Hiring a skip in London is one of the easiest ways to clear waste from your home, garden or building project. Whether you are doing a small DIY job or a full renovation, having the right skip makes the work faster and stress free.
In this guide, we break down everything you need to know before booking skip hire in London.
Different jobs need different skip sizes. Here is a simple breakdown so you can choose the right one.
If you are not sure which skip to choose, most people in London find the 8 yard skip works for most medium-sized jobs.
Skip hire prices in London depend on the size you choose, how long you need it and where it will be placed.
Here is what affects the cost:
Driveway skips are usually the cheapest option because you do not need a council permit. Skips placed on public roads need a London Council permit which we can organise for you.
You only need a permit if the skip will sit on a public road or pavement.
If the skip is on your driveway or private land, no permit is required.
We handle all permit applications for London so you do not have to deal with the council.
Most common waste is allowed, including:
You cannot put hazardous waste in a skip. This includes paint, tyres, gas bottles, chemicals and batteries.
If you are unsure about something, ask us before you book.
Most customers keep their skip for 3 to 7 days. If you need it longer, we can extend the hire time with no problem.
Booking a skip is simple:
Same day and next day delivery is available in most areas of London.
If you want the best price, book early and choose a size that gives you enough room. It is usually cheaper to go one size bigger than to order a second skip.
Choosing the right skip size is important. If the skip is too small, you will need another one. If it is too big, you waste money. This guide will help you pick the right size for your job in London.
The right skip keeps your project tidy, saves time and avoids extra costs. Different jobs create different amounts of waste, so it helps to match your skip to the type of work you are doing.

It holds around 60 to 80 bin bags. If you are unsure which size you need, the 8 yard skip is usually the safest option.

If the skip sits on a public road, London Council requires a permit.

If you are not sure, just ask us. Tell us what work you are doing and we will suggest the right size. It only takes a few seconds and can save you money in the long run.
Hiring a skip is one of the fastest and simplest ways to deal with waste when you are doing work at home or on site. Whether you are clearing a house, starting a DIY job or managing a construction project, a skip saves you time, stress and money. Here are the main benefits of choosing skip hire in London.
Without a skip, you would need to load your waste into a car or van, make multiple trips to the tip and unload everything yourself. A skip takes all of that away. You fill it once and we handle the rest.
Piles of waste can get in the way and make your space unsafe. A skip keeps everything in one place which makes your home or site cleaner and reduces the risk of accidents.
Skips come in many sizes so you can choose the one that fits your project. Small skips are ideal for light DIY jobs and clear outs. Larger skips are great for renovations, roofing, landscaping and heavy waste.
Most people underestimate how many trips they will make to the tip. Fuel costs add up fast and not all tips take certain types of waste. A skip is often cheaper, especially for bigger jobs.
Licensed skip companies sort and process waste properly. This means more recycling and less waste thrown into landfill. Your waste is handled safely and in line with London Council rules.
If you need the skip on a public road, we can organise a permit for you. This saves you the hassle of dealing with the council and makes the whole process smoother.
