Your Skip Hire 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.

Recent booking data shows the average cost to hire a skip in Chelmsford ranges between £220 and £780 for 4-yard mini skip to a large 40-yard RORO container.

Final prices vary by postcode, skip size, hire duration, waste type, and whether a council permit or bay suspension is required for on-street placement. Use our skip size calculator to check live local prices and choose the right skip for your project.

While it’s rare, skips can sometimes leave marks or cause damage, especially on softer surfaces like tarmac or block paving. To reduce the risk, we recommend placing wooden boards down before delivery. If you’re unsure, our team can advise the best setup for your space.

Make sure the area where the skip will go is clear and accessible. Remove any obstacles like parked cars, low-hanging branches or bins. If access is tight, just let us know when booking and we’ll help figure it out.

You can cancel your booking by contacting us at least 24 hours before your scheduled delivery. Please note that a small cancellation fee may apply if your skip has already been dispatched or a permit has been arranged.

Skip lorries need enough room to safely deliver and collect your skip. A typical lorry is about the size of a large van, so we’ll need clear access and enough turning space. If your location is a bit tight or tricky to reach, just give us a heads-up so we can plan accordingly.

Yes, with a permit from Chelmsford City Council. Controlled parking zones apply.
