Choose the Right Skip Size for Your Job
Different jobs need different skip sizes. A small bathroom refit will not need the same skip as a full house clearance or commercial project. Use the guide below as a starting point, then check live availability before booking.
What size skip do I need?
A 4-yard skip is usually best for small DIY, garden and household jobs. An 8-yard builder’s skip is the common choice for renovation and construction waste. A 12-yard skip is better for large bulky clearances, but heavy waste such as soil, rubble, bricks and concrete may require a smaller skip because of weight limits.
4 Yard Skip
Approx. 35–45 bin bags
- Compact option for smaller jobs
- Small DIY jobs, garden waste, soil, tiles, bathroom clear-outs
6 Yard Skip
Approx. 55–65 bin bags
- Often better for heavy waste
- Kitchen & bathroom refits, rubble, mixed builders’ waste
8 Yard Skip
Approx. 75–85 bin bags

Driveway, Private Land and Road Skip Placement
The easiest place for a skip is usually private land, such as a driveway, yard or suitable off-road space. If your skip needs to be placed on a public road, a skip permit may be needed before delivery.
For Medway road placements, Medway Council says skip licences are usually obtained by the company supplying the skip, so customers usually do not need to contact the council directly. The council also lists a 14-dayd.
Skip Hire Team can help check permit requirements before your booking is confirmed. Road placement, bay suspension and delivery access can affect the final arrangement, so contact the team if you are unsure.
Trade and Commercial Skip Hire Accounts
If you book skips regularly for construction, clearance, refurbishment, property maintenance, or commercial waste, Skip Hire Team offers trade account options for repeat customers. Trade customers can apply for a credit account online or speak to our team about regular skip hire, RoRo containers, availability, and collection support.
