Skip hire FAQs.
We provide cheap, local and reliable domestic skip hire in Llanidloes 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!

Local area guide
Skip hire in Llanidloes
Llanidloes is a small market town in Powys, mid Wales, sitting on the upper reaches of the River Severn around 30 miles west of Newtown, with a population of around 2,900. It is the first town on the Severn as the river runs down from its source on Plynlimon a few miles to the west, and it grew as an agricultural market centre for the surrounding uplands. The town later developed a flannel and woollen industry, and in 1839 it was the site of the Chartist Riots, when local Chartists took control of the town for several days — one of the most significant episodes of the movement in Wales.
The town's defining landmark is the Old Market Hall, a black-and-white timber-framed building of around 1600 standing on stone pillars at the crossroads where the four main streets meet — the only surviving half-timbered market hall in Wales. John Wesley preached from a stone beneath it in 1748. St Idloes' Church, with its fifteenth-century tower and arcade brought from the dissolved Abbeycwmhir, sits nearby, and the town centre retains a well-preserved Georgian and Victorian streetscape with a strong independent retail character.
Llanidloes sits on the A470 and A492, with Newtown, Machynlleth, Aberystwyth and Rhayader all within reasonable reach, though the town has no railway station — Caersws, a few miles north, is the nearest on the Cambrian Line. Its position makes it a natural base for the surrounding uplands: Llyn Clywedog reservoir sits just north-west, the Hafren Forest and the Severn's source lie beyond, and the Glyndŵr's Way National Trail passes through the town. Nearby communities include Llangurig, Caersws, Trefeglwys, Staylittle and Van.
Housing in Llanidloes is largely traditional, with stone and rendered Georgian and Victorian townhouses and terraces along Great Oak Street, Longbridge Street and China Street — much of the centre within a conservation area with a high concentration of listed buildings — alongside interwar and post-war housing and small modern estates on the edges of town. The wider area is rural, with stone farmhouses, cottages and converted agricultural buildings, and a steady market in holiday lets and second homes. Older stone property generates a consistent flow of re-roofs, stonework and render repairs, rewires, window replacements and full internal refurbishments.
That mix of period renovation, rural property work and holiday-let refurbishment keeps skip hire in Llanidloes in steady demand, whether it's a townhouse refurbishment on Great Oak Street, a cottage renovation in one of the outlying hamlets, a barn conversion clear-out, a garden clearance on one of the newer estates or a farm building strip-out. Skips are available in a range of sizes to suit everything from a small domestic clear-out to a large renovation project, and while rural properties and modern housing usually have space for a skip on private land without a permit, the narrow streets in the town centre have very limited off-road parking, so a permit from Powys County Council will be needed where the skip has to sit on the road — and access is worth checking on the tighter lanes. Booking a few days ahead helps secure the right size and allows time for any permit.
