Skip Hire

How does our skip hire work?

Hiring a skip with us couldn’t be easier. All you need to do is get in touch with our friendly team to request a quote, choose the most appropriate skip size for your project and arrange a date for delivery and collection.

After that, we do the rest of the work, from pursuing permits to dropping off the skip and collecting it. All you need to do is book and load!

How quickly can you deliver a skip?

Thanks to our committed team of experts, we can get a skip to your property within 24 hours of booking. Contact us to secure yourself a skip today.

Are your skips available to hire for commercial, industrial and domestic use?

Yes! We offer skip hire services across all purposes and properties. This includes offices, homes and construction sites.

Will you help loading the skip?

Unlike rubbish removal services and man and van clearances, skip hire only covers the cost of the skip hire, not any additional labor. If you require help loading the skip, you may find another one of our services more suitable.

How long can you hire a skip for?

This is completely up to you. A typical skip hire duration is anything from a few days to two weeks, however you can request an earlier or later collection depending on your project and requirements. We work flexibly around you, so as long as you give us reasonable notice you can hire a skip for as long as you need it.

How much does it cost?

There is no single answer to this. The cost of a skip depends on when you need it, how long for and what size skip you require. For more information about charges and pricing, call us today.

Will a skip damage my driveway?

Our team is very careful when delivering and collecting our skips, however we do recommend placing either scaffolding planks or large pieces of wood beneath the skip base to protect especially soft ground such as soft tarmac and paving stones. If you are concerned about the possibility of damage, please discuss this with our customer service team.

Will you be able to access my property?

This is something we can discuss prior to you booking. Since skips are typically delivered on large HGV lorries which are slightly wider than most cars we will need to consider the location of skip delivery based on what your street is like. However, in most cases we can access your property!

Will I need to get a skip permit?

If you are keeping a skip on private property that belongs to you, you will not require a skip permit. However, if you wish to place your skip on public property, for example the road outside your house, you will likely require a permit to do so. They are inexpensive and easy to acquire. In many cases we will seek a skip hire permit on your behalf if requested.

How big is the largest skip available to hire?

The largest skip available for hire is a 40 yard skip which can hold approximately 440 bin bags worth of waste.

How small is the smallest skip available?

The smallest skip we offer for hire is 2 yards and carries a maximum weight of 2 tones. This fits approximately 15-20 bin bags worth of waste within it.

Are there any limits to what I can put in a hired skip?

Most waste can be put into your skip although there are certain objects which cannot be put in a skip as they need to be disposed of separately. This includes certain white goods and most hazardous waste. However, a separate collection of these can be organised!

There are also some weight restrictions imposed on skip loading for safety reasons – yours and ours! This doesn’t tend to be a major issue for domestic skip hire, but it is something to consider when choosing the best size skip for commercial and industrial jobs.
