How Skip Hire Works

Arrange the right container, fill it with the agreed waste and have it collected.

  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

    Use the collection date or request agreed at booking. Contact us before keeping the skip longer.

What Can Go in Your Skip?

Explain all the materials you want to remove before the load is agreed.

Ordinary clear-out materials

Wood, metal, cardboard and garden cuttings are useful starting descriptions. Name large household items separately rather than calling everything general rubbish.

Discuss these first

Soil, bricks and rubble add weight quickly. Plasterboard, mattresses and upholstered seating need specific acceptance and any charges confirmed.

Keep unsuitable materials out

Do not mix asbestos or hazardous waste into an ordinary skip. Batteries, gas bottles, liquids and electrical equipment need a suitable disposal or collection route.

A larger container is not permission for a heavier load. Confirm the materials and keep waste below the marked fill line.

What Affects Your Skip Hire Quote?

The address, volume, material and hire period shape the job we are pricing.

A load of bulky cupboards and a load of rubble need different allowances. Tell us about heavy material and unusual items before selecting a container.

The complete quote should explain delivery, collection, VAT, the hire period and any permit or parking costs. That gives you a price for the actual job, rather than a headline figure with important details missing.

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 a firm standing surface, the landowner’s agreement and a suitable vehicle approach.

Skip on a road beside a clear pavement

On the public road

Road placement needs the relevant council permission. Parking restrictions may need separate attention, and the local rules must be checked for the actual address.

Skip delivery vehicle at a clear entrance

Room for the lorry

Gates, parked vehicles, trees and overhead cables can affect access. Container dimensions alone do not confirm that delivery is possible.

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 counts vary, and heavy material still needs a separate loading allowance.

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 time, collection changes and any road permission need to be discussed rather than treated as automatically included.
