For those without prior knowledge as a tradesperson or contractor it may be difficult to decipher what size skip to seek. This is to be expected and is the reason why we developed this page to deliver advice on the best skip size for you.
Written below is a run-through of the various size options we offer to customers and what each one is designed for to help you decide which to hire out.
The most compact skip available, making it most appropriate for minor tasks which amass low quantities of debris. A great option for a situation where a couple of simple tasks have added up and it's inconvenient to travel back and forth to the recycling centre to rid of the extra waste.
The most commonly selected size for individuals with larger plans (like clearing an outdoor space or completing small construction tasks). They are also compatible with tasks that produce concrete, rubble, bricks and other hardcore mess.
This size often best serves modest property clear-outs, usually where attics, garage spaces and basements are involved. The size is often requested by building professionals and contractors for their work.
The go-to skip for those in the building profession. They cater for a large quantity of waste so are handy in the event of large-scale decluttering and removals. It is similarly useful for DIY endeavours and refurbishment work of all shapes and sizes.
Even for the most comprehensive building work, numerous, mid-size skips like this could work really well. Such sizeable jobs tend to produce huge amounts of waste, most of which is dense and therefore too heavy to lift in a single skip. A solution to this is using numerous smaller ones instead.
These are most appropriate for large-sale property work, including domestic and commercial clear-outs. For those keen to shift large quantities of clutter from their property, a 12 yard skip may be your best bet. They are particularly helpful for containing long and wide waste types.
People looking to conduct construction work on substantially-sized spaces or an array of different DIY projects would benefit from this. Prime for business clients looking to clear out or organise their property.
The most generous size offered, these are big enough for most major jobs or even a selection of different projects (contingent on the combined waste not being too heavy).
