Call us on 0844 686 9342

 

We can provide you with any sized skip across the UK, subject to availability. We’ve illustrated our skips here with bin bag comparisons and full dimensions in imperial and metric units.

Make sure you read the guide on “How to Use Your Skip” and “The 7 Secrets to Successful Skip Hire” before you order. If you need further advice on which skip is best for your requirements, call our friendly skip hire experts on 0844 686 9342 (Mon-Fri 0800-1730, Sat 0900-1300) or email us using the contact form here.

You may hear skips referred to as “8-yarders” and “Builders Skip” – this is because through the years they have taken on their own indivudal industry names based on the historical parlance for skip hire sizes!

We also provide RORO (Roll On, Roll Off) Containers for large industrial trade waste. See our Trade Users section for details.
