Learn more about Skip Hire in West Central London

As one of the busiest regions in London outside of the City itself, West Central London includes numerous residential and commercial properties that make use of skip hire services. There are many small businesses and residential neighbourhoods that choose to take advantage of the affordability and convenience of renting a skip, and it can often work out to be more economical than you might think to rent a skip in this area of the city.

The first thing to consider when renting a skip is to check the types of waste that you are disposing of, and whether to book a mixed waste or segregated skip for your waste management needs. The next thing customers need to arrange is finding a place to park the skip, and consider whether you require a council permit and/or parking bay suspension for the skip placement. This is where Wayst can help choose the best value skip for your waste disposal needs by advising you on associated costs, council permissions, parking suspensions and any additional requirements. In many cases we can also organise the skip license and permit on behalf of the customer. Whether you need a skip for garden waste, builders rubble, or just general rubbish, you can contact our dedicated enquiries team for a free quotation, so all that’s left for you to worry about is filling your skip up after it’s delivered.

Skip hire prices in West Central London

Skip hire prices for containers parked on public property in West central London will depend on which borough you are located in and whether you need a parking permit for placing a skip by the roadside. The prices quoted by skip hire service providers will also vary based on the type of skip you require, such as booking a 4 yard skip for mixed waste vs. an 8 yard skip for segregated builders rubble, timber or other heavy waste materials.

Based on the current skip hire prices in Camden and Islington, it will cost an average of roughly £685 to rent a 6-yard builders skip for one week in West Central London, which includes the cost of the skip permit and parking bay suspension for that duration. Also, bearing in mind that the minimum duration for a skip permit in Islington is 1 month, you can actually keep your skip for twice as long in Islington but you will need to check the additional costs.

What size skip do I need?

To get the best value for the price of your skip hire service in West Central London, you will want to make sure you get the skip size that best matches your waste disposal needs. While the price difference between the various sizes of container might not be that significant, there’s no reason to spend more when you do not have to, on a skip that ends up being too large, and you definitely do not want to underestimate the size needed and end up with having to rent an additional skip halfway through your project, doubling the overall cost.

For quick reference, here’s a rough comparison of how much rubbish you can put into the containers most commonly offered by skip hire service providers.

6 yard skip = 20 240-litre wheelie bins or 50-60 bin bags
8 yard skip = 25 wheelie bins or 60-80 bin bags
10 yard skip = 30 bins or 80 to 100 bin bags
12 yard skip = 40 wheelie bins or 100-120 bin bags

Weight, while also being limited based on the size of your skip, is also not as important when you are only dealing with mixed general waste like furniture and other household items. However, it is definitely something you will want to ask your service provider about if you are planning to rent a skip for heavy waste, like soil or hardcore materials such as sand bricks and rubble. The volume taken up by your rubbish should be taken into consideration as well, as you should never fill your skip up past the height of its sides. This may result in the non collection of your skip or a surcharge from the skip provider.

How does skip hire work?

Skip hire basically comes down to renting a waste container that will be delivered and parked at a location of your choosing, and collected once you have either filled it up on the pre agreed collection date, or if you asked for it to be removed before the expiry date.

For most properties in West Central London, hiring a skip will initially require you to secure the permit from the relevant local authority, which means that the best place to start is by visiting the council website or giving them a call to find out what the regulations are. Councils sometimes require skips placed on the road to have add ons like lockable lids, lights and reflectors, while some councils only accept skip applications for segregated waste skips, so it's important to check the regulations first.

Most skip hire service providers can also assist you with making skip license and parking permit applications, and make recommendations based on your particular circumstances and waste disposal needs. Some providers will also make the application for you, as many councils do not let individuals apply for the permits themselves as they do not have the correct public liability insurance.

Do I need a skip permit?

Skip permits are necessary for all skips parked on public property, and enable the local authorities in West Central London to ensure that the skips are placed safely in an appropriate location, without obstructing access to the road for people or vehicles. If your borough council tells you that you are required to get a skip permit, you are also likely to need to apply for a parking bay suspension certificate as well in order to keep your skip in a controlled parking zone (CPZ).

Permits can take several days to process and your skip should not be delivered until permissions have been granted as it will be considered a public liability until the license start date, and you could be fined even if an already parked skip has a license pending. As such, skip hire companies cannot deliver your skip until both the skip permit and the parking bay suspension have been granted, so planning ahead for skip hire is an essential part of the process.

How long can you keep a skip for?

There is no set limit on the length of time you are allowed to keep a skip for with regards to the container, and many skip providers charge a fixed fee for an indefinite period, or require minimum renewal charges every few weeks. This makes it cheap to rent a skip on private property especially over several weeks or even months, as the cost will be the same independent of the length of time a skip is kept for. The cost of skips that require a permit and/or parking certificate is greatly affected by the length of time a skip is needed, as council permits are typically issued for 2 to 4 weeks and parking bay suspensions incur a daily charge in many areas.
