Skip hire
Commercial skip hire
Skip hire for builders, trades, landlords and businesses. Reliable collections sized to what your site produces, several sites on one account, and a price confirmed upfront.
Commercial skip hire is skip hire built around how a business or a site actually works, rather than a single skip for a single job. The waste comes in on a schedule, so the service is set up around collection frequency, the right sizes for what each site produces, and paperwork that stands up to inspection.
The practical difference from booking a one-off skip is the account. One agreement covers every site and every collection, the price is agreed in advance, and the waste transfer paperwork is issued and kept current for you. For a trade running several jobs, or a business clearing on a rota, that takes away the admin of arranging and reconciling each skip on its own.
When it fits
Who it is for
You run a site or a trade
Builders, groundworkers, fit-out and maintenance teams who produce waste on a schedule and need collections that keep pace rather than hold the job up.
You manage property or facilities
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams clearing units, communal areas or end-of-tenancy waste, who want one number to call rather than a call centre.
You have more than one location
Several sites on one account and one invoice, with the same terms everywhere, instead of a different provider and a different rate at each address.
You need the paperwork right
Waste transfer documentation issued for every collection, so your duty of care under the Environmental Protection Act is covered without a scramble at inspection.
Sizing a skip to a working site
The right size on a commercial site is the one that matches your turnover, not the biggest one available. A skip that fills in a day and then stands full holds the job up as much as one that is too small. We look at what you produce and how often, and a smaller skip collected more frequently often keeps a site cleaner than a large one emptied rarely.
Waste type matters as much as volume. Heavy waste such as soil, rubble and concrete hits a skip weight limit long before it fills, so for those we point you to a grab lorry or a smaller skip rather than let you pay to part-fill a large one.
Duty of care and the paperwork
Every business that produces waste has a legal duty of care under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to make sure it is handled by a licensed carrier and can be traced. In practice that means a waste transfer note for every collection, kept for two years, and consignment notes where hazardous waste is involved.
On a commercial account that documentation is issued for each collection and kept current, so when an inspector or a client audit asks for it, it is already in order rather than something to reconstruct after the fact.
One account across several sites
Businesses that grew site by site often end up with a different skip provider at each address, each on its own rate and its own invoice, and nobody comparing them. Bringing them onto one account puts every site on the same terms and one invoice, which usually cuts both the rate and the admin.
It also means one number to call when a collection needs bringing forward or an extra skip is needed, rather than starting again with a new supplier for each location.
How it works
From enquiry to collection
- 1
Tell us the postcode or postcodes, the type of waste, and roughly how much you produce and how often.
- 2
We confirm the right skip sizes and collection frequency for the site, and whether any placement needs a road permit.
- 3
You get an itemised price before you commit. Collections start on the agreed dates and the duty-of-care paperwork is issued and kept current.
Worth knowing
What we can and cannot promise
- Coverage is confirmed by postcode. We arrange collections across the UK but check your area before quoting rather than promising blanket coverage.
- Same-day and next-day collections depend on availability in your area and the time you book. We never guarantee a slot we cannot fill.
- For heavy waste such as soil, rubble and concrete in volume, a grab lorry is often the better and cheaper option, and we will say so.
Other options
If this is not the right fit
- Grab lorry hire
For large volumes of loose soil, rubble, hardcore or aggregate.
- Skip sizes
To pick the right size for a specific job.
- Same day skip hire
When a collection cannot wait, subject to availability.
Common questions
Frequently asked
Do you offer trade or business accounts?
Yes. Businesses with regular waste, or several sites, can run on one account and one invoice with the same terms at each location. Tell us the postcodes and volumes and we will set the service to match.
Can you cover multiple sites on one invoice?
Yes. Multi-site collections go on a single account, which removes the common situation where each location has ended up with a different provider and a different rate and nobody is comparing them.
What paperwork do we get?
Waste transfer documentation for every collection, and consignment notes where hazardous waste is involved. Keeping it current is our job, and it is what an inspector asks to see.
How much does commercial skip hire cost?
It depends on the sizes, the frequency and the postcode. We itemise the quote so you can see exactly what you are paying for. See indicative prices on our skip prices page, or get a quote for your sites.
