Check the load before you pay.
These are starting points for the booking conversation. The operator must approve your exact waste and load.

Your skip hire questions, answered.
How much will my skip cost?
Call 0330 912 9966 with your postcode, waste type and preferred size. Confirm delivery, collection, the hire period, VAT and any permit costs before booking.
How long can I keep the skip?
Agree the hire period and collection process when booking. If you need more time, call before the agreed collection or any road permit expiry; extensions are subject to arrangement.
Can I fill it above the sides?
No. Keep everything at or below the marked fill line and within the agreed load. If the pile is larger than expected, call to discuss the next step rather than overfilling.
Will a small skip fit through a small gate?
Do not judge access using only the skip’s size. The delivery vehicle needs room to approach and place it safely. Give us the gate width and any height, turning or surface restrictions.
Make space without the guesswork.
Tell us your postcode, what needs to go and where the skip could sit. Call for a price and available options.
