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 does a skip cost in Gloucester?
Skip prices in Gloucester start from £150 for a 2 yard mini, £255 for a 4 yard midi, £335 for a 6 yard builders skip, £355 for an 8 yard large skip, and £465 for a 12 yard maxi. The Gloucestershire County Council permit fee of £90 (28-day term) is added only when the skip needs to sit on the public highway rather than a driveway.
How much does a skip permit cost in Gloucester?

Do you deliver same-day to Gloucester GL1 and GL2?
Same-day delivery is offered subject to availability across GL1, GL2, GL3 and GL4 for driveway drops, particularly in the post-war suburbs of Quedgeley, Hucclecote and Tuffley where most properties have off-road space. Road-placed skips depend on the Gloucestershire CC permit lead time, so for those we recommend booking around two and a half weeks ahead.
What size skip do I need for a home renovation in Gloucester?
Most single-room renovations (bathroom, single bedroom, small kitchen rip-out) fit a 6 yard skip. Whole-floor refurbishments in a typical inner Victorian terrace or 1960s semi usually need an 8 yard, while full-property clearances and substantial extensions on the larger Quedgeley, Hucclecote or Tuffley plots call for a 12 yard. Garden, garage or shed clear-outs across GL1 to GL4 driveways usually fit a 4 yard.
How far ahead should I book a skip in Gloucester?
For driveway drops, same-day or next-working-day is offered subject to availability. For kerbside placements that need a Gloucestershire County Council permit, the council requires a minimum of 12 calendar days notice, so we recommend booking around two and a half to three weeks ahead. Same-day driveway placement avoids the permit window entirely.
