Skip Hire in Folkestone, Kent

Q: Do I need a permit for skip hire in Folkestone?

Only if the skip needs to go on a public road, pavement or verge. If it's sitting on your driveway or any private land, no permit is required. For public road placements, a skip permit is needed from Kent County Council Highways. The fee is £100 and covers a 2-week period. We take care of the application for you - just choose the permit option when booking and allow at least 5 working days before your delivery date.

Q: How much does skip hire in Folkestone cost?

Pricing is based on your postcode and skip size. As a guide: a 4-yard skip from £190, 6-yard from £220, 8-yard from £250 and 12-yard from £355. All prices exclude VAT and are effective from January 2026. Get a quote for your exact price.

Q: What size skip do I need for a house clearance in Folkestone?

An 8-yard builders skip is the most popular choice for a full house clearance - it holds around 80 bin bags and covers most properties. For clearing just one or two rooms, a 4-yard skip is usually enough. If you're tackling a larger Victorian terrace around The Leas or Foord, consider a 12-yard to avoid needing a second delivery.

Q: Can you deliver to Hawkinge, Sandgate or Capel-le-Ferne?

Yes. We deliver across Folkestone and the surrounding area, including Hawkinge, Sandgate, Capel-le-Ferne, Cheriton, Newington, Lympne and Peene. We ask for a minimum of two working days' notice for all deliveries. Get in touch to confirm availability for your postcode.

Q: How long can I keep the skip for?

Standard hire is 1-2 weeks. If your project runs longer, extensions are available at £50 per week. Just contact us and we'll extend your hire period.

Folkestone Skip Hire You Can Count On

Folkestone is a busy coastal town with a constant stream of renovation and clearance work. The ongoing regeneration around the Harbour Arm and Creative Quarter generates significant demand, alongside older Victorian and Edwardian terraces in areas like Foord, The Leas and along Sandgate Road. Newer housing around Cheriton and Park Farm brings its share of garden clearances and building waste too.

We serve all Folkestone postcodes: CT19 and CT20, along with parts of CT18. We also cover the surrounding areas, including Hawkinge, Sandgate, Capel-le-Ferne, Cheriton, Newington, Lympne and Peene.
