Skip hire in Gloucester
Tenancy turnovers, terrace strip-outs and small refurbishments in the inner Victorian and Edwardian streets of Kingsholm, Barton and Tredworth drive most Gloucester skip bookings, with steady year-round work across the dense central terrace stock. Out across the post-war suburbs of Quedgeley, Hucclecote and Tuffley, the picture shifts to extensions, garden landscaping and full-property clearances on the larger detached and semi-detached plots. We supply sizes from 2 yard mini skips through to 12 yard maxis for full-property clearances, on a private driveway where space allows or with a Gloucestershire County Council permit arranged for kerbside placements.
Central terrace areas around Barton Street and Kingsholm Road have the on-street parking pressure typical of older inner-city streets, so a 4 yard or 6 yard skip with a road permit is the practical maximum. The historic Eastgate Street, Westgate Street and Southgate Street in the cathedral core have heavy daytime footfall and restricted retail-hours loading windows, and we plan delivery slots around them. Suburban estates along Bristol Road in Quedgeley and Hucclecote Road have driveways laid out for cars, where 8 yard or 12 yard skips on the drive are common for kitchen, bathroom and extension work.
Gloucestershire County Council requires a minimum of 12 calendar days notice for skip permit applications, longer than most English councils. Every hire is delivered through a licensed waste carrier registered with the Environment Agency, and the application is arranged on your behalf via the council's online system.
What can you put in a skip in Gloucester?
Most general waste is fine: rubble, soil, timber, plasterboard, furniture, mattresses, garden waste, scrap metal, and mixed renovation waste. The main banned items are asbestos, tyres, batteries, paint and liquids, gas canisters, fluorescent tubes, and fridges or freezers, all of which need a separate disposal route.
If you are unsure about a specific item, call us before you load it.

Common questions
Gloucester skip hire FAQs
How much is skip hire in Gloucester?
Skip hire in Gloucester starts from around £150 for a 2 yard, with delivery, collection and disposal included. See the price table above for each size up to the 12 yard. Gloucestershire County Council’s road permit is £90 for 28 days, added only when the skip cannot sit on a driveway.
How far ahead should I book a road skip in Gloucester?
Gloucestershire County Council requires a minimum of 12 calendar days’ notice for a skip permit, longer than most English councils, so for a kerbside skip in the inner terraces we book around two weeks ahead. A driveway placement in the suburbs needs no permit, so same-day delivery is often possible subject to availability.
What size skip suits a terrace strip-out in Barton or Kingsholm?
The inner terraces around Barton Street and Kingsholm Road have the on-street parking pressure typical of older inner-city streets, so a 4 yard or 6 yard skip with a road permit is the practical maximum. A single-room strip-out fits a 4 yard, while a full tenancy turnover needs a 6 yard.
Can I put a skip on Eastgate or Westgate Street in Gloucester?
The historic cathedral-core streets, Eastgate, Westgate and Southgate Street, have heavy daytime footfall and restricted retail-hours loading windows, so we schedule the drop and collection around them and place the skip at the nearest workable point with a permit. Most residential jobs sit better on a side street or driveway.
Do you deliver skips to Quedgeley and Hucclecote?
Yes. The post-war suburbs of Quedgeley, Hucclecote and Tuffley, on roads like Bristol Road and Hucclecote Road, have driveways laid out for cars, so an 8 yard or 12 yard skip on the drive handles kitchen, bathroom and extension work with no permit at all.
