Access & Placement

Takes more space than a standard builders skip. Please check:

  • Driveway and entrance width: Around 3 m of clear width for the lorry to reverse and lower the skip
  • Overhead clearance: No low cables, tree branches, signs or arches blocking the lift
  • Ground strength: firm, level ground (not a soft lawn after heavy rain)

For tight residential access, tell us before booking and we’ll confirm whether a 12 yard skip can be placed safely.

“Skip hire prices vary depending on several factors: Location, Rental Duration, Skip Size, Waste Type, Permits and Licenses, Delivery and Collection.”

Weight & Safe Loading

  • Do not load a 12 yard skip with pure hardcore, bricks, concrete or solid soil to the rim. It will be too heavy to lift legally.
  • Keep waste below the top edge: Overfilled skips can’t be collected and may incur a wasted journey charge.

If you’re removing mostly heavy rubble or soil, an 8 yard builders skip is the safer and more cost-effective choice. We’ll happily advise at booking if you’re unsure.

  • What Can Go?
  • What Can’t Go?
  • Skip Permit
  • Delivery Window

Best for:

  • Full house or commercial clear-outs
  • Bulky items like wardrobes, desks, racking, fixtures
  • Packaging, timber, plastics, insulation, carpets
  • Non-hazardous refurbishment waste

If you’re emptying a property fast, a 12 yard skip is usually the most efficient way to do it.

Do not throw in:

  • Fridges/freezers
  • Gas bottles
  • Tyres
  • Paint, solvents, chemicals
  • Asbestos
  • Batteries / hazardous electrical waste

Mattresses, upholstered seating and certain specialist waste streams may have extra charges. Ask first so you’re not billed later.

A permit is legally required if you plan to place a skip on a public road, pavement, or council-owned land. As part of our service, we can handle the permit application for you.

When booking, simply select where you’d like the skip placed. The fee will be automatically added if a permit is needed.

Permit Fees:

A 7-day permit ranges from £30 to £50, while a 14-day permit costs around £95 or more.

Provide flexible delivery windows from 8:00 AM–11:00 AM, 11:00 AM–2:00 PM, and 2:00 PM–5:00 PM. We aim for next-business-day delivery when you order before 2 pm in most areas. For same-day delivery, place your order before 10 am or early morning

The lady I booked through was so good, she advised me to book a medium skip which was perfect. Everything went well and the skip was delivered and picked up as expected.

A 12 yard skip is longer and taller than smaller skips, so it won’t fit on every driveway. You’ll need enough length, width and overhead clearance for the lorry to reverse and lower the skip safely, plus solid, level ground. If space is tight, we may recommend a smaller size or an on-road placement with a permit.
Standard hire is up to 14 days, included in the price. If you need longer for a large property or commercial clearance, you can usually extend from around £30 per extra day, subject to availability. Let us know before your collection date so we can update the booking.

A 12-yard skip typically costs more than a standard builders’ skip due to its size and capacity.

Our recent 90-day booking data shows the skip hire cost range between £390 and £455

Exact prices depend on your postcode, hire length, waste type and whether a road permit is needed. For an accurate, all-inclusive quote, use our online booking system; it only takes a minute and gives you the best price for your area.
