Margate Skip Hire You Can Count On
Margate is a busy coastal town with a steady demand for skip hire. Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Cliftonville and the Old Town keep renovation work ticking over year-round, while seafront properties and holiday lets generate regular clearance jobs. Whether it’s a kitchen refit in Westbrook, a garden overhaul in Palm Bay or a commercial strip-out along the High Street, we handle waste removal for domestic and trade customers across the town.
We serve all Margate postcodes: CT9. We also cover the surrounding areas, including Cliftonville, Westbrook, Garlinge, Palm Bay, Northdown, Dane Valley, Birchington and Westgate-on-Sea.

Council Skip Permits
Placing a skip on your own driveway or private land doesn’t require a permit. You’ll only need one if the skip has to sit on a public road, pavement or verge.
We handle the entire permit process on your behalf. When you book, choose the road permit option and we’ll submit the application to Kent County Council Highways. The fee is £100 for a 2-week permit. Make sure to allow a minimum of 5 working days before your planned delivery – the council won’t fast-track applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Only if the skip is going on a public road or pavement. Skips placed on driveways or private land don't need a permit. For road placements, a skip permit is required from Kent County Council Highways. The fee is £100 and covers up to 2 weeks. We take care of the application for you - just select the permit option when booking and allow at least 5 working days before your delivery date.
Pricing is based on skip size and your delivery postcode. Starting prices are: 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. Prices may be higher depending on your specific location - get a quote to confirm the exact cost for your postcode.
An 8-yard builders skip is the most popular choice for a full house clearance - it holds roughly 80 bin bags and covers most properties. A 4-yard skip works well if you're only clearing a couple of rooms. If you're tackling a larger Victorian terrace in Cliftonville or a seafront property with multiple floors, it's worth going up to a 12-yard to avoid needing a second delivery.
