When the warmer weather arrives, it makes people think about clearing out their garages and sheds. These two spaces frequently become overloaded with rubbish that has built up over several years. Part used tins of paint, offcuts of timber from various DIY jobs and anything else that you do not want to clutter up your Graveley home, all seem to end up in the shed or garage. Dragging all this rubbish out seems to take forever as it is, but then having to load up the car and take it to the local dump makes the job even less enjoyable.
The other thing about putting all this rubbish in your car is that it is probably dirty, covered in spiders and may damage the interior of your vehicle.
One also has to take the time it takes to travel back and forth to the tip, often having to wait for what seems like an eternity for your turn to offload your waste. Worse still, the possibilities of getting a puncture at the tip are pretty high as one never knows what the previous vehicle has left discarded on the forecourt. Placing it all into a hired skip from Graveley Skip Hire is without a doubt, the best way to go. The skip will be delivered to and placed on the drive or outside your Graveley property by our fully trained staff, all you have to do is load the skip up with all your unwanted waste materials and leave us to do the rest.
Graveley is a peaceful little village and civil parish about four miles east of Hitchin and two miles north of Stevenage in Hertfordshire. The parish of Graveley also includes the hamlet of Chesfield. The population of the Graveley parish in the 2021 census was a mere four hundred and ninety-eight.
Graveley is mentioned in the Domesday Book. It was granted by William the Conqueror to Goisbert of Beauvais. This proved to be a common theme after the Conquest, with much of England being gifted to French noblemen who had helped William take the English Crown in 1066.
The village of Graveley is built on a Roman road, which developed into a section of the Great North Road. This section of the road was managed by the Stevenage and Biggleswade Turnpike Trust in the 18th century; one of their milestones survives in the village, reporting that it is thirty-three miles from London.
Much to the delight of Graveley residents, the village was by-passed by the A1(M) motorway in the 1960s.
The medieval church in Graveley is of flint construction and is a popular tourist attraction and is extensively photographed by visitors who marvel at the beauty of the hues exhibited in the natural flint stones that form the base of this wonderful church.
There are a number of extremely attractive cottages and houses in and around the village of Graveley, including The George and Dragon pub, which has an 18th-century facade, and The Wagon & Horses. At one time there were four pubs, but two have now closed down. Sadly, many of our pubs, even the ancient ones that have been plying their trade for centuries are being lost. The cost of modern living and the cheaper prices for beer, wine and spirits in the supermarkets is proving to much of a challenge for the pubs who are now seen as extremely expensive places to visit on a regular basis.
The parish absorbed the site of a lost settlement, Chesfield or Chivesfield), about a mile to the east of Graveley; little remains there apart from the ruined walls of its 14th-century church, a farm and a couple of cottages. Graveley and Chesfield had been separate parishes but were united in 1445.
In 1953, the southern part of Graveley parish, including Corey's Mill and the future site of the Lister Hospital, was transferred to become part of Stevenage Urban District.
In 2011, Graveley parish ceded some of its territory to become the new civil parish of Great Ashby.
There is always a feeling of relief and achievement when you can stand back and look at a nice clean and tidy shed or garage. Unfortunately, it is getting it to that state that often makes people put off doing it in the first place. Let us face it, our spare time is precious, and we would rather spend it with our families or pursuing our favourite pastime. The very last thing we want to do on our days off is to be loading up the car and sitting in a queue at the local household waste recycling plant. A hired skip from Graveley Skip Hire will give you back control over your leisure time.
