The 4 yard midi skip is the domestic workhorse. It is the size most people book for a kitchen or bathroom refit, a medium garden clearance, or a household clear-out that is more than a single room but short of a full renovation. It holds a genuinely useful amount without taking over the driveway.
It also strikes a sensible balance on weight. It takes mixed renovation waste including a fair amount of rubble, so you are not forced into two skips for a job that produces both. If the load is almost entirely heavy, a smaller skip is often better value.

Dimensions and access
Will a 4 yard skip fit?
A 4 yard skip measures roughly 2.1 m long, 1.5 m wide, 0.9 m high.
A 4 yard skip still fits on most driveways comfortably, which is a large part of why it is such a popular domestic choice. Where access is tight or the skip has to go on the road, we confirm placement and arrange any permit when you book.
Placement and access are confirmed when you book, so there are no surprises on delivery day.
Heavy waste
Good for mixed and moderate heavy waste.
A 4 yard skip handles mixed renovation waste well, including a reasonable amount of soil and rubble alongside lighter material. If your load is almost entirely heavy, a 2 yard skip is usually the better value, because dense waste hits the weight limit before it fills a larger skip.
Choosing a size
Is this the right size, or should you go up or down?
Drop down if the job is a single room, tight on access, or the waste is mostly heavy.
Go up for a whole-house renovation, trade work or a large clear-out.
