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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

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

Our recent 90-day booking dates show the average skip hire price range between £220 and £790 for 4 to 40 yard skips. The final price is determined by the specific ME postcode, the type of waste you are disposing of, and any fees for the Medway Council road permit.

Yes, you need a permit from Medway Council if you intend to place the skip on any public highway, including the road or a verge.

If you can place the skip entirely on private property (like a garden or driveway), a permit is not necessary. We handle the permit application process on your behalf.

For a small-to-medium kitchen refit that generates rubble, old cabinets, and some packaging, we recommend the 6-yard builder’s skip. If you are demolishing walls or replacing large volumes of flooring, the larger 8-yard skip is advised to prevent overfilling.

Yes, you can put soil and rubble (inert waste) into your skip in Gillingham. However, due to its weight, these heavy materials should not fill skips larger than 8 yards. If you have clean, large volumes of just soil or rubble, a specific “clean waste” quote may apply, which can sometimes be more cost-effective.

Due to parking restrictions, a static skip on the High Street usually requires a bay suspension. Please choose the Wait and Load service for this area to avoid permit delays.

Your waste is taken to a licensed local transfer station in Medway. Here, materials are sorted, with wood, metal, and rubble salvaged to achieve a 95% diversion rate from landfill.
