Best Skip Hire in Portsmouth

Portsmouth is a beautiful maritime city on the south coast, where reliable skip hire is essential for managing waste, whether for domestic clearances or commercial projects.

At Skip Hire Team, we make it easy and straightforward to book a skip online across all local areas, including PO1, PO2, PO3, PO4, PO5, and PO6.

We work with licensed partners who handle all deliveries and collections. Approximately 95% of waste is diverted from landfills through the Portsmouth Waste Recycling Centre.

Our skips come with a 14-day hire period, and we offer same-day or next-day delivery, depending on availability. We also provide flexible delivery windows from 8 AM–11 AM, 11 AM–2 PM, and 2 PM–5 PM, subject to local traffic conditions and local events. In the last 90 days, 98% of deliveries were on time.

For same-day delivery, please place your order before 10:00 a.m.

If you need to place a skip on a public road, we work directly with Portsmouth City Council to obtain a skip permit and handle all paperwork for you.

Local Quick Facts

  • CPZ/bay suspension: Skips placed in certain controlled parking zones require a parking suspension. Place your order in advance, especially during events or rush hours.
  • For Red Route roads, like Kingston Crescent, where the static skip placements are not allowed. 
  • Be aware of narrow lanes in Old Portsmouth and the low bridge at High Street. Additionally, Saturday market day closures in certain areas may affect access. For these situations, we recommend hiring a wait-and-load service.
  • Extensions are available at just £30/ day.

Case Study: Last month, we delivered a 12-yard skip to a shop refit in Fratton, collected it the next day, and recycled 92% of the load, no delays, no extra fee. For 20 and 40 yard containers, get tailored quotes over the phone 0800 260 5989.
