The person helps you picture the size. Cubic yards tell you how much space is inside, not how much weight the skip can hold. Sizes vary, so confirm the measurements and access when you call.

How Skip Hire Works

Choose your skip, fill it with the agreed waste and arrange collection.

  1. 1

    Choose your hire

    Tell us the postcode, waste and preferred date. Agree the size, total price, access and hire period.

  2. 2

    Fill the skip yourself

    Load only the agreed materials, keeping them below the fill line and within the weight limit.

  3. 3

    Have it collected

    When you book, agree a collection date or when to call for pickup. Ask before keeping the skip longer.

What Can Go in Your Skip?

Tell us everything you want to throw away before you book.

Common clear-out waste

Tell us if you have wood, metal, cardboard or garden cuttings. Name large items too, so we know what needs to go.

Discuss these first

Soil, bricks and rubble add weight quickly. Check whether we can take plasterboard, mattresses or padded furniture, and whether they cost extra.

Keep unsuitable materials out

Do not mix asbestos or hazardous waste into an ordinary skip. Ask how batteries, gas bottles, liquids and electrical items can be collected separately.

A bigger skip does not mean you can fill it with heavier waste. Agree what can go in and keep everything below the fill line.

What Affects Your Skip Hire Quote?

The price depends on your address, waste and how long you need the skip.

A pile of cupboards and a load of rubble take up space and add weight in different ways. Tell us about heavy waste and unusual items before choosing a skip.

Ask for the full price, including delivery, collection, VAT, hire length and any road or parking costs. You can then see what the whole job will cost before booking.

Where Will the Skip Stand?

Allow for the skip and the lorry that will place and collect it.

Skip on private driveway

On private land

A driveway or yard needs firm ground, the owner’s permission and room for the lorry to get in.

Skip on a road beside a clear pavement

On the public road

A skip on the road needs council permission. Parking bays and yellow lines may need separate permission too.

Skip delivery vehicle at a clear entrance

Room for the lorry

Gates, parked vehicles, trees and overhead cables can affect access. The skip may fit, but the lorry needs room too.

Your Skip Hire Questions

Call now
Discuss your job0800 802 1284
How do I estimate the size without counting bags?

Describe the main items and materials, then use the guide sizes to picture the volume. Bag sizes vary. Tell us about heavy waste so we can agree how much the skip can hold.

Is loading help part of skip hire?

You fill a hired skip yourself. If you want the agreed rubbish carried out, loaded into a van and taken away, enquire about the separate rubbish-removal service.

What if the building work lasts longer?

Contact us before the agreed hire ends. Extra days or a changed collection may cost more. Road permission may need extending too.
