Frequently Asked Questions

What is skip hire?

Skip hire refers to the service of hiring a large container (known as a skip) to dispose of waste. It’s commonly used for construction waste, house clearances, garden waste, and other bulk refuse.

Skip it is the go-to choice for skip hire in Epsom due to its deep local expertise, diverse range of skip options tailored to various needs, swift delivery and pick-up services, and a commitment to environmentally responsible waste disposal. Their familiarity with the Epsom region ensures seamless service, making waste management convenient and efficient for residents and businesses alike.

The cost depends on the size of the skip you need and the hire duration. Please contact us directly for a quote tailored to your requirements.

Skip hire is worth it for those undertaking significant projects or clear-outs, as it offers a convenient and efficient way to dispose of large amounts of waste. By consolidating multiple trips to a disposal site into one skip, users not only save time and effort but also ensure safe and environmentally responsible waste management, making the investment cost-effective and environmentally conscious.

We offer a variety of skip sizes, from mini-skips suitable for small home projects to large roll-on roll-off skips for industrial use. Please contact us for specifics on dimensions and capacities.

If the skip is placed on a public highway or pavement, a permit from the local council is typically required. If it’s on private land, a permit is usually not necessary. Skip It can assist in obtaining the necessary permits for you.

Skip hire can seem expensive due to several factors: the costs associated with providing and maintaining the skips, the transportation for delivery and pickup, permits for placement on public land, and fees for disposing of waste at licensed facilities.

Additionally, reputable skip hire companies adhere to environmental regulations, ensuring waste is processed responsibly, which can also incur costs. All these elements combined contribute to the overall price of the service.

We prioritise environmentally friendly disposal methods. The waste is taken to a licensed waste transfer station, where it is sorted, and as much as possible is recycled or repurposed.

Standard hire duration is typically 7 days, but we can arrange for both shorter and longer periods depending on your needs. Please let us know when booking.

Skips are suitable for a range of waste types including household waste, construction debris, garden waste, and more. However, hazardous materials like asbestos, batteries, chemicals, and refrigerators are not permitted. Always check with us if you’re unsure.
