Skip Hire - what are the going rates?

[Smiler.]

Just phoned a local chap who want's £250 (inc VAT) for a 6 yard skip.

Am I getting my pants pulled down?

[eps]

How big and which ports is it going to and from?

[Deisel Weisel]

That’s VERY cheap. Be sure to be sitting down if you try getting a supertanker quote.

[Smiler.]

Oh FFS.

Stern face!!

Sounds about right I guess, we paid £265 for an 8 yard one recently. Depends what everyone charges in your area, ring around a few places to see what they say.

Same - just paid £240 for a 6yard in NE Hants. When we started our renovation 5 years ago we were paying c£170 for a 6 yard. It's worth shopping about. We've tried Hippo bags a few times but you can't get as much in. Depending what you're getting rid of, have you looked at a grab lorry? I've got c50t of soil to go and the grab lorry is working out much cheaper.

Paid £270 for a skip, well 2, a few months ago but was 8 yards - SE London.

Be careful though, turns out both my colleague and I used the same company at about the same time and both had our cards cloned at the beginning of this month....coincidence?

Has Boycie asked you to go to Amsterdam again?








I have changed the title to 'Skip' for you.

Last I had one it was £280 all in in Berkshire.

Mange tout!

And cheers


Looks like price quoted is legit then. Thanks for the replies.

[Big Al.]

Just checked the price of a 6yrd, £228 + Vat.

= £274 inc Vat.

I rented a 6 yard one one in Bristol back in May. It was £210 inc. VAT.

HTH

[ARHarh]

Got an 8 yard sitting on my drive £204 all in. North Shropshire.

[andy43]

8 yard £210 inc vat Stockport/NW about a month ago. Used to be half that. Blame council/govt green/recycling charges.

[pdavison]

£260 for an 8 yard in Surrey, lost count of how many we've had by now!

[E36GUY]

Think we paid about £240 for an 8 yard earlier this year.

[GetCarter]

One of the disadvantages of living 80 miles from the nearest skip hire = £550+ for a 6 yard here.

[CardShark]

Had an 8yd skip picked up yesterday, had it for two weeks at a cost of £250 inc vodka and tonic and the permit for having it on the road. I think it was £225 for the skip and £25 for the permit, Essex area.

[48Valves]

Just had an 8 yard for £222 in Cambridgeshire
