Gravesend Skip Hire You Can Count On
Gravesend sits on the south bank of the Thames and is one of north Kent’s busiest towns for renovation and clearance work. From the Victorian terraces near the High Street and Windmill Hill to post-war estates around Perry Street and Riverview Park, and newer housing at Singlewell, there’s always a project on the go. Whether you’re stripping out a kitchen, clearing a garden or managing site waste, we deliver skips to suit.
We cover all Gravesend postcodes: DA11, DA12 and DA13. Our delivery area extends to Shorne, Higham, Cobham, Chalk, Meopham, Istead Rise, Vigo, Sole Street and Painters Ash.

Council Skip Permits
Placing a skip on your own driveway or private property requires no permit. You only need one if the skip has to sit on a public road, pavement or verge.
We handle the full permit application process for you. Choose the road permit option when placing your order and we’ll submit the paperwork to Kent County Council Highways on your behalf. The permit costs £100, covering a 2-week hire period. You’ll need to allow at least 5 working days before your planned delivery date – permit applications can’t be fast-tracked.

Frequently Asked Questions
Only if the skip needs to go on a public road or pavement. Skips placed on driveways or private land don't require a permit at all. For road placements, a skip permit is required from Kent County Council Highways. The cost is £100 and covers a period of up to 2 weeks. We take care of the application for you - select the permit option when you book and allow at least 5 working days before your preferred delivery date.
It depends on the skip size and your exact location. As a guide: a 4-yard skip starts from £230, 6-yard from £270, 8-yard from £300 and 12-yard from £400. All prices exclude VAT and are effective from January 2026. Get a quote to confirm the exact price for your postcode.
An 8-yard builder's skip is the go-to choice for a full house clearance - it holds around 80 bin bags, which covers most properties. For a single room or small bathroom strip-out, a 4-yard skip is usually enough. If you're clearing a larger family home in Singlewell or one of the bigger Victorian properties near the town centre, stepping up to a 12-yard can save you the cost of a second delivery.
Absolutely. We deliver right across the Gravesend area and the surrounding villages, including Shorne, Higham, Cobham, Chalk, Meopham, Istead Rise, Vigo, Sole Street and Painters Ash. We ask for a minimum of two working days' notice on all deliveries. Get in touch to check availability for your postcode.
Standard hire is 1-2 weeks. If your project runs longer, we offer extensions at £50 per week. Just give us a call before your hire period ends and we'll extend it for you - no fuss.
