About Ubu Environmental LTD

UBU Environmental Ltd is a family owned and managed business which was incorporated in 1998. UBU are the largest operated road sweeper hire company in the North West, managing a fleet of over 120 Bucher municipal truck-mounted sweepers, high pressure road jetters, jet vac whale tankers and Precinct sweepers. Our business strategy is very simple in that we believe in continual growth in the area of performance and compliance coupled with a continual reduction in the quantities of road sweeper waste going to landfill.

Alongside UBU we also have TJ Murphy Limited which has established itself as a trusted provider of civil engineering and groundworks services for over 70 years.

And finally, there is The Little Shed, a property management company that provides reliable and responsive management services for a portfolio of residential and commercial properties.

All three companies are based at our depot on the Linnyshaw Industrial Estate in Walkden.
