National Skips Dispatch delivers skips same/next day when building projects and house clearances can't wait—4-yard mini to 40-yard RoRo. We arrange council permits, wait-and-load service, and mixed waste disposal. Nationwide coverage through 2,800+ depots.
Order Friday. Permit sorted. Delivered Saturday. Collected when full.
We work with licensed waste carriers (Environment Agency registered). Mixed waste (builder's waste, house clearance), segregated loads (hardcore, metal, wood), hazardous waste (asbestos—separate service). Weight limits enforced—overloaded skips charged at £10-15 per extra 100kg.
The right size skip for your waste (not too big, not too small)
House clearance, garage clear-out, small garden jobs. 4-yard mini: 40-50 bin bags capacity. 6-yard midi: 60-70 bags. Fits on driveway (L 2.5m × W 1.5m × H 1m). No permit needed if on private land. Hire period: 1-2 weeks included. Mixed household waste accepted (not hazardous—no asbestos, chemicals, tyres, fridges). Price: £120-180 depending on location + £60-80 disposal.
Renovations, extensions, loft conversions. 8-yard: standard builder's skip, 80-100 bags, most common size. 12-yard: large jobs, 120-140 bags. Accepts builder's waste (rubble, plasterboard, timber, packaging—mixed loads OK). NOT hardcore-only (crushed concrete/brick—different pricing). Size: 8-yard L 3.7m × W 1.8m × H 1.2m. Permit required if road placement (£30-60 council fee + 5-7 days). Price: £180-280 + disposal.
Major renovations, full house strip-out. 14-yard: 140-160 bags. 16-yard: 160-180 bags. Enclosed sides (higher walls than standard builder's skip). Useful for lightweight bulky waste (plasterboard, insulation, cardboard). Weight limit matters—16-yard skip filled with rubble will exceed 10-tonne limit = extra charges. Road permit almost always required. Price: £250-350 + disposal.
Commercial jobs, demolition, large-scale projects. Roll-on roll-off (delivered on articulated lorry, rolled off with chains). 20-yard: 200-250 bags. 40-yard: 400-500 bags. Open-top containers. Need lorry access (straight approach, 4m height clearance). Used for segregated waste (hardcore only, timber only, metal only—cheaper disposal). Price: £400-700 + £150-300 disposal depending on waste type.
Can't leave skip on site overnight (theft risk, narrow street). We deliver skip, you load immediately (2-4 hours), we collect same day. Charged as single-day hire + driver wait time (£40-60/hour). Useful for quick clear-outs or sites with access restrictions. Must be ready when skip arrives—driver won't wait indefinitely. Book morning delivery, have waste ready in one place.
Skip on public road (not your driveway) needs council permit. We apply on your behalf: location photo, risk assessment, duration (usually 2 weeks max). Council charges £30-90 depending on borough. Processing: 3-7 working days. Permit must be displayed on skip. If skip placed without permit: £100-1,000 council fine (you pay, not us). We handle paperwork, you get legal placement.
