A: You can hire skip sizes from 4 to 16yard capacity. To find out what size skip is best for your requirements click the skips on the domestic skips page. Remember to be realistic about the amount of waste that you have got, as two skips cost significantly more than one.

2) What access do I need to provide?

A: The vehicles delivering the skip to your house are LGV's and are normally very large, please make sure there is sufficient access to allow it in/out safely. If you are unsure, please contact us and we can provide you with the approximate dimensions required.
