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 go on a public road, pavement or verge.
We handle the permit process for you – just choose the road permit option when you book and we’ll submit the application to Medway Council on your behalf. The fee is £100 for a 2-week period. Make sure to allow at least 5 working days before your planned delivery date, as permit applications can’t be fast-tracked.

Frequently Asked Questions
Only if the skip needs to go on a public road or pavement. If it's sitting on your driveway or private land, no permit is required. For road placements, a skip permit is needed from Medway Council. The fee is £100 and covers a 2-week hire period. We take care of the application for you - just select the road permit option when booking and allow at least 5 working days before your delivery date.
Pricing varies depending on the skip size and your exact location. For guidance: a 4-yard skip starts 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. Request a quote to confirm your exact price.
An 8-yard builders skip is the most popular choice for a full house clearance - it holds roughly 80 bin bags, which suits most properties. For a single room or small bathroom refit, a 4-yard skip is usually enough. If you're clearing a larger period property around The Vines or the High Street, consider stepping up to a 12-yard to avoid needing a second delivery.
Absolutely. We deliver across Rochester and the surrounding areas, including Borstal, Troy Town, Cuxton, Halling, Wouldham, Blue Bell Hill and St Margaret's. We ask for a minimum of two working days' notice for all deliveries. Get in touch to check availability for your postcode.
