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 offers 2yd mini skips up to 40yd Rollonoff containers and everything inbetween.

Weight & permits
The rules that decide the size — not just the volume.
Bigger doesn't always mean better. A well-sized skip keeps you under the lorry's legal weight limit and out of trouble with permits.
Up to 8 yard: fine for heavier waste — soil, rubble, bricks and concrete, within reason.
10 yard and above (other than the 20 yard RoRo): light waste only, no rubble or soil.
Standard skips only need a permit if they sit on a public road, pavement or verge, not on private land.
Roll on roll off containers cannot go on the public highway at all — they always need private land.
Before you book
Important things to know
One price, not a starting price
The price we quote covers delivery, collection and disposal, permit included where needed. Nothing gets added once the job is done.
We size it honestly
If a smaller skip genuinely covers it, we will tell you. Talking you into something bigger does not help either of us in the long run.
Same day and next day delivery
Most areas can get a skip out the same day if you call before midday, and next day pretty much everywhere else.
Swap overs for ongoing work
Trade and commercial accounts get scheduled swap over collections, so a site never sits idle waiting for space.
Skip Hire Questions Answered
Still unsure? Give us a ring on 0800 612 9876 — we'll answer straight.
A 6 or 8 yard skip usually covers it without you paying for space you will not use.
Only up to an 8 yard at home, or a 20 yard roll on roll off on a commercial job. Anything bigger is light waste only, because of lorry weight limits.
They cannot go on the public road at all, permit or not, so they always need private land.
Around 100 to 120, less if the waste is bulky or an odd shape.
A 12 or 16 yard usually, with a lockable option if it needs to sit on site overnight.
Not really. We confirm the right size either way, and you can reach us by phone or WhatsApp if you would like a hand deciding.
