Common questions

FAQs

Do I need a permit for a skip in Southampton?

If the skip is placed on your private driveway or garden, no permit is needed. If it goes on a public road or pavement, a council permit is required. We handle the permit application for you — it costs from £75 + VAT and requires 7 working days notice.

How quickly can you deliver a skip?

Next-day delivery is available on most skip sizes across Southampton. Same-day delivery may be possible for urgent requests — call us on 02381 290 835 to check availability.

What can I put in a skip?

We accept garden waste, household waste, scrap metal, soils, bricks, dry waste, wood, plastic, hardcore, paper, and concrete. We cannot accept asbestos, tyres, batteries, gas bottles, hazardous materials, electrical appliances, plasterboard, or paint.

How long can I keep the skip?

Standard hire periods are 7–14 days. If you need longer, just call us and we can usually extend. Longer hire periods may incur a small additional charge.

What skip size do I need?

For a small garden clear-out, a 4 yard skip is usually enough. For a kitchen or bathroom refit, the 6 yard is our most popular choice. Larger renovations or full house clearances typically need an 8 or 12 yard skip. Not sure? Call us and we'll advise.

Are your prices inclusive of VAT?

All prices displayed are ex. VAT. VAT is charged at the standard rate (currently 20%) and will be shown clearly on your invoice. Permit costs are also subject to VAT.

How much does skip hire cost in Southampton?

Skip hire in Southampton starts from £225 ex. VAT for a 4 yard mini skip. A 6 yard midi skip costs from £235, an 8 yard builder's skip from £285, and a 12 yard large skip from £420. RoRo skips for commercial use start from £630. All prices exclude VAT and council permit fees where applicable.

What areas do you cover for skip hire?

We cover all Southampton postcodes (SO14–SO19) and the wider Hampshire area including Eastleigh, Chandler's Ford, Hedge End, Winchester, Romsey, Totton, Hythe, Warsash, Bishop's Waltham, the New Forest, and Stockbridge. Call us on 02381 290 835 to confirm availability for your postcode.

Can I put a skip on my driveway?

Yes — a skip on your private driveway or garden does not require a permit. You just need to ensure there is at least 4 metres of clearance in width and height for our lorry to safely deliver and collect the skip.

Do you recycle the waste from skips?

Yes. We process all collected waste at our licensed Nursling Recycling Facility and divert 95%+ of all material from landfill. This exceeds the national average and reflects our commitment to responsible waste management.

What is the minimum hire period for a skip?

Our standard hire period is 7–14 days, which suits most projects. If you need the skip for longer, call us to arrange an extension — additional charges may apply. We can also collect early if you finish ahead of schedule.

Do you offer same-day skip hire in Southampton?

Same-day delivery may be available for urgent requests — please call us directly on 02381 290 835 to check availability. Next-day delivery is available on most skip sizes across all Southampton postcodes.
