Household or commercial
Which do you need?
Choosing the right skip comes down to two things — how much rubbish you have and how heavy it is. Most homes never need anything bigger than an 8 yard skip. Building sites, shop refits and ongoing trade jobs usually start around there and can run all the way up to a large 40 yard container.
Commercial Skip Hire
For construction sites, office strip outs, retail clearances and trade contracts that need regular collections, our range runs from small skips right up to the largest roll on roll off containers we carry.

What Skip Hire Actually Costs
Skip hire prices come down to two things mainly, the size you need and how long you're keeping it. A mini skip is the cheapest option and works well for small jobs, while a large skip costs more but suits full renovations or building waste. If the skip sits on a public road rather than your own drive, a permit is usually needed and that can add a small amount too. We'll walk you through the exact cost before anything is booked, not after.

It comes down to the size and how long you keep it. A mini skip is the cheapest option, an 8 yard or 12 yard costs more but suits bigger jobs. We give you one full price before you book, nothing added later.
Only if it's going on a public road. Skips kept on a private drive or land don't need one. If a permit is needed, we sort the paperwork with the council on your behalf.
A mini skip suits small clearouts, a 4 yard handles most home renovation jobs, and an 8 yard or larger is the right call for building work or big commercial clearances.
Often yes, especially if you call before midday. It depends on the day and area, so it's worth ringing rather than assuming.
Fridges, mattresses, paint tins, tyres and anything flammable usually need separate arrangements. Tell us what you're clearing when you book and we'll flag anything that needs handling differently.
Most hires run for one to two weeks as standard, and we can extend it if the job runs on. Just let us know before the collection date.
A mini skip is meant for small domestic jobs like a garden clearout. A builders skip, usually 6 to 8 yards, is built for renovation waste and heavier loads.
