Skips. How friggin’ much???
Discussion
Feel I need a sanity check and also some lube.
When did ordering a skip get so bleedin’ expensive?
4 yard skip for 7 days and I’m getting quotes in the £190 zone. On top of this I have to put it on a public highway and I have to get a permit which is, and I s
t you not, £150 plus whatever admin fee the skip company decides to put on as only they can get the permit and not us oikes because rulz. Thanks Essex CC…
I remember it was only about a decade ago when it was about £80 plus a drive to the local council offices for a permit which was about a tenner. Different county but c’mon man.
So, how much is it around your way? Are we all getting reamed or is it because I live in the Essex badlands?
No wonder the builder left it to me to sort as I probably thought he would be ripping me off had he organised it!

You guys have it CHEAP.
North London
- 4yd Skip = £300 for 7 days.
- Street Licence = £595 (£85 a day). YES you read that correctly.
So you have to find somewhere to pile it all up on your property, then ask the skip company to wait while you load, otherwise it costs a fortune.
Net result a LOT of fly-tipping and I actually don't blame people, when the cost of a skip is that insane.

I think I'll keep quiet about my outrage now as it seems that the going price of skips seems to have gone up everywhere and all just as expensive.
Builders want it for a few days and there's nowhere really to store the crap if we want a grab lorry or use the wait 'n' load service.
I'm just researching some materials now and I think the skips costs will turn out to be the cheap bit! '
Kin hell! All I want is a new front wall and a few other bits and it seems they've mixed up my job and the building of HS2.
