MUCK AWAY
KINGSTON

Professional Grab Hire & Waste Clearance in Kingston

LG Grab Hire is the premier provider of muck away, waste clearance, and aggregate delivery services for the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. Strategically located at 32 Lower Shott, Leatherhead (KT23 4NW), we are just a short drive up the A243, allowing us to provide rapid response solutions for construction sites, driveway renovations, and utility works across KT1, KT2, KT3, KT4, KT5, KT6, and KT9.

Unlike national brokers who simply farm out work to the lowest bidder, we are a local Surrey-based fleet. We own our lorries, we employ our drivers, and we understand the specific logistical challenges of operating heavy goods vehicles in Kingston—from the tight residential avenues of Surbiton to the busy red routes of the A307 Portsmouth Road.

The Kingston Skip vs. Grab Debate

For many residents and contractors in Kingston, hiring a skip has become increasingly difficult and expensive. The Royal Borough of Kingston Council enforces strict regulations regarding skips placed on the public highway, which can make a simple driveway project a bureaucratic nightmare.

The Verdict: Our grab lorries hold roughly the equivalent of two to three 8-yard skips. When you factor in the cost of two skips plus two permits (£226+ in fees alone), a Grab Lorry is almost always the cheaper, faster, and less stressful option.

Understanding Kingston's Geology: "London Clay"

The geology of Kingston, particularly around Surbiton, Tolworth, and Chessington, is dominated by heavy London Clay. If you have ever tried to dig a foundation or swimming pool in this area, you know that this soil is incredibly dense, sticky, and heavy.

Loading heavy clay into a skip by hand is back-breaking work. Furthermore, skips have weight limits; a standard 8-yard builders' skip often hits its weight limit long before it is full when dealing with wet clay. Our 8-wheel grab lorries are designed for this exact material. We can lift 16 tonnes of heavy clay in a single load, reaching over walls and fences (up to 6 meters) to pick up waste directly from your garden or site.

Meet Our Fleet: State-of-the-Art Grab Lorries

We operate a modern fleet of 8-wheel Tipper Grabs, primarily Scania and DAF chassis vehicles. These machines are the workhorses of the construction industry, but we maintain ours to showroom standards.

• ULEZ Compliant: Kingston is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone. Our entire fleet is Euro 6 compliant, meaning we pay no ULEZ charges—savings we pass on to you.
• Long Reach Cranes: Fitted with Epsilon cranes, we can reach approximately 6 to 7 meters from the side of the vehicle. This allows us to grab waste over high fences, hedges, or even from behind other parked cars.
• Safety Systems: Kingston is a "Mini Holland" borough with extensive cycle lanes (e.g., Portsmouth Road). Our trucks are equipped with 360-degree camera systems and audible left-turn warnings to ensure the safety of cyclists and pedestrians in busy town centers.
• Load Capacity: Each vehicle can legally carry up to 16 tonnes of "muck" (inert waste) or aggregates.
