Prices

Affordable prices for Skip Hire in London

Competitive Pricing

It’s no secret that skip hire prices in London can be steep, but that’s not something you need to worry about with us. Enviro Skip Hire’s transparent pricing structure means you can find the perfect skip at affordable rates without the need to compromise on quality.

Please note that the total cost of skip hire in south London and other areas is based on more than the skip’s base cost, as it also depends on the cost of the skip license from local authorities and on the cost of the parking permit. Additionally, on street parking may add to skip hire rates in London, due to extras such as enclosed skips and lights, which are often mandatory for roadside skips.

Road Sizes and Permits for Skip Hire in London

Understanding Road Sizes

Residential streets: In London, many residential streets are narrow, which can affect where you place and how you access larger skips. Consider the space available on your street and the size of the skip before making your booking.

Commercial areas: If you want to place a skip in a commercial or industrial area, ensure that the location complies with any additional restrictions or regulations that may apply to business premises.

Major roads: If you intend to place a skip on a major road or in a high-traffic area, your local council may require additional planning and safety measures, such as coordinating with local authorities for traffic management.

Permit Requirements

Our friendly team can assist you with this process to ensure that you comply with local regulations.

Permit costs: The cost of skip permits in London varies depending on the location and, occasionally, the duration of the skip placement. Some councils also charge admin and/or other fees. Ask our team for guidance on these costs and for assistance with navigating the application process.

Permit duration: Skip permits are usually issued for a specific period, commonly one month. If you need to use the skip for a longer time, you may be required to apply for an extension or for a new permit.

Additional Tips

Check local regulations: Make sure you always check for specific regulations or additional requirements related to London skip placement in your area with the relevant borough council.

Consider safety: Ensure that the placement of your skip does not pose a safety hazard to drivers or pedestrians. You may be required to place adequate signage and barriers on and/or around the skip.
