We regularly deliver to both homeowners tackling improvements and tradespeople working across the borough.

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 full permit application on your behalf. Select the road permit option when you book and we’ll submit the application to Kent County Council Highways for you. The fee is £100 and covers a 2-week hire period. Make sure to allow at least 5 working days before your delivery date – permit applications can’t be fast-tracked.

Permit pricing is subject to change. Confirm the current rate at the time of booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Only if the skip is going on a public road or pavement. If it's sitting on your driveway or any private land, no permit is required. For road placements, a skip permit is needed from Kent County Council Highways. The fee is £100 and covers a 2-week period. We take care of the application for you - just choose the permit option when you book, and allow at least 5 working days before your delivery date.

Pricing is based on your postcode and the skip size you need. As a starting point: 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 your exact cost.

An 8-yard builder's skip is the most popular choice for a full house clearance - it holds roughly 80 bin bags and suits the majority of properties. For a single room or small bathroom refit, a 4-yard skip is usually enough. If you're clearing a larger period property near the High Street or along Hadlow Road, it's worth stepping up to a 12-yard to avoid needing a second delivery.

Yes. We deliver across the whole Tonbridge area, including Hildenborough, Hadlow, East Peckham, Shipbourne, Tudeley, Leigh, Bidborough, Plaxtol and Five Oak Green. We ask for a minimum of two working days' notice on all deliveries. Contact us to check availability for your postcode.
