Can I put building waste like bricks or soil in a skip?

You can dispose of building waste such as bricks, rubble, and soil in a skip. Just make sure you choose a suitable skip size based on the amount and weight of your waste.

Do I need a permit for skip hire in London?

It depends on where the skip will be placed. If it’s going on a public road, you’ll need a permit. But don’t worry, we’ll arrange the skip permit for you, so there’s no extra hassle.

How much does skip hire cost in the UK?

Skip hire prices vary based on the size of the skip, your location, and how long you need it. If the skip is placed on a public road, a permit may be required. Our prices include delivery, collection, and affordable skip hire with no hidden fees. Contact us today for large to small skip hire services!

How long can I keep a hired skip for?

You can keep your skip for up to 14 days as standard. If you need it longer, we can extend the hire period for an extra fee. This gives you plenty of time to finish your project without feeling rushed.

What’s the difference between 4, 6, 8, and 12 yard skips?

The size of skip you need depends on the type and amount of waste you’re disposing of. Here’s the difference:

  • 4 yard skips (midi skip) hold around 30–40 bin bags and are ideal for small DIY jobs, bathroom refits, or garden waste removal.
  • 6 yard skips (small builders’ skip) hold 50–60 bin bags and are perfect for domestic waste removal and medium renovation projects.
  • 8 yard skips (traditional builders’ skip) can hold approximately 60–80 bin bags, making it suitable for large domestic jobs, garage clearance or light construction waste.
  • 12 yard skips (large builders’ skip) hold 80–110 bin bags and are best used for major construction waste, large office clear-outs, and retail refits.
