Skip Sizes

Those that aren't within the building trade or working as a contract may lack awareness when it comes to finding the skip size you need. Hence we compiled this page covering detailed advice surrounding which size skip is most suitable for your requirements.

Below are details of the different sizes available to our clients, as well as the best use for each one to aid you in choosing which one best suits you.

2 to 4 Yard For Hire

This is the smallest skip on hand and it is most efficiently hired for more minimal jobs which create a little bit of debris. Alternatively, it is good for where a number of minute tasks have piled up and you can't reach the skip with ease to discard of the excess junk.

4 to 6 Yard For Hire

This skip is sought-after amongst customers doing larger clear outs (within gardens or in other parts of the home). As construction work produces small quantities of hardcore waste such as bricks and rubble, this size proves helpful.

6 to 8 Yard For Hire

Suitable for clearing average size properties, typically with lofts and basements. There is high demand for this size from builders and various contractors to use within their roles.

8 to 10 Yard For Hire

The number one skip for builders. As these accommodate significant quantities of waste, they work well for home clearances which expect to discard of a lot of junk. Likewise, they are an appropriate size for various other DIY and renovation hobbies.

10 to 12 Yard For Hire

A few of these modest sized skips is a good way to approach the bigger renovation projects. As construction and renovation often produce dense waste, this would be too heavy to fill an 18 yard skip, so dividing the waste into a few is wise.

12 to 14 Yard For Hire

This size is favoured for projects of a large nature, like clearances in residential and commercial spaces. If you have masses of waste, our 12 yard skip sizes may be preferable for you. Long and bulky materials often fit well in these.

14 to 16 Yard For Hire

Customers conducting improvement work on large premises or a combination of DIY tasks may best suit this. It is unrivalled for commercial clients seeking to shift waste following a clear out and declutter of their building.

16 to 18 Yard For Hire

The most substantial size available, these have enough capacity for almost all big jobs and even sometimes multiple jobs (except when the waste is too weighty).
