Local access & delivery notes in Basildon

The biggest delivery issues usually stem from parking density, loading restrictions, and whether you’re trying to place a skip on the road rather than on private land. A few Basildon-specific notes that help avoid problems:

  • Narrow streets near the town centre or St. Martin’s Square with restricted parking bays. In these areas, we recommend a Wait and Load service to avoid the costs and lead times associated with a council permit or bay suspension.
  • If you are located near major routes like the A127 or A13, make sure there is sufficient access for an 18-tonne skip lorry to manoeuvre.
  • Deliveries during local events like the Basildon Carnival, book in the early morning window to avoid traffic hotspots.
  • If your property has limited turning space, please let us know when booking so we can assign a smaller skip-loader.

If you’re unsure whether your road can take a skip, mention it when you request a quote or speak to our team. We’ll check access and advise the best option.

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.

Do I need a permit for a skip in Basildon?

If your skip is going on the public highway (road, pavement, verge, or public footpath), an Essex County Council licence is required and costs between £100 and  £107.78 (2025/26). Only contractors can apply, like Skip Hire Team.

Permit applications take at least 10 working days to process. Licences are normally valid for 2 weeks

The maximum 6-yard skip size is allowed on the highway. Bigger skips need to be placed on private land, or choose an alternative like wait-and-load, depending on access.

If you need a skip on the road in Basildon, plan ahead and allow around 2 weeks to be safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve covered the most frequently asked questions, from skip sizes and costs to permits and what you can (and can’t) throw away.

To maintain compliance with the Environment Agency, certain items are restricted. Most standard household and construction waste is allowed, including wood, metal, soil, bricks, and furniture.

However, you must avoid placing the following in your skip:

  • Prohibited Items: Asbestos, gas canisters, fridges/freezers, tyres, large batteries, and clinical waste.
  • Special Handling: Items like mattresses or large amounts of plasterboard may require a surcharge.

Always check the full list before booking: what you can and can’t put in a skip
.

Our standard hire is up to 14 days, which suits most domestic and trade jobs. If you need it longer, extensions may be available at £30/ day.

Our recent skip hire bookings in Basildon show the average skip hire prices range between £230 and £750 for 4-40 yard big RORO containers. Final costs depend on your postcode and whether a road permit is required.

We offer same or next-day delivery in Basildon, where stock and access allow. If you need the skip urgently, booking earlier in the day can help. 

For most renovations, our 6 or 8 yard skip is the common choice.

Our 6-yard builder skip is great for heavier waste like rubble and bricks (within limits), while an 8-yard gives extra volume for mixed waste.

If you’re doing a full clear-out with bulky items, our 10 yard skip and large 12 yard skip may suit better (but not for heavy rubble when filled).
