Skrap provides an aggregation service that matches construction firms seeking waste services (such as skip hire) with suppliers able to meet their needs through a mobile app. The founders launched the business in 2017 after encountering persistent waste-service problems in their residential construction business. The app already lists hundreds of suppliers across London, Manchester and Birmingham and has completed more than 10,000 deliveries to construction clients. Skrap positions itself to address a poorly digitised £20bn UK construction-hire market and aims to expand to a nationwide offering. The company plans international launches in France and Germany and sees potential to extend beyond skips into broader construction-hire verticals. Management’s long-term aim is to automate the entire construction-hire supply chain across major cities globally, though they note the challenge of persuading a traditionally non-digital sector to adopt new procurement habits.
