Ace Liftaway was established in 1988 by Philip and Melanie Liddell. They started with one truck and eight mini skips. Over a period of time the waste fleet has grown to various different veichles including skip lorries, roll on/roll off vehicles, tipper grab loaders, tipper bodies, tractor units and trailers, a 3.5 tonne mini skip training vehicle and a compactor truck. We have over 1500 skips of various sizes on hire in the south of Hampshire. We are based in Romsey and operate throughout Hampshire, Wiltshire and Dorset.
In 1996 Ace Liftaway Sanitation Services was established to complement the existing skip hire business. Since then the business has grown and we are able to offer a range of portable toilets and various sanitation units for every application including our range of VIP luxury portable toilets. These units are the best available on the market and are supported by dedicated and professional staff.
In 2002 we moved from its premises at Braishfield, Nr. Romsey, to Yokesford Hill Industrial Estate, at Belbins, Romsey. Here we have been able to build the most technically advanced Waste Recycling and Processing Facility. With this new facility we are able to recycle 90% of all waste brought into Yokesford Hill producing recycled aggregates to a consistent quality which allows re-use back into construction and civil engineering.
