What moves the price of a skip

Three things change what you pay.

Size. Each step up in size costs more, and the table shows how far apart the firms are at each one.
The road permit. A skip that sits on the road needs the £78.80 permit from Hampshire County Council, which lasts 7 days.
Extra charges. Some firms add a charge per item for sofas, armchairs and mattresses, and some won’t take fridges, tyres, plasterboard or TVs at all.

Ask each firm for the full cost, permit and extras included, before you book. For a bigger job, see house clearance or rubbish removal.

Skip costs in Basingstoke: your questions

How much does a skip cost in Basingstoke?

From the prices local firms advertise, a 4 yard skip costs £210 to £286.80 and a 6 yard skip £280 to £342. An 8 yard skip runs £342 to £397.20, and a 12 yard skip £438 to £531.60. Add the £78.80 permit if it goes on the road. Two firms don't say whether their prices include VAT, so check before you book.

Do I need a permit for a skip?

A skip on the road needs a permit from Hampshire County Council. It costs £78.80 and lasts 7 days. Ask the firm whether it arranges the permit for you and what it charges.

What can't I put in a skip?

Firms often refuse or charge extra for items like mattresses, sofas, fridges, tyres, plasterboard and TVs. Ask for the firm's list before you order, so you aren't left with items it won't collect.

Do skip prices include VAT?

Some of the prices in the table exclude VAT, and for a couple of firms the page doesn't say. Check with the firm when you book so the total doesn't surprise you.

Is there a way to clear things without loading a skip?

Yes. We carry everything out from inside, so you don't lift a thing. It's the whole job in one visit, with no limit on items, and you get a price up front from your photos.
