What size skip do I need?
Mini skips (2-3 yards) suit small garden or bathroom clearances. Midi skips (4-5 yards) suit kitchen renovations. Builders' skips (6-8 yards) suit extensions, and large skips (10-12 yards) suit full house clearances or major projects.
Do I need a permit for a skip on the road?
Yes, if the skip will sit on a public road or pavement you need a permit from your local council, usually arranged by the skip hire company. Skips on private property (driveways, gardens) don't need a permit.
