Skip hire in Ware

Hiring a skip from Ware Skip Hire is far less work and stress than the weekend visit to your local household waste recycling centre

Stevenage Skip Hire sends all waste from Ware back to our primary recycling facility in Stevenage.

It is quite surprising just how many people still do battle at their local tip on their weekend off work. They will spend hour after hour sorting out their rubbish, loading it into their family car and then taking it all to the dump, why? Could it be that they think that the cost of hiring a skip is too high? Maybe they just aren't sure what size of skip they should hire, who knows?

The simple fact is that hiring a skip from Ware Skip Hire is so much easier, and it doesn't cost the earth either. Just think about how much your time is worth, think about the potential damage you could do to your vehicles with dirty, smelly or sharp edged rubbish and think about the cost in fuel and wear and tear going to the local tip. You may even have to do several trips to the dump if you can't fit all the rubbish into your car in one go and when this is all done, you can then spend ages cleaning your car, or pay someone else to do it. So do you still think that hiring a rubbish skip will be too expensive?

Now we have established that skip hire is not as expensive as you first thought, what about the issue of how big the skip should be? Very simple, you will have a pretty good idea as to what type of rubbish you have and how much of it there is to get rid of. Just tell us and we will be able to advise you as to what size skip would suit your needs. It's always better to go a little bigger than what you think you need, as we have found that once people have a skip delivered, they are consumed with an overwhelming desire to clean house!

Often people will hire a skip just to get rid of some waste furniture from the spare back bedroom, and before you know it, they are digging around in the loft, the cupboard under the stairs and the garden shed for any other rubbish they can find. After all, while you have a skip just outside your front door, you may as well make the most out of it and get shot of as much rubbish in one go as you can.

So to avoid all this hassle and for safe, convenient rubbish removal of bulky and heavy loads, it is well worth contacting us at Ware Skip Hire for some advice and a quote.

So if you live in or around the Ware area of Hertfordshire and want to take the worry and hassle out of disposing of your domestic or commercial waste and don't want to be hassled about when the local dump is open, why not give us a call at Ware Skip Hire. Don't waste hour after hour waiting in line at the local tip to offload your waste materials. Ware Skip Hire deal with all manner of domestic and commercial waste and dispose of it in an environmentally responsible way. Simply phone us and we can advise you as to the best size of skip for your needs.

Some Ware history

Archaeologists have shown that Ware has been occupied since at least the Mesolithic period, which ended in about 4000 BC. The Romans had a rather large settlement in Ware and foundations of several buildings, including a temple, and two cemeteries have been found. Ware was on Ermine Street, the Roman road from London to Lincoln. A well-preserved Roman skeleton of a teenage girl was found beside the road and researchers nicknamed her 'Ermintrude'. It has been argued that Ware is one of the oldest continuously occupied sites in Europe.

In the Domesday Book of 1086, Ware was named Waras from the natural weirs in the River Lea. The historic rivalry with nearby Hertford can be traced to 1090 when the Lady of Ware, who was named Petronilla de Grandmesnil, and styled as the Countess of Leicester, diverted Ermine Street from the Roman ford to create a High Street and new bridge over the Lea. The bailiff of Hertford tried to destroy the new bridge before it was recognised as part of the King's Highway by Henry III in person. In 1381, during the so-called Peasants' Revolt, forty two prominent Ware townsmen, led by the Vicar, joined others in destroying Hertford Castle, which was owned at that time by John of Gaunt. Many inns were established in the High Street, reflecting Ware's importance as a coaching stop on the Old North Road. The celebrated diarist Geoffrey Chaucer mentioned Ware twice in The Canterbury Tales. The Great Bed of Ware, cited by Shakespeare and other playwrights, was housed in a succession of Ware inns.

Mary I, known as Bloody Mary, had Thomas Fust burned at the stake in Ware marketplace for refusing to convert to Catholicism.

Seventeenth Century Ware

In the 17th century, Ware became the source of the New River, constructed to take fresh water into London. The Ware Mutiny occurred on 15 November 1647, between the First and the Second English Civil War at Corkbush Field, when soldiers were ordered to sign a declaration of loyalty to Thomas Fairfax, the commander-in-chief of the New Model Army, and the Army Council. When some with Leveller sympathies refused to do this they were arrested and court-martialled; one of the ringleaders, Trooper Richard Arnold, was shot. More than sixty children were sent to Ware after the 1666 Great Fire of London. In 1683, the infamous and ultimately unsuccessful Rye House Plot involved assassinating Charles II after he passed through Ware.

England's first turnpike, or toll road was established at Wadesmill, two miles north of Ware, in 1633 in an attempt to control the malting traffic into and from Ware. Ware had become a major malt making centre during the Civil War and soon became the most important supplier of malt to the Common Brewers of London, with its own quoted price on the London grain market, particularly for brown malt, used in brewing porter beer. In 1880 there were 107 malt kilns in Ware, more than twice as many as in any other Hertfordshire town. The last working malting in Ware, Pauls Malt at Broadmeads, closed in 1994. In November 1999, the bronze Malt maker statue by Oxfordshire sculptor, Jill Tweed, was unveiled outside St Mary's Church to commemorate the end of the industry and the Millennium. The unveiling was done by Hugo Page Croft, member of a famous Ware malting family; others involved in the project were Guy Horlock, chairman of the Stanstead Abbots maltsters, French & Jupps Ltd, and David Perman, curator of the Ware Museum.

Ware legends

Two legends associated with the 17th century are sometimes mentioned. One is that bargemen born in Ware were given the freedom of the River Thames, meaning that they could avoid the requirement of paying lock dues as a result of their transport of fresh water and food in during the Great Plague of London of 1666. In fact, Ware barges were freed from having to carry a pilot in the Port of London as a result of their relieving the Dutch blockade of the Thames in 1667, by bringing in coal brought overland from the Wash. The other legend is that Ware bargemen brought plague bodies out of London in 1666 and interred them at the Buryfield. The truth is that the Burymead was mentioned as early as 1513 and referred to the present Glaxo site where a number of Roman cemeteries have been found; the Buryfield Recreation Ground was established in 1931 on charity land, the Bell Close, now partly covered by the GSK multi-storey car park.

At the end of the 19th century, malt-making in Ware was joined by two other industries. In 1886, Dennis Wickham, member of a brewing family, established a bottling plant which in 1900 moved to Viaduct Road and became an engineering company. The firm of D. Wickham & Co. became manufacturers of railcars and construction equipment, closing in 1991. In 1898, the pharmaceutical company, Allen & Hanburys, acquired a lease on the Ware corn mill and began building a medicines, dried milk and health foods factory at the nearby Buryfield. A new plant for pharmaceutical research and development was built in Park Road during World War II. Allenburys, as it was known, was merged with Glaxo in 1958 and is now part of GlaxoSmithKline.

The Ware Town Council coat of arms was issued in 1956 by the College of Arms to Ware Urban District Council, and transferred to Ware Town Council in 1975. The arms are derived from matters with which Ware is associated, the barge rudders reference the bargemen of Ware, with the red and white striping on the rudders being the livery colours of the City of London, associating the Ware bargemen's free entry rights to that City; the crossed coach horns reference the town's long history as a coaching town; and the sheaves of barley reference the malting history of Ware. The motto "cave", which is Latin for "beware", was suggested by the College of Heralds, with the intent of it being a pun on the town's name.
