Birmingham Homes: Room for the Skip and the Lorry

Moseley has both close-built terraces and homes with larger front gardens. Tell us about your entrance, rather than judging access from the house size.

Blue skip in a private space beside a home
  • A short front gardenFor a terrace close to the pavement, measure the private space before choosing a driveway delivery. The whole skip needs to fit inside it.
  • Gates and garden treesAt a home with a drive, give the gate width and mention low branches. Leave room for the lorry to place the skip.
  • Getting waste outsideSay whether old units or furniture will come through the house or a side passage. Keep that walking route clear.

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.

Putting a Skip on a Birmingham Road

For a city-centre job or a home without a drive, sort out the road position before pulling out old fittings.

  • The skip company appliesBirmingham requires the company to be registered with the council before it can apply for a road permit.
  • Seven days at a timeThe council gives a maximum of seven days per permit. A longer road hire needs further permits, as well as a longer booking.
  • Give the exact spotThe application needs the house number, postcode and skip position. Birmingham asks for at least five days before placement.

Need to Keep a Birmingham Parking Bay Clear?

Tell us about marked bays as well as the skip. A road permit does not reserve a parking space.

  • Two council teams may be involvedThe Parking team handles suspensions within the City Centre Controlled Parking Zones. Outside them, the council says a temporary traffic order may be needed.
  • Allow time for the bayBirmingham asks for at least 48 hours to consider a bay suspension. A more involved road restriction can need a different process.
  • A van permit is differentA parking dispensation lets an approved vehicle use certain restricted spaces. It does not give permission to leave a skip there.
