The one you want for rubble.
The builder's skip, and the only size on this page we would put heavy inert waste in without thinking twice. Fifty to sixty bin bags, a kitchen and a bathroom in one go, and a weight allowance that survives a load of hardcore.

Why this is the one builders ask for.
It is not the biggest skip we do, and that is the point. A 6 yard is the largest size you can reliably fill with heavy waste before you run out of weight allowance rather than space.
- Capacity
- 50–60 bin bags
- Footprint
- approx. 2.6m x 1.5m
- Heavy waste
- Yes. The right size for inert loads
- Typical hire
- 1–2 weeks, swap-outs available
- Permit
- Needed if it sits on the highway
What it is built for.
Over-ordering wastes money and under-ordering wastes a delivery slot. We would rather tell you now than send you the wrong thing.
- ✓Kitchen and bathroom rip-outs
- ✓Soil, rubble, hardcore and broken concrete
- ✓Small extensions and groundworks spoil
- ✓Mixed trade waste on a working site
What we would not put in it
- ✗Bulky lightweight strip-out waste. You will run out of space, not weight, so ask for a 12 yard
- ✗Plasterboard mixed in with everything else. It has to be segregated
Not sure which side of the line your waste falls on? Ask us. It is a thirty second conversation and it saves a wasted delivery.
Three steps, and one of them is ours.
Tell us the postcode
Four fields. No account, no sign-up, and nobody rings you to qualify you before you get a number.
We price it against the market
We are a brokerage, so your job goes out to the suppliers who actually cover your postcode rather than to one depot's price list.
A real person comes back
Usually within the hour in working hours, with a price and a delivery date. If a different size saves you money, we say so.
One call instead of four.
You can do this yourself. Most people do it once and then stop, because the hour it takes is worth more than the difference it finds.
Doing it yourself
- ✗Book a skip too small and pay twice for the same waste
- ✗Discover the weight limit when the driver refuses to lift it
- ✗Wait days for a swap-out mid-job
- ✗Chase the council yourself for a highway permit
One point of contact
- ✓We size it against the job before you book
- ✓Weight allowance explained up front, in writing
- ✓Swap-outs scheduled before the skip is full
- ✓Permit applied for as part of the booking
The things people ask before booking.
More than any smaller size, but not to the brim. Heavy inert waste has a weight limit the lorry has to lift legally, so a rubble load fills the weight before it fills the box. Tell us what the material is when you enquire and we will tell you where the line is for your load.
Yes, comfortably, and usually a bathroom alongside it. Units, worktops, tiles, flooring and the plaster off the walls will fit. If you are also taking out a wall, mention it, because that changes the weight rather than the volume.
Ring us and we will swap it. We would rather book a swap-out early than have you overfill one, because an overloaded skip is one the driver is not allowed to take and you lose the slot entirely.
With a council permit, yes. Every council runs its own scheme with its own cost and lead time. We apply on your behalf, include it in the quote and supply lights and cones where they are required.
Reasonably level and firm enough to take the weight. A standard drive or a hard-surfaced site is fine. Soft ground, fresh tarmac or block paving you care about is worth mentioning, because we can put boards down.
Builder's skip, on site when you need it.
Postcode, the job, and when you want it there. We will price it against every supplier covering you.
