FAQs
FAQs

Here are a few frequently asked questions that we have received from clients.

How long can I keep the skip?

The normal hire period is 7-10 days, but we can arrange a longer or shorter hire period if required.

Do I need a permit?

If placed upon your on property then no you do NOT need a permit. If placed on a public road / highway then YES you require a permit. You will need to obtain this permit from the local council, a process that can take up to 3 days.

What size skip do I need?

Please refer to our Skip Sizes article to obtain a rough estimate of the type of skip you may require. Unless ground space is an issue, go for a skip that is slightly larger than what you think you might need. That’s because the room inside the skip seems to disappear quickly when you start adding items! If you need more advice for choosing a skip size, contact us on 01268 856327.

What is a drop-door skip?

A drop-end skip is a normal skip, but one end drops down to create a ramp into the skip. This type of skip is great when loading up with a wheel barrow. These are currently available in 4, 6 & 8 yard sizes.

How much can I put in my skip?

We ask you to keep it all waste level with the top of the skip. This will help to ensure that nothing falls from the skip during transit. Additionally, skips larger than 8 yards are unsuitable for heavy waste (soil/concrete), as they can breach the lorries maximum load. If you have any questions about how much you can fill your skip, feel free to contact us.

What can I put into my skip?

Skips are designed for the disposal of inert, non-hazardous materials. This includes items like bricks, tiles, hardcore mix, furniture, blocks, paper, top soil, concrete, ceramics, wood, plasterboard, plastics, metals, doors and many other items. The only materials that can’t go into the skip are items that are potentially dangerous (see below).

What can't I put in my skip?

You cannot put the following in a skip, if you are unsure feel free to call us:

  • Asbestos
  • Gas canisters
  • Tyres
  • Fridge / Freezers

Where can I put my skip?

If the skip is going to be placed on your private property, it can be placed anywhere the lorry can reach. However, it is recommended that it be placed in a location with flat ground to reduce the risk of someone slipping as they place material into the skip. Also, skips be quite heavy when fully loaded, so they shouldn’t be placed on driveways made from soft materials.

When can you drop off & collect?

We operate 6 days a week (Monday to Saturday). Same day drop off & collection available.

How quickly can I get a skip?

We can usually deliver a skip to your property on the same day that you call us. However, if the skip is going on the road, you will need a permit from the council which may take up to 3 days to process.

Dave is very professional and provides an excellent quality service. As a building company, we have had our fair share of skip companies that let us down or don’t provide the service but so far with Dave he has been exceptional. He always does next day deliveries, if not the same day which is so so convenient and we will continue to use him going forward. We are very happy with the service Dave provides.

A very good and satisfactory skip hire hire company to do business with.

Called on a Saturday morning needing a skip that day in Hadleigh, I’d forgotten to order one in advance having travelled from another part of the country. I was advised to order a 10 yard skip which was perfect for the house clearance. Although the skip would normally have been delivered on the Monday Dave went out of his way to help and the skip was delivered as promised around lunchtime ready for our hard work to start! The cost was very reasonable, I had made a few online enquiries with other local companies which were more expensive than DS. The skip was collected Monday morning at my request as it was full! We could have had it for 7-10 days though if needed. Absolutely brilliant and efficient service, would highly recommend DS skip hire, thank you.

Thomas Mills

David at DS Skip Hire made it easy for me to pay via transfer and have the skip waiting for me at my Deceased relative’s home when I arrived from US. He made the bereavement and clean out process exceptionally easy for me for which I’m very grateful.
I’m in the construction and design business and I know the difficulties I’ve had with my services in US so I highly recommend DS Skip!

Great service.

Ordered a 6 yard skip to be delivered at a specified time – it arrived bang on time – I live in a cul-de-sac space was limited so not an easy delivery – the driver was an absolute gentleman and even manually moved the skip into the best place for me to leave room for my car. He informed me how to get the best out of the skip & also about collection time etc I am so impressed that I can also have the skip for 10 days for the very reasonable price I paid. Highly recommend this company 👍🏻

We were disappointed with another skip company, so I rung DS skips. I didn’t realise until then, that they were in my neighbourhood. The man over the phone Dave, was very courteous and kind. He was able to deliver next day morning . We were very impressed and pleased with how quickly the skip arrived, and how polite DAVE , the guy who dropped it off was. Our carpet work got delayed for few days, and on my request, , he obliged and extended it for 6 more days. I dont think any other skip company would do that! I would surely recommend DS skips to all and use them again in the future. Absolutely delightful customer service and reasonable too. Thank you 🙂
