Plasterboard needs a separate conversation
Do not hide plasterboard in a mixed load. Ask about a separate gypsum waste arrangement and keep it dry and separate as instructed.
Check what belongs in your skip.
Discuss the materials first and keep restricted items out of the load.
- Compare compact 2- and 4-yard skips
- Get help planning placement and access
- Call for a price and available dates
Get a price by phone. No forms to fill in.
Know what can go in your skip.
These are starting points for the booking conversation. The operator must approve your exact waste and load.
Usually worth discussing
- Timber, cardboard and suitable packaging
- Garden trimmings and non-hazardous vegetation
- Suitable household and renovation waste
- Declared soil, bricks and rubble, within an agreed weight limit
Keep out of an ordinary mixed load
- Asbestos, chemicals, liquid paint and oils
- Gas bottles, batteries and electrical appliances
- Tyres and other items needing specialist arrangements
- Undeclared plasterboard, mattresses or upholstered seating
Say if you are clearing sofas or chairs
Upholstered domestic seating may contain persistent organic pollutants and need separate management. Declare it before booking rather than adding it to the skip.
Keep the load safe and declared.
Spread permitted material within the skip and keep everything below its fill line. Do not burn waste or conceal restricted items underneath an accepted load.
Mini or midi? Make the space count.
A little extra capacity can matter. Compare the project first, then confirm the allowed load.

Your skip hire questions, answered.
How much will my skip cost?
Call 0330 912 9966 to check the cost of the compact option you need. Mention road placement early and ask what delivery, hire and collection include.
How long can I keep the skip?
Plan the collection date alongside delivery. If circumstances change, call before the agreed date and before any road permission expires to discuss the available options.
Can I fill it above the sides?
No. Keep everything at or below the marked fill line and within the agreed load. If the pile is larger than expected, call to discuss the next step rather than overfilling.
Will a small skip fit through a small gate?
Walk the proposed delivery route before calling. Measure the narrowest opening and mention slopes, overhangs or fragile surfaces; the driver must be able to place and recover the skip.
Your clear-out starts with a call.
