Sheerness Skip Hire You Can Count On
Sheerness is a coastal port town with a real mix of work going on. The seafront terraces in Marine Town and Victorian housing around Mile Town keep us busy with home renovations, while Blue Town and the industrial estates around the port drive steady demand from builders and commercial sites. We also cover the newer estates inland towards Halfway Houses and the holiday-home turnover along the Sheppey coast.
We serve the ME12 postcode across Sheerness and the surrounding Isle of Sheppey areas, including Blue Town, Marine Town, Mile Town, Halfway Houses, Minster-on-Sea, Scrapsgate, Eastchurch, Warden and Leysdown.

Council Skip Permits
Planning to put the skip on your drive or other private land? No permit is needed. A permit is only required if the skip has to sit on a public road, pavement or verge.
We’ll sort the permit application for you. Just tick the road permit option when you book, and we’ll submit everything to Kent County Council Highways on your behalf. The permit fee is £100 and covers a 2-week period. Give us at least 5 working days before your delivery date – the council doesn’t rush these through, so a little lead time is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
That depends on where you're putting it. On your drive or any private land, no permit is needed. If the skip has to sit on a public road or pavement in Sheerness, you'll need a skip permit from Kent County Council Highways. The fee is £100 and it covers a 2-week window. We handle the application for you - pick the permit option when booking and allow at least 5 working days before delivery.
Prices depend on the size you need and your exact postcode. As a guide for Sheerness (ME12): 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 for your job.
For a full clearance, most Sheerness customers go for an 8-yard builders skip - it holds roughly 80 bin bags, which handles most properties. If you're only tackling one or two rooms, a 4-yard skip is usually enough. For a big job like clearing a Victorian terrace in Marine Town or Mile Town, it's often worth sizing up to a 12-yard and saving the hassle of a second skip.
Yes. We cover the whole Isle of Sheppey, including Blue Town, Marine Town, Halfway Houses, Minster-on-Sea, Scrapsgate, Eastchurch, Warden, Leysdown and Queenborough. We ask for a minimum of two working days' notice on all deliveries. Get in touch to confirm availability for your postcode.
Standard hire is 1-2 weeks. After that, you can extend at £50 per week. If a project's running on longer than planned, just let us know and we'll arrange it.
