The size of skip will vary depending on how much waste you are looking to dispose of.
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:
4 ton Midi Skip
8 ton Builders Skip
If unsure, please give us a call and we'll be happy to advise with the size you may require.
Of course! All you require is a skip permit (see below).
A skip permit is legally required when hiring a skip on a public road. Local authorities issue them for one and two weeks periods, but this can be extended for an additional charge.
