Clean and tidy your Offley home with our skip hire

Making the most of your home and garden space can be difficult if you have huge amounts of waste materials that have built up over a period of time. We all need to have a de clutter from time to time, and hiring a skip for your Offley property is the perfect way to deal with this task.

If most of us have a gradual build up of rubbish in our homes and gardens, imagine how big the problem can become for people who tend to hoard rubbish. We recently delivered to a client from Offley who had hired a skip for their brother who had become a hoarder. He simply could not bring himself to throw anything away. He had literally thousands of newspapers and magazines staked in every part of his home. The garden was also heavily cluttered with bails of paper and these were making perfect conditions for rats and mice to nest.

Our Offley client actually hired two skips from us to clear her brother's home, but stated that even though the property would be cleared by her and other family members, her brother would simply hoard more in the future, so it looks like we'll be returning to Offley again in the not too distant future.

Where is Offley?

Offley is a parish in Hertfordshire, between Hitchin and Luton. The main village is Great Offley, and the parish also contains the nearby hamlets of Little Offley and The Flints. In the south-west of the parish, near Luton, there are the hamlets of Cockernhoe, Mangrove Green and Tea Green, and also the Putteridge Bury estate.

Great Offley

Great Offley lies on the top of a chalk escarpment ridge 521 feet above sea level in the centre of the parish. This point is also the most north eastern ridge of the Chiltern Hills, and its population is rather small at less than seven hundred residents.

Offa, King of Mercia in the 8th century, is said to have built a palace here and thus gave his name to the village. There is a very interesting group of buildings, including Offley Place, which was rebuilt in 1810 but which retains a Tudor porch and a 17th-century wing.

The church in Great Offley, named after St. Mary Magdalene contains some incredibly attractive monuments. Its nave is Early English, and the chancel was recased and its interior built by Sir Thomas Salusbury in the 18th century. The tower of the church dates from about 1800.

The modern village of Offley

Offley was by-passed by the A505 dual carriageway in the 1970s. Close to the centre of Offley is a water tower, which is painted white in response to a campaign started by a Liberal Democrat councillor candidate. Another landmark, within several hundred feet of the water tower, is a radio mast. It is often mistakenly identified as being part of the BT chain that includes Zouches Farm on Blows Down near Luton, but it is in fact owned by Arqiva and used by utility companies, the next one west being located in Isle of Wight Lane, on Dunstable Downs. Its use seems to have decreased in recent years with the number of microwave radio dishes declining.

The village of Offley has its own telephone exchange which is located on Offley Hill. The Hitchin Yeshiva, a Jewish rabbinical school, is based here.

Agriculture and wildlife of Offley

The land use in Offley is a mixture of arable, and woodland with some minor seasonal grazing for beef cattle and sheep. To the east of Offley is part of the King's Walden estate. During the winter month's pheasant and partridge shooting takes place here with several shooting syndicates operating to the north of the village as well as a big shoot organised by King's Walden Estate.

Red kites along with common buzzard and sparrow hawks can be seen in the area of Offley. All these birds of prey were once rarely seen in Britain, but can now be seen regularly in and around the Offley area.

Farming on the decline in Offley

Many of the farms in Offley are no longer used for agriculture and some have been sold off for housing development. The fields being taken over by farms at a greater distance, this has happened due to technological advances which make small farms un-economical to run. Several farms up until the 1970s had herds of dairy cattle but low milk prices forced many farms to turn to arable farming instead.

Many land and farm owners are now looking into the possibility of renting out or selling their land for the purpose of solar farms being built instead of traditional farms.

So, if you live in or around the Offley area and require a skip to clear away your rubbish, why not give us a call today?
