Skip Hire Team makes it easy to book skip hire online. Enter your postcode, compare available skip sizes and prices, choose your delivery date, and book securely in minutes. We arrange domestic, builders, trade, and commercial skip hire through licensed local suppliers, with 4 to 12-yard skips available online and 20 to 40-yard RORO skips quoted by phone.
Book your skip online today or contact our team if you need help choosing the right size.
Choosing the right skip depends on your waste type, available space, and the size of your project.
Standard skip hire includes 2 weeks of hire. This gives most customers enough time to fill the skip without rushing.
Do not place heavy waste in 10 or 12 yard skips. These larger skips are designed for bulky, lighter materials and may become too heavy to collect safely. If you are unsure whether an item can go in your skip, contact us before booking. This helps avoid extra charges, failed collections or rejected waste.

Recommendation: A 4 Yard Midi Skip is usually perfect for a standard bathroom suite (bath, toilet, sink) plus tiles and packaging.
Recommendation: You must use a 6 Yard Skip. Do not order anything larger (8-yard+), as the truck cannot legally lift larger skips filled with heavy rubble.
Recommendation: Go for a 10 yard skip and 12 Yard Skip. House clearances produce a lot of “light bulk” (boxes, clothes, furniture) that takes up volume quickly.
Recommendation: An 8 Yard Skip is best. Furniture shapes are awkward and create empty spaces, so you need the extra volume.

Our FAQ section covers everything you need to know, from permit requirements to skip sizes and waste types.
Skip hire costs depend on the skip size, your postcode, the waste type, permit requirements, and the time you need the skip. Our recent bookings show the average cost ranges from £245 to £455 (inc VAT) for standard 4- to 12-yard skips. For 20 and 40-yard RORO skips get prices over the phone.
Yes. Use our online skip cost calculator to compare live skip hire prices, available skip sizes, and delivery slots near you.
You need a permit if the skip is placed on a public road, pavement or highway. You usually do not need a permit if the skip is placed fully on private land.
A 6 yard skip is usually the best choice for builder’s waste because it can handle heavier materials better than larger skips. For some mixed renovation jobs, an 8 yard skip may also be suitable.
Standard hire is usually up to 14 days. Extensions available at an extra £30 daily charge, subject to availability.
Same-day or next-day skip hire may be available in some areas when you order early. Availability depends on your postcode, skip size and local delivery schedules.
A 4 yard skip is often enough for a standard bathroom refit. If you have heavier materials, tiles, rubble or extra waste, a 6 yard skip may be better.
Yes, but soil, rubble, bricks and concrete are heavy. These materials are usually best placed in a 4 or 6 yard skip. Do not fill a 10 or 12 yard skip with heavy waste.
Some upholstered furniture may need special handling because of waste regulations. Tell us before booking if you need to dispose of a sofa, armchair or upholstered seating.
