Ideal for garden clearances or small renovation projects with a bit more waste to shift. - Builder’s Skip (6–8 cubic yards)
Perfect for medium-sized home projects such as larger refurbishments, garage clearouts or home extensions. - Maxi Skip (10–16 cubic yards)
Best for bigger clearances or bulky waste like furniture, large appliances or debris from major home improvements.

What Can I put in a residential skip?
Residential skips can take most types of household and garden waste, but there are some restrictions. Here’s a general guide to what’s usually allowed:
- Household Waste
This includes everyday rubbish, unwanted furniture, packaging and other non-hazardous items. - Garden Waste
Branches, grass cuttings, leaves, soil and other green waste from garden tidy-ups and landscaping. - Construction and Renovation Waste
Bricks, concrete, tiles, wood, metal, plasterboard and other leftover materials from home improvement jobs. - Electrical Items (WEEE Waste)
Small electronics like TVs, laptops and toasters can often go in a skip, but larger appliances may need to be collected separately. - What Can’t Go In
Hazardous items such as asbestos, paint, chemicals, tyres, batteries, and gas canisters aren’t allowed in skips. If you’re not sure whether something’s permitted, just ask — we can advise or suggest a safe alternative for disposal.
Skip Sizes
We offer a full range of skip sizes to suit any project, from small 2 cubic yard mini skips to larger 8 cubic yard builder’s skips. For bigger jobs, we also provide roll-on roll-off skips in 20 and 40 cubic yard sizes. Whether you’re clearing a garden, renovating a property, or managing a large site, we have an affordable skip to match your needs.

How Does Skip Hire Work?
Your step by step guide on how to hire a skip…
By law, a skip permit is required if you plan to place a skip on any public road or pavement. Sometimes referred to as a skip licence, this permit ensures that your skip is legally positioned. Without it, your skip may be removed before use, and you could face a fine. However, a permit is not needed if the skip is on private property, such as a driveway or field.
How to Obtain a Skip Permit
Skip permits are issued by local councils, not skip hire companies. Most councils allow skip hire providers to apply on your behalf, though some may require you to apply directly. We can guide you through this process based on your location. It typically takes around 3–4 days to arrange a permit, so if your skip will be on a public road, remember to factor this into your planning.
If time is tight and waiting for a permit isn’t feasible, consider our man-and-van waste removal service for a fast and efficient alternative.
Skip permit prices vary across the UK depending on location and the duration the skip will remain on the road. Local councils typically issue permits for one to two weeks, with the option to extend for an additional fee. On average, a skip permit costs around £27, though prices can vary.
Some skip hire companies may charge a small additional fee to handle the permit application on your behalf, though you always have the option to arrange this directly with the council if you prefer.
If your skip needs to be placed in a controlled parking zone (CPZ), such as a resident’s parking bay or a metered area, you may also require a parking bay suspension in addition to skip hire and permit fees. These suspension fees vary widely across councils; for example, in some areas of London, fees can reach up to £70 per day, while other councils may offer this service free of charge.
