hi tony.
in your block paving pages,you say a typical builders skip holds approx 4.5m3 excavated material,is that a 6 yard builders skip or bigger?

I think that's a 6-yard skip, the 'bog-standard' size supplied by almost every skip supplier up and down the country.

Some claim they are 8 cubic yard skips: I can't argue as I don't work with antiquated imperial measurements, but I know from our own measurements on site that we can get, on average, 4.5 cubic metres of excavated material into each skip. Remember; it bulks up when dug, and 4.5 m³ taken from the ground might actually be 5 or 6 m³ when loaded into a skip.
