The Skip Company provides a wide range of skip hire solutions at competitive prices. With us there is no need to compare prices with other local skip hire companies as we can guarantee to offer you the best price available. Whether you’re carrying out home renovations, garden landscaping or require a skip for larger projects such as clearances and construction, we have the solution.
If you are new to skip hire, then you must be wondering how much it costs. Our skip hire prices vary depending on the skip size you require, your location and the waste stream you are disposing of.
Mini skips, such as a 2-4 cubic yard skip, prices start from just £61.
These skips hold up to 30 bin bags full of waste, making them ideal for a small home renovation or garden waste. For those needing a smaller size skip, these prove to be the perfect option.
The slightly larger midi skip such as a 4 or 6 yard skip can hold up to 55 bin bags.
This skip size is better suited to the larger home or garden refurbishment, with prices starting at £72. A midi skip can also be considered a small builders’ skip, considering the size.
If your project involves a lot of construction waste or bulky waste such as furniture, then a builders’ skip could be ideal. A builders’ skip is typically available in two sizes of 8 and 10 cubic yards with a capacity of up to 70 bin bags.
Prices for builders’ skips start at £127.
Our builders’ skip range proves to be one of our most popular skip options. If required, you can also discuss the specific type of builders skip you need. These can include open or enclosed skips, and lockable or drop door skips.
The largest type of skip is the maxi skip and this is available in 3 sizes of 12-16 cubic yards with capacities of up to 150 bin bags.
Maxi skips are ideally suited to large-scale construction or industrial projects, with prices starting at £150. If you are dealing with heavy waste or even hazardous waste, our maxi skips will provide everything you need.
When hiring a skip, it’s important to be aware of potential additional costs that might arise beyond the basic hire fee. These extra charges can catch you by surprise if you’re not fully informed.
A skip hire permit is required if you plan to place the skip on public property, such as a road, pavement, or any area that is not privately owned. This is because public spaces are regulated by local councils, which need to ensure that the skip does not obstruct traffic or pedestrians and complies with safety standards.
The cost of a skip hire permit varies depending on your local council, but it typically ranges from £30 to £90. Some councils may charge more, especially in urban areas with higher traffic and pedestrian activity.
Each skip has a designated fill line that indicates the maximum level to which you can load the waste. Overfilling the skip can pose safety hazards during transportation and is often against waste disposal regulations.
If you overfill your skip, you may incur extra charges. These fees can be substantial because the skip hire company might need to remove the excess waste manually, use additional transportation, or even replace the skip with a larger one. Overfilling can also lead to fines if it results in unsafe transport conditions.
To avoid overfilling charges, estimate the amount of waste accurately before choosing a skip size. If you’re unsure, it’s better to hire a slightly larger skip than to risk overfilling a smaller one. Alternatively, you can schedule an additional skip if you realize that your waste exceeds the capacity of the initially hired skip.
While underfilling a skip won’t typically incur additional charges, it means you’re not getting the best value for your money. Paying for a larger skip than necessary results in wasted capacity and unnecessary expense.
To avoid underfilling, assess your waste disposal needs accurately. Consult with us if you’re uncertain about the appropriate size. We can provide expert advice based on the type and volume of waste you expect to generate.
Certain items are prohibited from being placed in a skip, including hazardous waste, electrical appliances, and tires. Disposing of these items incorrectly can lead to hefty fines. Always check with your skip hire provider about what can and cannot be disposed of in their skips.
If your property has limited access, such as narrow driveways or restricted entry points, the skip hire company may need to use specialised equipment to deliver and collect the skip. This can result in additional charges. Ensure you discuss any potential access issues with your provider to understand any extra costs that might apply.
While standard skip hire periods are generally between 1-2 weeks, needing the skip for a longer duration can incur extra daily or weekly fees. If you anticipate requiring the skip for an extended period, negotiate this upfront with your skip hire company to potentially secure a discounted rate.
If the skip is not ready for collection at the agreed-upon time, additional fees may apply. This can occur if your project takes longer than expected or if you haven’t finished loading the skip by the end of the hire period. Prompt communication with your skip hire provider can help avoid these extra charges.
