Frequently Asked Questions

If you have questions regarding hiring a skip, we hope you can find some answers here.  But always feel free to email or call us with any questions you may have.

Will my driveway be damaged by putting a skip on it?2022-10-20T13:56:17+00:00

Some driveways such as block paved & soft tarmac, are susceptible to damage.  Our drivers try their best to move and place skips without damage, but we cannot guarantee that your drive will be undamaged by a skip being placed on it.

How long does it take to get a skip delivered?2022-10-20T13:57:10+00:00

We offer a same day / next day delivery service although if you require a permit this can take a minimum of 10 days to obtain so please factor this into your plans.

What is the minimum time I can hire a skip for?2022-10-20T15:32:31+00:00

We do not have a minimum hire period. Our maximum hire period is 10 days and if you need it collected early , just call or use our Arrange Collection form and we will clear it within 1-3 working days.

We have a large selection of skip sizes and roll on roll off skips which you can view on our skip sizes page.

Will I need a permit?2022-10-13T08:08:47+00:00

If you do not have a driveway or a garden (or any other private land to place the skip on to) you will need to apply for a council permit to have the skip placed on the roadside.

The council charge for these permits and we are able to apply for a permit on your behalf.  The biggest skip size the council allow on the roadside is a 6 cu yard.

It takes 10 days to receive the permit, so please allow for this time when placing an order.

How full can the skip be?2022-09-16T10:56:19+00:00

All skips should be filled no higher than the height of the sides and should be level loaded. If you overfill your skip you risk us not being able to remove it and incurring further costs to remove the extra waste. Overloaded skips are unsafe to load on our trucks so please ensure you keep to these guidelines for our drivers safety.
