We provide cheap, local and reliable domestic skip hire in Llandrindod Wells 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 Llandrindod Wells
Llandrindod Wells is a spa town in Powys, mid Wales, sitting in the Ithon valley around 30 miles north of Brecon, with a population of around 5,000. It is the largest town in Radnorshire and the administrative centre of Powys, and it exists in its present form almost entirely because of its mineral springs. The waters — saline, sulphur, magnesium and chalybeate, an unusually varied group in one small area — had been known locally for centuries, but it was the arrival of the Central Wales Railway in 1865 that turned Llandrindod into a full Victorian spa resort.
The town was built almost from scratch in a few decades, and the result is one of the most complete Victorian and Edwardian townscapes in Wales — broad streets, ornate ironwork, glazed verandas, large hotels and boarding houses, all in a consistent style and largely unaltered. At its height around 80,000 visitors a year came to take the waters, and the town had pump rooms, a lake, bowling greens and extensive pleasure grounds. Rock Park, with its restored pump room and chalybeate spring, and the boating lake remain the focus of the town's public realm.
That architectural coherence has given Llandrindod a second life as a period town. It holds an annual Victorian Festival each August, when much of the population dresses in period costume and the town stages street entertainment, drawing visitors from across Britain. The Radnorshire Museum and the National Cycle Collection, housed in the former Automobile Palace, are among its attractions.
The surrounding area is thinly populated upland — Radnorshire is one of the least densely populated parts of England and Wales — with hill farming, forestry and the Elan Valley reservoirs to the west. The Cambrian Mountains, the Wye valley and Rhayader are all close by, and the area has some of the darkest night skies in Britain.
Llandrindod sits on the A483 and A4081, with Llandrindod station on the Heart of Wales Line — a famously scenic route running from Shrewsbury to Swansea — giving services in both directions. Neighbouring communities include Builth Wells, Rhayader, Crossgates, Howey and Newbridge-on-Wye.
Housing in Llandrindod is dominated by its resort era, with large Victorian and Edwardian villas, terraces and former hotels and boarding houses — a great many long since converted into flats, care homes and guest accommodation — alongside interwar and post-war housing and modest modern development. Much of the town is a conservation area, property is among the most affordable in Wales, and the maintenance of large period buildings is a persistent local challenge.
