We provide cheap, local and reliable domestic skip hire in Hammersmith and across London.
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 Hammersmith and Fulham
Hammersmith and Fulham is a borough in west London, occupying a long strip along the north bank of the Thames between Kensington and Chiswick, with a population of around 185,000. It was formed in 1965 from two separate parishes with distinct characters — Hammersmith to the north, a working river and industrial district that grew around its bridge and docks, and Fulham to the south, a village of market gardens and riverside houses that supplied London with fruit and vegetables into the nineteenth century.
The borough's riverside is its finest asset. The Upper Mall and Lower Mall at Hammersmith form a stretch of Georgian houses, boathouses and riverside pubs that has changed remarkably little — William Morris lived at Kelmscott House on the Upper Mall from 1878 until his death, founding the Kelmscott Press there and giving his name to the Hammersmith Socialist Society. Hammersmith Bridge, the first suspension bridge across the Thames in London, was rebuilt by Sir Joseph Bazalgette in 1887 and its long closure to traffic from 2019 became a national story about infrastructure neglect.
The Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge has finished at Mortlake since 1845 after starting at Putney, running the full length of the borough's river frontage — the Hammersmith and Fulham banks are among the most popular vantage points. Fulham Palace, the country residence of the Bishops of London for over a thousand years, sits beside the river with its Tudor courtyard and walled garden open to the public.
The borough is unusually dense in football and music. Craven Cottage is home to Fulham FC, Loftus Road to Queens Park Rangers, and Chelsea's Stamford Bridge sits just inside the boundary at Fulham — three professional clubs in one small borough. The Hammersmith Apollo, a 1932 art deco cinema turned concert hall, is one of the most celebrated music venues in Britain, and the Lyric Hammersmith and Riverside Studios anchor a substantial theatre and broadcasting presence.
Hammersmith is a major transport interchange, with the District, Piccadilly, Circle and Hammersmith & City lines and a large bus station, and the borough is crossed by the A4 and the Hammersmith flyover. Housing ranges from Georgian riverside houses and the Victorian terraces of Brackenbury Village and Parsons Green — among the most expensive in London — to post-war estates at White City and Charecroft, and very substantial new development at White City and Earls Court, where one of the largest regeneration schemes in Europe is underway.
