Reliable skip hire in South London.

When it comes to hiring a skip in South London, you will have numerous sizes to choose from, which range from 2 to 40 cubic yards in capacity.

The 2 cubic yard container, sometimes called a mini skip, is the smallest choice available. This compact container is fantastic for small household clearances and DIY jobs.

The next available size is the 4 yard midi skip, which can contain the equivalent of roughly 35-40 bin bags of rubbish.

After the midi are the builder’s skips, which are available in either 6 or 8 cubic yards. These represent the most frequent sizes hired, as builders and tradespeople frequently make use of them. But their big capacity also means they are ideal for household tidy ups including bulky objects such as pieces of furniture and beds.

We are able to supply 10, 12, 14 and 16 cubic yard skips for those with even bigger waste disposal requirements. These skips are only suitable for light waste, so they can’t be hired to dispose of soil or concrete.

For more information about the various skip sizes available, such as measurements, check out our guide to skip sizes.

The majority of containers can be supplied with a drop door, which makes them much easier to load. However, unfortunately we can’t always guarantee this. If you require a skip with a drop-down door, please let us know when making your order, and then we can do our very best to accommodate.

Having a skip with a drop-down door can make it easier to load materials into the skip, particularly with weighty materials, such as garden soil and concrete, which can be walked in with a wheelbarrow. This also makes it easier to throw in large and bulky items, such as household furniture.

We will ask you to confirm when you want your skip to be delivered as part of the order process, and we’ll ensure that it’s with you on the date that you have requested. Most of our deliveries are made between Monday and Saturday.

If you confirm your order before 3pm on Monday to Friday, we will normally have the skip delivered to you the following day.

Although we cannot promise what time we will arrive with your skip, we try to offer you a morning or afternoon delivery slot to manage your day more conveniently.

All we request is that you ensure the delivery lorry can access your required delivery spot, as unsuccessful delivery attempts will result in a fee for a wasted journey.

In the majority of cases, your skip can be delivered on to your driveway, the street, pathway or grass verge and deliveries can be made to your house or place of work. If you need your skip to be situated on land outside of your business or home, you need to get authorisation from your local council in South London, which is known as a permit. If necessary, we would gladly arrange this for you, therefore it’s one less point to worry about. The council does charge a fee for your skip license, plus you should be aware before placing your order that getting the licence can often take up to two working days.

It is always a good idea to be there when anyone delivers something to your property. That allows you to ensure there is sufficient access for the delivery, and the skip can be located exactly where you want it.

The same goes for those who have a business. If you have a gate or security, it may not be possible to get a skip delivered when you are not present.

Nonetheless, if it is unavoidable and the access is not a problem, you don’t have to be there when the skip is being delivered.

To discover how much it is going to cost to hire a skip in South London, enter your postcode into the search box above. We will immediately display the skip sizes we offer in your area and how much each size will cost you to hire. If your skip is going to be on the street or any other council-owned property, a skip permit charge will also need to be factored in.

It is essential to not overfill a skip. You must not pass the level load mark indicated on the side of the skip. If the skip is overfilled, it becomes very unsafe to move. This means that when you overload your skip, you might be asked to take off the excess waste. However secure you think the skip to be, it cannot be collected if overloaded. This includes using old doors or other large flat pieces to build up around the rubbish. This can be dangerous and is not allowed.

Ordering a skip in South London with us is very straightforward. Pick the skip size you require and then enter a handful of details about when and where you need the skip to be delivered. You then pay for the skip using our safe and secure online payment platform. We will send you a confirmation email and schedule to have your skip delivered to you.

As soon as your skip is full and ready for collection, we will collect it and transport it to a local waste recycling centre, where it will be processed. The rubbish will get separated into a variety of waste types, such as wood, soil and plastics. This helps to ensure as much of the rubbish will be recycled as possible. Our company is proud of our commitment to the environment by sending as little waste to landfill as possible!

Unfortunately it is not permitted, because electrical products including old televisions, refrigerators, laptops and monitors are classed as hazardous waste. Because of the Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013, electrical items need to be kept separate for them to be recycled and disposed of in a secure and eco-friendly way.

You can typically keep the skip for up to a fortnight from the day that it is delivered. To ensure the pick up is as convenient as possible, you will have the option of giving a preferred collection date when making your order.

Otherwise, just tell us when you’ve finished loading up the skip, and we will arrange to collect sooner – in the majority of cases, it will be the next working day.

It might take a little while longer to collect your skip over busy times, but we will always try to come as swiftly as possible.

As well as delivering skips to South London, we also deliver to other towns and villages throughout Greater London. Through our network of local and national waste management and recycling businesses, we provide a totally nationwide service. So whether you want a skip delivering in South London, Hillingdon or Islington, we have got you covered.

If you are looking for a cheap skip to dispose of some domestic rubbish, a mini skip might be just the thing you need. With a choice of either a 2 or 3 yard capacity (based on location), the mini skip is a cost-effective waste disposal option to take on many jobs.

A mini skip can fit on the smallest of driveways but can equally be situated on the side of the street, subject to getting a skip permit from the council.

Although most frequently hired by household customers, the mini skip can also handle smaller commercial jobs.

Your skip can be used to get rid of a variety of types of waste. We are used to collecting and processing lots of items from building work, garden projects and property clearances. Some examples of allowed waste products include:

• Home furnishings
• Garden trimmings
• Top soil
• Hardcore
• Bathroom sinks and toilets
• Cabinets and units

Many different waste types are generally permitted, therefore whether you wish to dispose of metals, plastic materials, timber or old toys, we can normally take your waste away.

The volume and materials you throw into the skip may vary depending on which size skip you have chosen. Skips do have a maximum weight limit for safety reasons. So if you want to get rid of soil and rubble, as an example, the largest size you will be allowed to hire would be the 8 yard builders skip.

Is there anything that I can’t put in the skip?

There are several waste materials you are not able to dump in your skip. The reason behind this is that these items include hazardous elements which can be damaging to the environment. They can even be harmful to human health, and so they have to be disposed of separately under UK law.

A few of the things that are restricted include:

• Paint
• Solvents Fridges
• Gas cylinders
• Computer screens
• Batteries
• Tyres
• Chemicals
• Asbestos
• Plasterboard

To offer a thorough skip hire and waste management service across the UK, we work with a number of local and national businesses. This allows us to cover the whole of the UK and helps to ensure we can offer customers with the most cost effective and dependable skip hire service.

As the name indicates, a builder’s skip is the size of skip most commonly supplied for building projects. There are generally two skip sizes that may be classed as a builder’s skip – the 6 yard and 8 cubic yard skip. They are both heavy-duty bins that can be used to dispose of large quantities of building and demolition materials, such as earth, concrete and bricks.

Although they are branded a builder’s skip, these can of course be used for a number of other household and industrial waste disposal tasks.

Roll-on roll-off (RORO) skips are substantial industrial size skips that are used primarily within the business sector. They come in 20-40 cubic yards, which makes them perfect for companies that produce significant quantities of waste.
