Skip hire for more than just clear-outs
A lot of customers come to us when they are clearing a house or getting rid of bulky rubbish, but our skips are used for a much wider range of work than that. We regularly supply skips for renovation projects, bathroom and kitchen rip-outs, garden improvements, shop clearances, ongoing site waste, and general trade jobs where rubbish needs to be removed quickly and efficiently.
Some of the most common jobs we supply skips for include:
- house clear-outs
- garage and shed waste
- garden projects
- kitchen and bathroom removals
- refurbishment work
- building and renovation waste
- commercial clearances
- ongoing contractor work
If you are not completely sure what size you need, we can help you choose the most practical option for the type of waste and the amount you are dealing with.

Finding the right skip size
Choosing the right skip can make a big difference. Too small, and it fills up too quickly. Too large, and you can end up paying for space you do not need. We offer skips from 2 yards up to 12 yards, giving you plenty of choice whether you are dealing with a lighter domestic load or a heavier volume of waste from a larger project.

Builders skips are often a popular choice for renovation and construction work, but we are always happy to talk through the options if you need advice before booking.
Waste types we can take
Our skips are suitable for a wide range of general waste from domestic, commercial, and trade jobs. That makes them a practical choice when you need to keep a property, site, or workspace clear without making endless trips elsewhere to get rid of rubbish.
Typical waste we can take includes:
- household rubbish
- garden waste
- wood and timber
- metal
- plastics and mixed recyclables
- soil and hardcore
- bricks and rubble
- tiles and ceramics
- DIY and renovation waste
If you are unsure about a particular item or waste type, contact us before booking and we will advise you..
Waste to check before loading
Some materials need to be checked with us first, either because they need separate handling or because there may be an additional charge for disposal.
These can include:
- plasterboard
- carpets
- roofing felt
- tyres
- fridges and freezers
- mattresses
- sofas, chairs, and upholstered furniture
Hazardous materials cannot be placed in a standard skip. This includes items such as asbestos, batteries, gas cylinders, wet paint, solvents, oils, medical waste, and electrical items.

Permits and access
If your skip is being placed on private land, such as a driveway, you will not usually need a permit. If it needs to be left on a public road or pavement, a permit is normally required.
If you do not have enough room to keep a skip on site, our Wait and Load service may be a better option. This is designed for situations where there is no driveway, no permit, or no space to leave a skip in place, and waste needs to be loaded and removed quickly.
