Domestic skip hire

Our domestic skip hire service is ideal for:

• Home renovations and refurbishments

• Garden and landscaping projects

• Garage, loft and house clearances

• DIY and general household waste

Skips are available from 2 yard up to 16 yard, with lidded and walk-in options available depending on access and waste type.

If you are unsure about skip sizes or what can go into a skip, our team is always happy to advise.

Skip placement and permits

If a skip cannot be placed on a driveway or private land, it may need to be located on a public road.

In these cases:

• A local authority permit is required

• We can usually arrange permits the same day, subject to council approval

• Skips placed on the highway must be properly lit overnight

Please note that grass verges are generally not suitable for skip placement due to ground stability and local authority restrictions.

Delivery, collection and exchanges

We offer a same-day delivery and collection service, subject to availability.

If you expect to require:

• A skip exchange

• A specific collection date

• Ongoing waste removal

Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice where possible so we can schedule efficiently.

Due to current demand, standard skip hire is limited to 21 days, unless prior arrangements are agreed.
