What it costs

Most skip firms make you ring for a price. We would rather put it on the page. Here is the flat rate for each size, what pushes it up, and how to work out your total.

Prices include delivery, 10-mile radius, collection and licensed disposal. Outside that radius we add £2.50 per mile — the exact figure shows in your quote before you pay.

How the total is worked out

Four things can go into a skip price. Three of them usually do not apply.

  1. The skip itself. A flat rate per size that already covers delivery, 14 days hire, collection and licensed disposal.
  2. Mileage, if you are further out. Delivery is included within 10 miles of our yard. Past that we add £2.50 per mile, rounded up, worked out from your postcode. A job 14 miles out pays for four miles, not fourteen.
  3. Extra days, if you need longer. Beyond the included period, each size has its own daily rate — from £6 a day.
  4. A road permit, if the skip cannot go on your property. £25 to £110 depending on which council covers your street, applied for by us. Put your postcode into the booking form and it will show you the exact figure before you pay.

That is the lot. There is no fuel levy, no "environmental charge", no weekend surcharge and no admin fee. If a price on your invoice is not on this page, we have made a mistake — ring us.

Items that carry a separate charge

Some items cost the transfer station more to process, so they carry their own fee. These are the only ones, and you tick them yourself during booking so nothing appears afterwards.

ItemChargeWhy
Mattress disposal £45 each Charged separately — disposal facilities apply an extra processing fee per mattress.
Fridge or freezer £45 each Cannot go in a skip. We collect it separately and have it degassed at a licensed facility.
Plasterboard (kept separate) £80 Must be segregated from general waste under environmental regulations.
Sofa or upholstered suite £50 each Upholstered furniture carries a separate disposal charge.
Tyre disposal £12 each Tyres are banned from landfill and need specialist recycling.

Prices we cannot publish

Clearances are priced by volume and access, not by a fixed tariff — a two-bedroom flat on the ground floor and the same flat on the third floor with no lift are different jobs. For those, tell us what is there and we will give you a fixed price before we start, not an hourly rate that grows.

Two ways to get rid of it

Ready when you are

Load it yourself into a skip on the drive, or leave it where it is and we will carry it out. Either way you see the price before you commit to anything.

Still not sure?

Describe the job and we will tell you which size, or whether a skip is even the right answer. No obligation, no sales patter.

Our standard hire period is up to 14 days, which gives you plenty of time for most projects. If you finish early, just give us a ring and we will collect it sooner at no extra cost. Need it for longer? Let us know and we will arrange an extension — we will always tell you what it costs before you commit.

Only if it is going on a public road or pavement. If the skip sits on your own driveway or land, there is nothing to arrange. For road placements the local council issues a permit and the skip needs lights and markings — we handle the application on your behalf as part of the booking, whichever council you fall under.

It depends on the size, how far you are from our yard and whether there are extras like a road permit or a mattress. Each skip size has a flat price covering delivery, 14 days hire, collection and disposal within our free 10-mile radius; beyond that we add a simple per-mile rate. Everything is itemised in the booking summary before you pay a penny.
