How long am I able to hire a skip for?

The price of hiring a skip will in most cases have a hire period of up to 14 days. Usually, that will give you plenty of time to load your skip. However, if you do need a bit more time, let us know, and we will see what we can do.

Naturally, should you finish with the skip sooner, we are happy to arrange a pick up. Just tell us when you have finished, and then we will arrange to send out one of our drivers to pick up the skip as quickly as possible.

What will happen to the rubbish in my skip once I’ve finished?

Once you have finished filling up your skip, we come and get it. It will be taken to a waste recycling centre either in or local to Chessington where we will segregate the rubbish into its composite types (wood, metal, soil, etc.). By separating the waste, we can reuse and recycle as much of it as possible.

What size roll-on roll-off skips can you offer?

If you operate a company in Chessington and wish to get rid of substantial volumes of light waste, a roll-on roll-off bin might be a perfect choice. Offered in 20 – 40 yards, these are the largest waste disposal skips that you can hire.

As the label indicates, these type of containers are rolled off and on the lorry with a hook, unlike conventional skips, that are lifted by using chains.

Do you deliver to other areas in London?

Sure, we can offer a nationwide skip hire and waste management service. We can deliver our range of skips to locations throughout London, such as Chessington, East London, Beckenham and Battersea. So wherever you want a skip to get delivered, we have got it covered.

How big is a mini skip?

The mini skip is the most compact size available and may describe either the 2 or 3 cubic yard skip. These compact containers are fantastic for small DIY tasks and household clearances. Their small footprint makes them excellent for driveways.

They can be used to dispose of all types of waste materials, from house furnishings and broken baby toys to paving slabs and concrete. With a volume of about 25-30 bin bags of rubbish, the mini skip will save you needing to make several visits to the local recycling centre.

Which size skips will have a drop door?

For anybody who is choosing a builder’s skip, the likelihood is that it will include a drop down door. This is designed for getting rid of hefty building and demolition materials, as it can be walked in to the skip by using a wheelbarrow.

Some mini skips and 4 cubic yarders also come with a drop-down door, however these are typically less common. Simply because these sizes are typically small enough at the ends so that you can tip a wheelbarrow of waste materials into them.

If you prefer a drop door for your job, please tell us when ordering. We will do our very best to ensure a skip that has a drop door is delivered.

How much waste can a builder’s skip hold?

The term builders skip can relate to two different sizes – the 6 yard and 8 yd skip. The label comes from the fact that these are the most typical sizes hired by general builders and tradespeople.

These large containers are suited to a wide variety of residential and business jobs. They are the biggest sizes that you can use for heavy builders waste like garden soil, rubble and gravel.

How many different skip sizes are available?

When it comes to ordering a skip in Chessington, you will have numerous options to choose from, ranging from 2 to 40 cubic yards in capacity.

The 2 yard container, often referred to as the mini skip, is the smallest option available. This compact skip is fantastic for small household clearances and DIY jobs.

Our next size available is the 4 yard midi skip, that can hold the equivalent of approximately 35-40 bin bags of waste.

After the midi comes the builder’s skips, which are available in either 6 or 8 yards. These are the most frequent sizes hired, as builders and tradespeople frequently make use of them. But their large capacity also makes them great for house tidy ups involving large objects such as household furniture and beds.

We are able to offer 10, 12, 14 and 16 cubic yard bins for those with even larger waste disposal needs. These containers are only suited to lightweight waste, so they can’t be hired to get rid of soil or stone.

To get more information about the different sizes offered, including measurements, take a look at our guide to skip sizes.

Who will deliver my skip?

A local skip company will likely deliver your skip in Chessington. We employ a network of both regional and national businesses to allow us to provide our service to domestic and business customers throughout the whole of the UK. These businesses are fully vetted to make sure they satisfy the high expectations we demand when it comes to service, price and environmental performance.

Am I allowed to get rid of electrical products in my skip?

Electronic products such as TVs, freezers, fridges, computers, monitors and vacuum cleaners are classed as a hazardous waste type and so should not be thrown in your skip with other waste. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013 dictates that electric objects must be separated from other rubbish. This ensures that they can be recycled and disposed of within the safest and most environmentally friendly way.

What types of waste materials can I put in the skip?

Prior to ordering a skip, it is essential to ensure that the type of waste you intend to dispose of is allowed to go in the skip. Some goods and materials need to be kept separate and are not allowed to be mixed with general rubbish. This is a legal requirement which aims to help protect the environment.

A few examples of waste types you could put in your skip include household goods like furniture, ceramic tiles, cabinets, garden waste and clothing. You can also use a skip to throw out building and demolition waste, including old bricks, dirt, stone, metals and gravel.

Examples of restricted items include electronic products, tyres, old paint, chemical substances, batteries and asbestos. These are all classed as hazardous waste materials and therefore need to be disposed of separately from your general waste.

When will my skip be delivered?

We can normally deliver skips to Chessington the next working day when your order is confirmed before 3pm. This is applicable to purchases made between Monday and Friday.

Our simple online booking system will provide you with a number of delivery dates to choose from. So whether you want a skip delivered ASAP or wish to schedule delivery for a later date, it’s not a problem.

If I would like a skip on a road in Chessington, will I need to get a permit?

If possible, you should have the skip left on to a hard surface. For anybody who is carrying out a residential project, then your drive will be best. If it is a commercial job, then a car park or company premises is the ideal solution. On the other hand, if neither option is available, the street or grass verge may be your only choice. As this is public property, you will have to get a permit from your local council. This is called a skip permit, and will be essential for a skip to be located on the road, grass verge or other public property in Chessington. If this is required, we will arrange for the license to be granted on your behalf. An extra cost, paid to the local council, will be added to the cost of your skip.

Do I need to be home whenever the skip is due to be delivered?

You don’t need to be at your property when your skip is delivered, but it can help. Being there when the skip is due for delivery means you can ensure the lorry can be given complete access and that your skip will be positioned exactly where you need it. Similarly, if your skip is delivered to a business premises, we will appreciate your help during delivery, especially if gates restrict the lorry’s entry.

Even so, when you can’t be around at the time of delivery, you don’t need to worry. We simply ask that you let us know when you place your order, and then we will arrange everything from there.

Is it ok to load the skip above level load line?

Please don’t overfill the skip as this will make it unsafe to transport, and you may be asked to empty any materials above the level load mark. This means you are unable to make use of sheets of wood, doors or another object, since this will increase the size of the skip. We have a legal duty to ensure that bins are not overloaded or overweight before transporting them.

Please make sure to select the appropriate size of skip to meet your needs and get in contact if you’re uncertain which size you require. We would be pleased to help.

Other areas covered include East London, Beckenham, Battersea, Crystal Palace, Hampton, Barking, Chiswick and Richmond.
