Just paid £130 for a builders skip.
9 out of 10 companies I contacted charged £130; one £150.
Seems expensive way of getting rid of a load of rubble, which will
probably get sold on as hardcore.
Was I done?
Any 'skip' know-how out there?

Consider two alternative possibilities:

I've taken tons of rubble to the council tip over the years in my
trailer. You need a decent trailer and something fairly hefty to tow
it, and you have to shovel the rubble out at the tip, but it doesn't
cost much, and I've always been able to get my trailer much closer to
the source of the muck than I could have got a skip.

When I had over a hundred tons to shift in a couple of days, I hired a
man with a lorry at a "per day" plus "per trip" rate. Plenty of lorries
with grabs advertised in our local free ads paper.
