How much is a domestic skip hire service?
Generally, the larger domestic projects you undertake, the bigger the skip you’ll need, and the more you’ll have to pay. You’ll also pay more depending on how long you want to hire the skip. At J Dickinson & Sons, we can save you money by covering the cost of delivery for your skip.
Bear in mind, though, if you don’t have enough room on your premises for a skip and need to park it on the road, you will require a permit from your local council. We can arrange this for you when you book your skip.
Permit prices vary depending on your local council. If you’re unsure if you need skip permits and want to find out how much it’ll cost, please don’t hesitate in asking us when you call to book your skip.

What size skip do I need?
This depends on the job you need a skip for in the first place.
For example, if you need to hire a skip for a small household job, a 2 cubic yard skip will be ample.
But for a large, heavy-duty building project, an 8 cubic yard bucket skip would be more fit for purpose. In short, it all depends on the job.
Lastly, it’s important to make sure you have enough waste to put in your skip before you hire it. Otherwise, you risk paying over the odds for a skip you don’t really need.
