Since this is the smallest and most compact size of skip we offer, it is optimal for the more petite DIY jobs that only accumulate small quantities of rubbish. For those with a few bits and bobs to get done that don't fancy frequently trekking to the tip, this size is ideal.
This is the preferred size for those more substantial clean ups (for example following a garden clearance or minor construction work). It also works well for projects which are likely to create some hardcore waste, including concrete, tiles or bricks, for example.
This size caters for more modest-sized home clearances, particularly where the property includes attics, garages or basements. They are also highly sought after by professional builders and other contractors.
This is the most favourable skip amongst construction workers. Owing to their large capacity, they are useful for major clear outs and the waste these create. This type is also suitable for DIY work and renovations, big and small, and the volumes of waste they make.
If brave enough to proceed with a large-sized renovation project, we recommend a couple of these, mid-size skips. Since these kinds of projects often produce dense waste, filling an 18 yard skip with the junk would be too heavy to lift and transport. Instead, you should split the load into numerous, smaller ones.
This category is best for those more generously sized property clearances and commercial properties being decluttered. If you're having a major overhaul of your old junk, a 12 yard skip will best suit you. It is also fantastic for lengthy and wider matter.
When huge properties undergo DIY work and various projects, they will require this kind of capacity. The size is also ideal for businesses seeking to clear and organise their space.
This is the biggest skip of all, which means it is optimal for incredibly hefty projects, or even a couple of different DIY jobs (unless the weight is too great to safely lift and transport).
