What size skip do I need?

Try to be realistic about the skip size as it may work out better/cheaper ordering 1 builders skip, opposed to 2 midi skips. We offer 2 sizes of skips: If unsure, please give us a call and we'll be happy to advise with the size you may require.

Can I put a skip on the road?
