Skip Hire Kent: Your Friendly Local Solution
If you’re in Kent and thinking about skip hire, you’re in the right place. We’re your local mates who know the ins and outs of getting the right skip delivered, picked up, and everything in between. Whether it’s a small garden clear-out in Sevenoaks or a big builders project out near Canterbury, we’re here to make the whole process straightforward and hassle-free.
Range of Skips Available for Hire
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to skips, and we understand that perfectly. From tiny household jobs to large commercial waste removal, here’s what you can choose from:
- Mini Skips (2–3 yard) – ideal for small clear-outs, like a bit of spring cleaning or garden waste.
- Midi Skips (4–6 yard) – perfect for kitchen or bathroom renovations and moderate home projects.
- Builders Skips (8 yard) – made for construction debris and bigger renovation jobs.
- Roll-On Roll-Off Skips (20–40 yard) – these are the heavy hitters for commercial waste or industrial-scale projects.
And if you need something secure, we also offer enclosed, lockable skips and flexible wait-and-load options to suit your schedule and security needs.
Mini Skips
Great for domestic skip rental — when you’re clearing out a room or tidying the garden. They fit nicely on drives or small spaces, perfect for the suburban homes of Kent.
Midi Skips
If you’re mid-way through a renovation or doing a bigger home project, these skips handle more waste without taking up too much room. They’re often the go-to for builders skip hire in towns like Maidstone or Tunbridge Wells.
Builders Skips
For proper construction waste, builders skips are the reliable choice. If you’re working on an office refit in Medway or a large refurbishment in Folkestone, these give you plenty of space for bricks, rubble, and timber.
Roll-On Roll-Off Skips
When things get really big — say for commercial projects across Kent or even neighbouring Essex and Surrey — these skips are a game-changer. Their huge capacity and quick roll-on roll-off system make waste removal service efficient and budget-friendly for large-scale jobs.
Booking Advice and Permits
Booking a skip doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s a simple walkthrough to help you get started:
- Choose the right skip size based on the type and amount of waste you expect.
- Check vehicle access where the skip will be delivered — narrow lanes or steep drives can be tricky.
- If you need to place the skip on the roadside, arrange a permit through your local council. We’re here to guide you through that process.
- Separate out restricted materials like asbestos, tyres, or chemicals — these can’t go in skips.
- Decide if you want a wait-and-load option or standard drop-off and pick-up.
We’re always happy to chat about what suits your project best, whether it’s a quick domestic skip hire or a longer-term commercial contract.
Why Choose Skip Hire Over Other Waste Options?
Wondering if a skip is better than a grab-lorry or man-and-van collection? Here’s what we often share with our neighbours:
- Skips offer you control—you load at your own pace, perfect if you’re juggling other commitments.
- They’re generally cheaper for ongoing projects or large volumes of waste.
- For multi-property jobs, hiring multiple skips can keep things organised and efficient.
- Grab-lorries are handy for one-off, quick pickups but can be less flexible than skip hire UK options.
We help you weigh up what works best, so you don’t end up paying for services you don’t need.
