Know Your Local Skip Hire Company or Depot

If you are looking to hire a skip in Croydon or across Greater London for either commercial or residential use, it is important to do your research. Waste disposal must be done correctly and legally to protect yourself and the natural environment, therefore, it is vital that you choose the right skip hire company.

When choosing a local skip hire company, you should first ensure that they have the correct waste carrier license and are not operating illegally. You should always ask to see this so that you have proof that they are regulated by the Environment Agency.

If you come across a skip hire company in Croydon that seems very cheap, that should raise a red flag. It potentially means that they do not have a license and are possibly acting illegally by fly-tipping, which is very damaging to the environment. In addition, if your skip hire company does act illegally, then you will be liable for the clean-up costs and could be saddled with a fine.

It’s an expensive process to properly dispose of waste due to the associated costs including landfill tax, recycling, fuel and insurance. In addition, we sift through the skip waste to identify any items that are reusable or recyclable to avoid sending everything to overcrowded landfill sites.

Our cost-effective and eco-friendly skip hire service offers a wide range of container sizes that are tailored to your specific needs, whilst also ensuring you stay in compliance with permit and ethical disposal regulations

Skip Hire Size Guide: Choosing The Right Skip, For the Right Job.

If you’re thinking about ordering a skip, it can be confusing trying to choose the right size for the job at hand. If it’s your first time or you don’t have any prior construction experience, then it can be even more of a challenge to order the right size skip. You should first understand what waste you will put in; is it garden waste in bin bags or construction waste?

Skips come in a wide range of sizes and are categorised by the volume of waste they hold, which, in most cases, is measured in cubic yards, which is usually abbreviated to just ‘yards’. Occasionally, you may come across them being referred to in Tonnes e.g., a 4-yard skip is the equivalent of a 4-tonne skip.

The larger the skip you choose, the more it will cost to hire due to the extra costs of delivery/collection and waste disposal, therefore, it is important to get the right size skip from the start. Too small and you will need to hire an extra skip which will cost more overall. Too large and you will have redundant space left in the skip meaning you could have saved money with a smaller one.

Skips in the UK generally range from a small 2 cubic yards to a giant 40 cubic yards. At Proskips we cater for a middle-range including 4, 6, 8 and 12-cubic yard skips.

The smaller sizes are generally more suited to household waste, moving house and small domestic renovations and the larger 12-yard skip is more suitable for larger projects and business construction waste. The most popular size that we hire out is the [ and -yard skip], due to their flexibility of use for a range of waste types.

Skip Hire Prices – How Are Skip Hire Costs Calculated?

Many factors affect the cost of hiring a skip. Here we consider some of the common cost factors:
Skip size – This has the biggest effect on the overall price of a skip. The bigger it is the more you will need to pay to hire it. Length of hire – The cost will also be dependent on the length of time you require the skip. The longer you keep it the more it will cost you.

Council permits – If you don’t have a drive or anywhere else that you can put the skip on your property, then you will have to place the skip on the road which is classified as council land. To do this you will need permission from the council and a specific permit, which incurs an extra fee. Permits generally range from £20-£60.

Location – Where you live in the country will affect the cost of hiring a skip. Skip hire companies will have extra overhead costs if they are based in expensive areas such as London. In general, southern parts of the UK are more expensive than the north for hiring a skip.

Rubbish removal – If you hire a skip and remove the rubbish yourself, then this will keep costs down. If you require the skip hire company to remove the rubbish and put it in the skip, then this will incur extra labour costs which are either charged by the hour or kilogram.

Additional costs – Once you have discussed your requirements and hired a skip, the price you pay will be inclusive, however, there are two other costs to bear in mind. Firstly, you should check whether the quote includes VAT or not so that there are no surprises. Secondly, it is important to be conscious of restricted and hazardous waste items that you can’t put in a skip otherwise you may have to pay a large fine.

Cheap Skip Hire Should Never Be the Main Project Consideration

If you are thinking of hiring a skip for a certain project, looking for a cheap skip hire company should never be the main consideration. Whilst price will always play some part in your search for a fast and cost-effective skip hire, it is important to understand the value you are getting and the potential risks and problems that come with very low-cost suppliers. Some of the common problem with cheap skip hire include:

  • Service quality – Cheap companies can have reliability issues with deliveries and pickups, which can delay your job or project causing issues with deadlines, which can result in extra costs.
  • Bad advice – If you are given bad advice and persuaded to go for a larger skip than you require, then you will incur higher costs than were needed. Conversely, a smaller skip will mean you need to hire another one to finish the job. A good skip hire company will ensure that you have the right sized skip for the job, therefore, making it more cost-effective.
  • Types of waste – If you are not advised properly or made aware of what you can and can’t put in a skip from the outset, then you may inadvertently dispose of wrong or hazardous items. You will then be liable for extra charges and potential fines which could have been avoided.
  • Cowboy’s – If you choose the wrong cheap skip hire company and they do not have up-to-date insurance, licenses or worse and are just fly-tipping, then you could be liable for clean-up and recycling costs or even fines. It is vital that you do your due diligence before you use a low-cost skip hire company. You can always check the official skip hire registry here.
