We provide cheap, local and reliable domestic skip hire in Stockton-on-Tees 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 Stockton-on-Tees
Stockton-on-Tees is a market town in County Durham, sitting on the north bank of the Tees around four miles west of Middlesbrough, with a population of around 85,000. It was granted its market charter by the Bishop of Durham in 1310, and its High Street — one of the widest in England, broad enough that the market has traded down its centre for over seven centuries — remains the town's defining feature.
Stockton holds a central place in the history of transport. On 27 September 1825 the Stockton and Darlington Railway opened, with George Stephenson driving Locomotion No. 1 along the line — the first public railway in the world to use steam locomotives, carrying passengers as well as coal. The line terminated at Stockton's quayside, and the town has long claimed the birth of the railway as its own; the bicentenary in 2025 brought major celebrations along the route.
The town had another significant first. In 1826 John Walker, a Stockton chemist, invented the friction match — the first match that could be struck to light — selling the first ones from his shop on the High Street. He never patented the invention, and others made the fortune, but a memorial marks his achievement. Thomas Sheraton, the great eighteenth-century furniture designer whose name became synonymous with an entire style, was born in Stockton in 1751.
The town's Georgian and Victorian High Street centres on the Town Hall of 1735 and the Shambles market hall, and Preston Park Museum, on the southern edge, houses a fully recreated Victorian street along with the Butterfly Room and fine collections. The Tees Barrage, completed in 1995, turned the tidal river into a permanent freshwater stretch and created the Tees Barrage International White Water Centre, one of the best artificial white-water courses in Britain. Stockton International Riverside Festival each summer is one of the leading outdoor arts festivals in Europe.
Stockton sits on the A66 and A19, with Stockton and Thornaby stations giving services to Middlesbrough, Newcastle, Darlington and York, and Teesside International Airport a short drive west. Housing ranges from Georgian property around the High Street and Norton's green — Norton village retains a fine historic core — to Victorian terraces, interwar and post-war estates at Hardwick and Roseworth, and substantial modern development at Ingleby Barwick, once one of the largest private housing developments in Europe.
