We’ve covered the most frequently asked questions, from skip sizes and costs to permits and what you can (and can’t) throw away.
Yes. If your street is not suitable for a static skip or you have a lot of heavy material, using our grab lorry can be a good alternative because it loads quickly and doesn’t require a highway permit.
Items such as asbestos, gas bottles, tyres, liquids, paint/solvents, large batteries, and certain electrical items require specialist handling and shouldn’t be placed in a standard skip.
Plasterboard can also have restrictions in large volumes. If you’re unsure about an item, please check the guide or notify us before booking so we can arrange the correct option.
Yes, but please select the correct waste type, as rubble and soil are heavy and often have weight limits.
Our smaller skip is the ideal choice for handling heavy waste, as it prevents overloading.
If you’re breaking up a patio, doing blockwork, or removing soil, please select “rubble/soil” (or notify the team) so that the quote and disposal route are accurate.
For a small clear-out, our 4-yard mini skip is usually enough. For a full room refit or multiple rooms, our 6 yard builder skip and 8 yard skip is more realistic.
Dealing with bulky light items (packaging, wood, furniture)? Go with our large 10 yard and 12 yard skip if access allows. If you’re unsure, select your waste type and refer to the skip size guide.
Same-day or next-day delivery may be possible across PO postcodes, but this depends on the time you book, the size you need, and local availability.
For same-day delivery, place an order before 10 am or book early morning.
