Reliable skip hire in Southwark.

In most situations, your skip can be delivered on your drive, the street, pathway or grass verge and deliveries can be made to your home or place of work. If you would like your skip to be placed on land outside of your business or home, you will have to receive authorisation from the local council in Southwark, which is known as a skip permit. If required, we will be glad to organise this on your behalf, so it’s one less thing to think about. The local authority does charge a fee for your skip permit, plus you should be aware before booking that obtaining the licence will often take up to two working days.

The phrase builders skip can mean two different sizes – the 6 yard and the 8 yd skip. The label originates from the fact that these are the most popular sizes that are ordered by general builders and tradespeople.

These large containers are fantastic for a wide variety of residential and commercial projects. These are the biggest skips that you can use for weighty builders waste like garden soil, rubble and concrete.

It is very important not to overload your skip, as you run the risk of being told to take off excessive waste prior to it being collected. Whatever size you order, you are only allowed to load them to a level load. This is a safety condition, as moving an overloaded skip will be hazardous, as materials could drop and lead to injuries or damage to other people.

To prevent this situation, please make sure you order a size appropriate for your waste disposal requirements. If your skip is full but you have some additional waste to dispose of, we are pleased to arrange an exchange.

After you have finished filling your skip, we will come and collect it. It will be transported to a waste transfer facility either in or local to Southwark where we will sort the rubbish into its composite types (wood, metal, concrete, etc.). By separating the rubbish, we can reuse and recycle as much of it as is possible.

A roll-on roll-off skip (RORO) is a huge container used to get rid of large volumes of waste. Primarily, these skips are used for business applications. Having said that, domestic customers can also use them. You have to consider the area they occupy, because they measure between 20 to 40 cubic yards. For this reason, they should only be utilised for light-weight materials such as paper, wood and cardboard, and are not appropriate for the removal of garden soil and stone.

I’m afraid it is not permitted, since electronic products like old televisions, freezers, laptops and computer monitors are classified as hazardous waste materials. Due to The Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013, these items need to be kept separate so they can be recycled and disposed of in a safe and eco-friendly way.

Our goal is to give you the cheapest skip hire service in Southwark. The price you pay will, naturally, depend on the size of skip you hire. This varies from the mini skip, which is the lowest priced choice, all the way up to the 40 yard roll-on roll-off container. If you need to have a skip positioned on the road or any other local authority property, you will also need to factor in the added price of the skip permit.

As well as delivering our range of skips to Southwark, we can also deliver to other towns and villages within Greater London. By utilising a network of local and national waste management and recycling businesses, we provide a truly nationwide service. So whether you need a skip delivering to a house or business in Southwark, Lambeth or Isleworth, we have got you covered.

The regular hire time frame will be a fortnight from the date of delivery. However, at the time you order the skip, you can select a pick up date that is perfect for you. Obviously, there is a possibility that you just won’t know how long your project will take. Therefore, if the skip is loaded sooner than anticipated, contact us, and we will get it picked up as quickly as possible.

We can usually complete collections within 48 hours. However, it is important to keep in mind that this is not always the case at busier times. Once collected, your skip will be taken to a local waste recycling facility, where the waste will be processed and sorted.

We will make sure your skip will be delivered when required, which in most cases is going to be Monday to Saturday. For those who order before 3pm Monday to Friday, we can normally deliver your chosen skip the next day.

Although we are not able to guarantee a precise delivery time, we will do our very best to reach you within either a morning or afternoon slot of your choosing.

You will need to make sure the skip lorry can access the delivery location, as a failed delivery attempt will in most cases incur a fee for the wasted trip.

Using a skip which has a drop down door makes filling rubbish into the skip a lot easier. This is especially the case with hefty waste materials such as soil or stone, which can then be walked directly into the skip with a wheelbarrow. It will also make loading up large bulky items like pieces of furniture much easier too.

The majority of skips can be provided with a drop down door, although this will sometimes depend upon area and availability. Let us know when you make your booking if a drop door is needed, and we will do our very best to deliver this.

The mini skip is the smallest size available and can describe either the 2 or 3 cubic yard skip. These compact containers are fantastic for small DIY tasks and household clearances. Their small footprint means they are perfect for driveways.

They can be used to get rid of all types of waste, from house furnishings and old toys to paving blocks and soil. Having a capacity of around 25-30 bin bags of waste, the mini skip will save you having to make several visits to your local recycling centre.

Your skip can be hired to get rid of lots of different types of waste materials. We are used to picking up and handling numerous materials generated from building work, garden projects and home clean-ups. Some examples of allowed waste products include:

• Pieces of furniture
• Hedge cuttings
• Garden soil
• Stone
• Bathroom toilets and sinks
• Cabinets and units

Most materials are allowed, and so whether you would like to dispose of metals, plastics, wood or clothing, we can usually take your waste away.

The quantity and waste types you discard in the skip can vary according to the size skip you hired. All skips do have a weight limit for safety purposes. So if you need to discard garden soil and gravel, for example, the biggest size container you would be able to hire would be the 8 cubic yard skip.

What kind of materials am I not allowed to put in a skip?

There are a few waste items which you will not be allowed to discard in the skip. The reason for this is that these items include hazardous elements which may cause damage to the environment. They may also be hazardous to human health, and so they need to be discarded separately within UK legislation.

Some of the products which are restricted include:

• Paint tins
• Solvents Fridges
• Gas canisters
• PC screens
• Batteries
• Car tyres
• Chemical substances
• Asbestos
• Plasterboard

No, you don’t have to be home when we deliver your skip. Provided that we can access where you need it delivered, we are able to take care of everything.

In the event you will not be in, just let us have any relevant delivery directions when booking the order. For instance, you may want the skip to be located on a particular side of the driveway. Alternatively, you might need to be sure that the skip does not hinder entry to your garage.

Whatever the case might be, simply let us know when you place your order, and we will make sure the instructions will be passed on to the lorry driver.
