We provide cheap, local and reliable domestic skip hire in Bognor Regis and within a 30 mile radius.
It’s not just a case of how much waste you have! You also need to consider how much room you have on your site and will then need to think about the type of waste you will be disposing of. For example if the waste is heavy (e.g. soil/brick/rubble) then you will be restricted as to how large a skip you can have.
When only a single skip is expected, we strongly believe that it’s better to hire a skip that you may not quite fill, as opposed to ordering a skip which ends up being too small meaning a second skip is then required as a result. In other words it’s better to overestimate than underestimate!
When filling a skip it can only be loaded up to the level of the actual skip itself.
It is important that your site foreman and operatives are aware of this as it is actually against the law for drivers to carry over loaded skips on the highways. Likewise, using boards around the skip in an attempt to increase it’s capacity (known in the trade as ‘greedy boards’) is illegal.
If a driver arrives on site to find an overloaded skip they are likely to turn away and leave without the skip, thus potentially incurring additional transport charges.
Though we try to be as flexible with hire periods as possible, as a general rule the maximum hire period is 7 days.
Of course should your site be an ongoing one where numerous skips are required and exchanged on a regular basis then there is nothing to worry about. If however, you require a skip that is likely to be needed for more than 7 days without exchanges, we request you inform us at the time of ordering as a rental charge may be applicable.
Yes. Though any skip that needs to be sited on a public highway, pavement or council owned verge, first requires permission from the local authority responsible.
Though the charges involved and the length of time it takes an application to be processed varies from council to council, in the vast majority of cases we can arrange the required permit on your behalf. Depending on the local authority in question, application periods can be anything from ‘same day’ to 4 weeks, so when you know that a permit is likely to be required on an upcoming site it is vital that you give us as much notice as possible to avoid any unnecessary delays.
Please also note that as the hirer, the lighting and coning of the skip whilst it is placed on public land is your responsibility, though we are usually able to arrange for the hire of these items on your behalf too.
A standard skip or roll-on-off vehicle usually requires a minimum of 10ft (3.3m) width and approximately 13ft (4m) headroom to safely gain access to a site. If your site access falls a little below these requirements we are able to (in most areas) arrange for smaller skips (depending on waste type) to be delivered on smaller lorries.
If you are in any doubt about the access to your sites, we are here to help, so just ask!
There are certain types of waste that cannot be placed in general waste skips under any circumstances.
Examples of such waste types include (but are not limited to): asbestos, fridges, freezers, batteries, tyres, gas cannisters, paint tins, food waste, fluorescent tubes, liquids, TV sets, computer monitors, plasterboard, electrical items (WEEE), mattresses, tree stumps, tree roots, carpet, vinyl, astroturf, rubber matting & roof felt.
It is vital that you always inform us of exactly what your are intending to dispose of at the time of ordering!

Skip hire in Bognor Regis
Bognor Regis is a seaside town in West Sussex, sitting on the English Channel around six miles south-east of Chichester, with a population of around 25,000. It was a small fishing hamlet until the 1780s, when Sir Richard Hotham, a London hatter and property speculator, set out to turn it into a fashionable resort to rival Brighton. He built substantial houses and a grand mansion, and tried without success to have the place renamed Hothamton. The venture never quite achieved the status he hoped for, but it established Bognor as a resort, and several of Hotham's buildings survive.
The "Regis" came in 1929, when George V spent three months convalescing at Craigweil House nearby and the town petitioned for the royal suffix, which was granted. The king's supposed dying words in 1936 — "Bugger Bognor" — are almost certainly apocryphal but have attached themselves to the town permanently. Bognor's pier, opened in 1865, has been repeatedly shortened by fire and storm but still stands, and the town hosts the International Birdman competition, in which competitors launch themselves off the pier in home-made flying machines in pursuit of a distance prize.
Butlin's opened at Bognor Regis in 1960 and remains one of the company's three surviving resorts and by far the town's largest employer and visitor draw, with its distinctive Skyline Pavilion tent visible along the seafront. The University of Chichester has a campus in the town, and the surrounding area includes Hotham Park with its Grade II listed house and grounds, and the long shingle and sand beaches running east to Felpham — where William Blake lived from 1800 to 1803 and wrote the lines that became "Jerusalem".
Bognor Regis station is the terminus of a branch from Barnham on the West Coastway line, with services to London Victoria in around an hour and three quarters and along the coast to Brighton and Portsmouth. The A29 and A259 serve the town, with the A27 a short distance north. The South Downs National Park lies inland, and neighbouring communities include Felpham, Aldwick, Pagham, Middleton-on-Sea, Barnham and Chichester.
Housing in Bognor Regis ranges from Georgian property surviving from Hotham's development around the Steyne to Victorian and Edwardian seafront terraces and villas, many long since converted into flats and HMOs, alongside interwar bungalows across Aldwick and Felpham, post-war estates, and modern development on the northern edges. The town has a notably older population and a substantial holiday-let and caravan park sector along the coast, and it has been the focus of long-running regeneration efforts around the seafront and town centre.
