How Long Can You Keep The Skip?

The duration of hiring a skip would depend on your requirements whether you need this for residential or a commercial project. Depending on the scale of work you are planning to do will often determine how long you need to hire a skip for.

In most circumstances, our standard duration policy for hire is up to 2 weeks. If you have a sizable project planned, then the duration of the hire can be prolonged. If you require the skip for longer, you may wish to discuss this with us initially so we can arrange a reasonable hire term for your requirements.

We do understand some projects can take longer and deadlines can often be missed. If you do wish to extend the hire further, then you should contact us as soon as possible so we can make the arrangements. As a responsible skip hire company, we would like to avoid situations where communities are harbouring excess waste and therefore have certain rules in place to maintain a safe and tidy environment for all.

If a permit was required for your skip, then you may need to have this extended. Certain councils only allow you to acquire a skip permit on a rolling weekly basis, and to be renewed as necessary. Councils tend to have rigid time frames and often have stricter rules on hire lengths, inhibiting you from exceeding it. If you do opt to book a skip from our company, we can take the hassle of arranging a skip permit and make all the necessary arrangements for you ahead of delivery.
