Builders & Construction Skip Hire

Construction and renovation sites produce heavy, mixed waste that a standard household skip will not handle safely. Our builders skips are rated for dense loads including bricks, concrete, hardcore, soil, timber and mixed site debris. A 4-yard skip holds roughly 40 to 50 rubble bags and suits a single-room strip-out or patio breakout. A 6-yard takes the equivalent of a small extension clearance, while an 8-yard covers larger groundworks or multi-room renovations. If you are filling a skip with heavy inert material such as concrete or hardcore, keep it to the lower third of the skip and do not mix in lighter waste, as overloaded skips cannot legally be collected. We cover a 30-mile radius from Faringdon SN7 7SS, which takes in the Vale of White Horse, Swindon, Oxford and surrounding villages. For sites in public roads across Oxfordshire and Wiltshire, a skip permit is required from the relevant council before the skip is placed. We handle permit applications on your behalf as part of the booking; lead time is typically 2 to 5 working days depending on the council. If your site has off-road space such as a driveway or yard, no permit is needed. Plasterboard must not be mixed with other waste because it produces hydrogen sulphide gas when it breaks down in landfill. We offer a separate plasterboard-only collection for this reason. Asbestos cement sheets, textured coatings and insulation boards must be removed by a licensed contractor before we attend; we cannot accept asbestos in any form. Trade accounts with monthly invoicing are available for contractors and site managers working across multiple jobs.
