About Bateman Grab Hire
Our Grab Hire service operates in Bristol, Bath and surrounding areas.
Grab Hire is perfect for the removal of Soil, Stone and variety of dug-out materials. The lorries give you flexibility when working on sites with limited access and resources. Most of our clients agree that the Grab hire is more practical than the alternative Skip solution because they haven't always got the space for a skip, they don't have the access for skips or it's for the removal of materials that need to be moved by hand and wheel-barrow.
