Skip types

Types of Skip Hire

Drop-End Skip:

A drop-end skip is a standard skip with one end that drops to create a ramp.

When loading with a wheelbarrow, this type of skip is ideal. These are currently available in four-yard, six-yard, and eight-yard sizes.

Garden Waste Skip:

Garden waste skips are perfect for anything from grass, leaves, and twigs to weeds, soil, turf, and other garden waste.

Rubble Skip:

This is an 8-yard skip, also known as a builder's skip. It is used to collect construction waste like rubble, cement and stone.

Commercial skip:

Large commercial skips will be essential for your venture if you're renovating your firm or embarking on a large-scale construction project.

Construction projects, demolitions, premises refits/renovations, business waste, and moving premises are just a few of the circumstances where a commercial skip will come in helpful.

Domestic Skip:

These are smaller skips that can clear out your home for a variety of reasons, including moving, loft conversions, and decluttering.

They can also be used for any DIY projects that require the disposal of materials such as concrete, plastic, or wood, as well as any garden debris.

Roll-On/Roll-Off Skips:

Consider a roll-on/roll-off skip for truly enormous jobs such as site clearances or projects that generate substantial amounts of industrial waste.

These skips have enormous capacity and can be rolled directly onto a lorry once full, allowing you to dispose of your waste without having to make multiple trips.

Mini Skip:

When you only have a limited amount of waste, mini skips are invaluable. They're also ideal for working in restricted or compact spaces.

They are a cost-effective waste disposal option. Mini skips are also recyclable, making them environmentally friendly and sustainable.

Skip Hire FAQ

We offer various skip sizes, from mini skips for household clearances to roll-on-roll-off containers for major construction projects. Popular sizes include 4-yard, 6-yard, 8-yard, and 12-yard skips suitable for home renovations, garden clearances, and commercial waste. Our team helps select appropriate sizes based on your London project requirements and available space.

Skip permits are required when placing skips on public roads or pavements in London boroughs. We handle permit applications on your behalf, liaising with local councils to ensure compliance. The permit fee is set by each borough, so it varies across London. Skips placed entirely on private property don't require permits, making driveways and forecourts ideal locations.

Same-day delivery is often available for skip hire across London, subject to vehicle availability and permit requirements. Next-day delivery is standard for most areas. Our extensive fleet enables rapid response whilst coordinating with local traffic restrictions and access requirements. Emergency skip hire can be arranged for urgent project needs or unexpected waste volumes.

Hazardous materials including asbestos, chemicals, paint, batteries and medical waste cannot go in skips, and nor can liquids, flammable substances or gas cylinders. We don't collect hazardous waste – it must go to a licensed hazardous waste carrier. Electrical items and tyres must also stay out of the skip, but we can collect them separately as part of an ordinary load. Our team inspects skip contents to ensure compliance with disposal regulations.

Skip hire costs vary by size, duration, and location within London, so we price each hire from a photo or a quick site visit and fix the price before we arrive. Prices include delivery, collection, and disposal but exclude permits and overweight charges. We provide transparent quotations covering all costs upfront, with competitive rates for regular customers and longer-term hire periods.

Standard skip hire periods are 1-2 weeks, with extensions available for longer projects. If the skip stands on the road, the council permit sets how long it can stay there. We provide flexible hire periods for construction projects, home renovations, and garden clearances. Extended hire may incur additional charges, but we work with customers to find cost-effective solutions.

Our experienced drivers navigate London's narrow streets and restricted access areas daily. We assess sites beforehand, coordinating with traffic wardens and residents to ensure safe placement. Smaller skips suit tight spaces, whilst grab lorries can collect from inaccessible locations. Our local knowledge ensures efficient service despite London's challenging road network.

Skip contents are sorted at licensed transfer and recycling facilities, and as much as possible is recycled or reused, with landfill only as a last resort. Metals, wood, cardboard, and aggregates are processed for reuse, whilst residual waste goes to energy recovery facilities. This sustainable approach supports London's zero waste goals whilst providing customers with environmental benefits and compliance documentation.

Yes, we supply construction sites with appropriately sized skips and containers including roll-on-roll-off units for major projects. Our service includes regular exchanges, additional capacity during busy periods, and coordination with site managers. We handle permits, access requirements, and health and safety compliance for London's construction industry.

Overloaded skips incur additional charges for excess weight and may require partial emptying before collection. Contaminated skips with prohibited items need cleaning before disposal, attracting surcharges. We provide clear guidelines on filling levels and acceptable materials, offering advice to prevent these issues whilst maintaining safe collection practices for our London operations.
