Skip Hire in Hawkinge, Kent

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

It depends on where the skip will sit. On your driveway or any private land, no permit is required. If it has to go on a public road or pavement, you'll need a skip permit from Kent County Council Highways. The fee is £100 and covers a 2-week period. We handle the application for you - choose the permit option when booking and allow at least 5 working days before your delivery date.

Q: How much does skip hire in Hawkinge cost?

Prices depend on your postcode and the size you need. 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 to confirm your exact price.

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

For a full clearance, most customers in Hawkinge go for an 8-yard builders skip. It holds around 80 bin bags, which covers most properties. For clearing just one or two rooms, a 4-yard skip is usually enough. If you're working on a larger detached home off Aerodrome Road or a long-occupied family property, it's worth sizing up to a 12-yard to avoid a second delivery.

Q: Can you deliver to Capel-le-Ferne, Densole or Lyminge?

Yes. Our delivery area covers Hawkinge and the surrounding villages, including Capel-le-Ferne, Densole, Paddlesworth, Etchinghill, Swingfield, Lyminge and Newington. We need a minimum of two working days' notice for 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. After that, extensions are available at £50 per week. If you're partway through a bigger project and need longer, just get in touch and we'll arrange it.
