Skip Hire Is another Great Option for Clearing Away Waste

When you hire a waste skip from us, you can keep it nearby and throw away waste in it at multiple stages of your work, as opposed to the one-off visit in our other collection services. This offers great convenience especially when there is a construction project in progress at your premises or you are doing a garden makeover or simply want to clear away the clutter in several stages. The skip will be placed near your London home, either on your property or on the road or another piece of public land. We offer a number of skip hire sizes too, all at pleasantly low costs, to suit the needs of different projects.
Can You Proceed Without a Skip Permit?
As already mentioned, you could have the waste skip you hire put in different places. In some cases, you will be required to obtain a special skip licence from the local council so that the skip doesn’t violate local laws or obstruct traffic. But in case the skip is placed on private property in London, no such permits or licences will be required, as it will be taking up space on private land and won’t be hazardous to public safety. Depending on what type of property you have, you could have the skip placed in your backyard, in your driveway or on your front lawn. However, it is often not advisable to leave the skip on the lawn for longer periods as it may damage the grass. The best bit about placing the skip on private property is that you will spare yourself paying the skip permit cost and going through all the procedures of obtaining the licence.
When Will You Need a Skip Licence?
In all cases when the hired skip has to be placed on public property, you will have to apply for a valid skip permit with the local council that governs the London area you live in. For instance, if your property, and more importantly the public land you intend to put the skip on, is located in Brixton, you will have to contact the Lambeth Council for a permit. You can have the skip deposited on a public road or at a parking lot. However, depending on the local rules and restrictions, in case the skip is deposited at a place that has parking restrictions, you may also have to cover the parking bay suspension fees for it. This will add to the total skip permit cost, but in some cases there is no other alternative than using restricted parking areas, as placing the skip on the road beside your home may endanger public safety and obstruct traffic in London.

Contacting Your Local Council for a Skip Licence
If you are still wondering how to apply for a skip permit, you shouldn’t get too worried, as the procedure is not that complicated at all. What you will have to do is contact the respective department of your local administration that deals with issuing permits and parking permissions and fill in an application form. Every council in London has its own website that has a special section dedicated to the regulations and procedures for using waste skips and obtaining permits for them. You can go to the website of your local council and familiarise yourself with the regulations and also see the skip permit prices for different time periods. Each council also has an online application form that you can easily fill with the details of where your property is located and where and for how long the skip will be deposited, etc. We can guide you through filling the forms too, if you feel stuck at some point – just call us on 020 3743 0222 for assistance.
When Will Parking Suspension Fees Be Added to the Skip Permit Cost?
In the cases when you want the skip to be deposited in a restricted parking area in London, you will have to pay the relevant suspension fees for the parking space, in addition to the cost of the skip licence. However, you should be aware of the fact that the suspension of the parking spot for your skip is subject to approval granted by the local council authorities and your application for the parking bay suspension may be rejected. Also, the council can only grant you suspension of a parking spot if it is located in a restricted parking zone; if there are no parking restrictions applicable in the area, you can’t reserve your spot – but in that case you will not have to pay parking fees either, and you will only have to cover the skip permit cost.
Additional Skip Hire Restrictions
Depending on the specific council regulations, in addition to obtaining a skip permit for your waste skip or builders skip in London, you may have to comply with a number of different restrictions and meet certain requirements as well. These can be specific regulations for the marking of the skip, light indicators to prevent incidents at night, the availability of all the documentation on site for inspection, intervals of the day during which the skip should not be filled so as to avoid disturbing the peace, etc. Usually there is also a requirement that the skip is clearly marked with the company name, address and phone number of the owner/skip company. You should check these restrictions with your local authorities and make sure to comply with all of them to avoid being fined.
The Skip Permit Prices Vary with the Different Councils
Each borough council in London has its own price list for issuing and renewing skip permits and different durations of time for which the permit is issued. In addition, the time for processing your request will also vary depending on where you are located, but it usually takes councils around 5 to 10 working days to process an application. For example, if you would like to apply for a licence for a builders skip in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, you will have to pay an application fee of £89 and the permit will be valid for a 3-month period. The renewal fee is also £89. On the other hand, there are several options for a skip licence from the Wandsworth council: a 5-day licence and a 4-day licence cost £32.50 each and a licence for 28 days costs £62.70. The renewal fees are as follows: £32.50 for 5 days, £32.50 for 14 days and £62.70 for 28 days. These prices don’t include parking bay suspension fees, which should be paid separately, if applicable.
