use the operator again.
