The 6 yard skip is the most reliable “all-rounder” for household projects and also known as “builder’s skip”.

It’s big enough to handle a full bathroom rip-out, a small kitchen refit or a general house clear-out. For renovation work, a 6 yard skip is usually the first size people book.

It can also handle furniture, bagged rubbish and general junk from lofts, garages and spare rooms, so it’s a good choice if you’re decluttering before sale or end of tenancy.

Placement

A 6 yard skip can usually fit on most driveways, but we still need safe access:

  • About 3m of width at the entrance
  • Clear overhead space so the lorry can lift and lower safely
  • Solid ground (not soft lawn after heavy rain)

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

Weight and overfill rules

Do not mound material above the top edge. Overfilled skips can’t be lifted and collection will be refused.

Heavy waste like bricks, hardcore and soil is allowed, but:

  • Keep it below the fill line
  • Distribute weight evenly
  • If your job is mostly rubble and hardcore, consider an 8 yard builders skip, which is designed for heavier waste

Key Questions

Not sure if 6 yard is right?

  • If you’re clearing one bathroom and light rubbish, 6 yard is usually perfect.
  • If you are dumping bricks, rubble and soil, step up to an 8 yard builders’ skip.
  • For clearing bulky, lighter waste from an entire house, a 10 yard skip and 12 yard skip might be cheaper for you.

How much does a 6 yard skip cost?

Our recent bookings show that the average cost to hire a 6-yard skip is between £220 and £305. The final price depends on your location, the type of waste, permit requirements and how long you keep the skip. For an exact quote, use our online booking tool.

How long can I keep the skip?

We offer a standard hire period of 14 days. If you need the skip for longer, extensions are available over the phone for £30 per day.

Upholstered furniture and mattresses may be allowed, but can carry an extra disposal charge. Ask before loading.

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
