We provide cheap, local and reliable domestic skip hire in Brackley 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 Brackley
Brackley is a market town in south Northamptonshire, sitting between Oxford and Northampton close to the Buckinghamshire border, with a population of around 16,000. It was an important place in the medieval period, granted a charter in the twelfth century and prospering on the wool trade — it was one of the staple towns for wool export and had its own castle and a hospital of St James and St John. Brackley's fortunes declined after the wool trade moved on, and by the eighteenth century it was best known as a rotten borough returning two MPs from a tiny electorate before the 1832 Reform Act.
The town's broad, sloping High Street and Market Place preserve that older prosperity, lined with Georgian and earlier frontages and closed at the top by the Grade II* listed Town Hall of 1706, built by the Duke of Bridgewater. Magdalen College School, founded in the fifteenth century as part of Magdalen College Oxford, still occupies the medieval hospital chapel site, and St Peter's Church at the lower end of town has Norman origins. Much of the centre is a conservation area with a substantial number of listed buildings.
Brackley's modern identity is bound up with motorsport. The town sits in the heart of Motorsport Valley, and the former Brackley aerodrome site houses the headquarters of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One team, which has employed well over a thousand people locally and won eight consecutive constructors' championships from 2014. The site's Formula One lineage runs back through Brawn GP, Honda, BAR and Tyrrell, and the industry has brought a substantial base of skilled engineering employment to a small market town.
Brackley sits on the A43 between the M40 at Ardley and the M1 at Northampton, with Banbury station around ten miles west giving services to London Marylebone and Birmingham, and Bicester Village station similarly close. The town lost its own railway in the 1960s — the Great Central Main Line ran through Brackley Central, and parts of the trackbed are now being used by HS2. Neighbouring communities include Silverstone, home of the British Grand Prix circuit, along with Syresham, Croughton, Middleton Cheney, Buckingham and Towcester.
Housing in Brackley ranges from Georgian and earlier stone property along the High Street and Market Place to Victorian terraces, interwar and post-war housing, and very substantial modern development on the town's eastern and southern edges, where Brackley has roughly doubled in size since the 1980s. The local stone gives much of the older fabric its warm ironstone colour. The combination of motorsport employment, Oxford and Milton Keynes commuting and relative affordability has kept demand strong and growth continuous.
