Local Skip Hire

For an affordable and easy way to tackle the disposal of general waste and rubbish consider the use of a rubbish skip.

Ideal for domestic as well as commercial applications the hire of a skip allows simple and fast waste collection for most types of rubbish including building materials (bricks, blocks, plaster, timber, metalwork, mortar, sand, and cement) and waste materials from installation and maintenance work in factories and industrial plants. If the waste to be collected is not hazardous it is generally acceptable for it to be disposed of by way of a skip.

Skips can be hired in all manners of sizes including mini, midi, standard, and commercial sizes. The standard size is the metal skip most commonly used by contractors, builders, plumbers, joiners, and mechanical fitters for the general removal of rubbish.


If a company is undertaking a factory machine move or perhaps maintenance work to its wiring or plant equipment a skip could be the answer to the removal of rubbish in the most cost effective way. 

If you are planning to have a loft conversion at home or perhaps a makeover of your garden, skip hire can make the job a lot easier.

You can hire a skip for as long as you want to allow you to work at your own pace.

When choosing to rent a skip consider the size you will need, how long you need it on site, and also where it will be placed. It also makes sense to consider any tools that will be needed to help you make the most of the skip.

This could be a concrete breaker to aid a renovation or improvement project (by way of breaking up an old drive or patio that is to end up in the skip for disposal), a stihl saw for cutting walls and block work, or a petrol rotavator for turning soil over in the garden.

One of the best tools to buy or hire for use with a rubbish skip is a builders wheelbarrow, with the help of a scaffold board acting as a ramp rubbish can be wheeled straight up to the side of the skip itself.
