Below, we\u2019ve put together a quick guide full of all the information you could ever want to know about builder\u2019s skips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what\">What is a builder\u2019s skip?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, builder\u2019s skip is a catch-all term used to refer to our 6 yard and 8 yard skip sizes here at Skip Hire Network. Now, it can be a fairly loose term within the industry, so you might find that other skip hire companies also use it to encompass slightly smaller or larger sizes. On the whole, though, it can reliably be said to include the 6 yard to 8 yard skips at the very least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Builder\u2019s skips are highly versatile. Commercial and domestic skip hire customers alike find them spacious enough for the vast majority of jobs, but small enough to be easily accommodated on private land. This last bit is important, as it can help save you money on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skiphirenetwork.com\/news\/your-questions-answered-about-skip-hire-permits\/\">skip hire permits<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick tip on hiring a builder\u2019s skip:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re in a rush (as many people are when they\u2019re trying to hire a skip for a day), it sometimes be easy to get tripped up on the terminology for builder\u2019s skips. An especially important thing to remember is that 6 yard and 8 yard are both terms that refer to the skip\u2019s capacity, not its length. Before you hire a builder\u2019s skip, take an extra second to be clear on what its exact measurements are. Otherwise, you may well find yourself having to hire another!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"price\">How much does a builder\u2019s skip cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because our builder\u2019s skip accounts for several sizes, the price for builder\u2019s skips can range accordingly. The price for hiring a 6 yard skip starts from around \u00a390, while 8 yard skips starts from about \u00a3200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Why so much difference?\u2019 you may be asking. Well, the price of skip hire can vary dramatically depending on a number of factors. You can find full details on this on our skip hire prices page, but a few of the biggest influencers are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Where you live in the UK (some locations are more expensive than others)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How long you\u2019re hiring the skip for<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Who you\u2019re hiring the skip from<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether or not you need a skip hire permit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to find out whether the price they\u2019re quoting you includes the VAT on a skip. Not every company makes that immediately obvious, which can sometimes mean a nasty surprise later on! If you come across an exceptionally low quote, it\u2019s worth asking if it\u2019s including the VAT, as not every company accounts for this in their initial price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"time\">How long can I hire a builder\u2019s skip for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our typical hire period is around 14 days here at Skip Hire Network. However, not all skip hire companies offer the same, so don\u2019t take it for granted and hire your skip without checking first! In some cases, we can also extend this period if you need us to. Just make sure to let us know plenty of time in advance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How big is a builder\u2019s skip?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find out the measurements of a builder\u2019s skip below. We\u2019ve accounted for both 6 yard and 8 yard skip sizes, and just for good measure (pun mercilessly intended) we\u2019ve included the metric and imperial dimensions too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"size\">Measurements for a 6 yard builder\u2019s skip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td>Width<\/td><td>Height<\/td><td>Length<\/td><td>Capacity<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Imperial<\/td><td>5\u2019<\/td><td>4\u2019<\/td><td>8\u20196\u201d<\/td><td>6 yrds<sup>3<\/sup><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Metric<\/td><td>1.52m<\/td><td>1.22m<\/td><td>2.6m<\/td><td>4.6m<sup>3<\/sup><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Measurements for an 8 yard builder\u2019s skip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td>Width<\/td><td>Height<\/td><td>Length<\/td><td>Capacity<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Imperial<\/td><td>5\u20196\u201d<\/td><td>4\u2019<\/td><td>12\u2019<\/td><td>8 yrds<sup>3<\/sup><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Metric<\/td><td>1.68m<\/td><td>1.22m<\/td><td>3.66m<\/td><td>6.1m<sup>3<\/sup><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"contain\">How much will a builder\u2019s skip hold?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even the slightly smaller builder\u2019s skips are well known for their excellent capacity, which is a big part of the reason why they\u2019re so popular with domestic, commercial and industrial clients alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a general guideline:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>6 yard skips<\/strong>&nbsp;can hold between 55 to 60 large black bins bags of waste, or roughly 19 wheelie bins\u2019 worth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>8 yard skips<\/strong>&nbsp;can hold between 70 to 80 large black bin bags of waste, or roughly 25 wheelie bins\u2019 worth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously it\u2019s difficult to give a more exact answer, as it really depends on what sort of waste you plan to fill your skip with. Large bulky waste like bricks, hard core or masonry is going to fill it faster than smaller items like domestic or garden waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"uses\">What jobs should a builder\u2019s skip be used for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we\u2019ve touched on above, builders skips are amongst the most popular sizes of skip in the whole of the UK. They strike that perfect \u2018Goldilocks\u2019 balance between being small enough to be placed on most private land without issue, but also spacious enough to accommodate all sorts of waste, from lightweight and domestic waste to heavy and commercial waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a brief summary of the sorts of jobs that our customers find them most useful for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Domestic<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Small home renovation jobs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bulky waste and small gardening jobs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Large domestic refurbishments or complete home clearouts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Common maintenance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Garden clearance or refurbishments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Home or garage clearouts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shed or storage clearance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Industrial or Commercial<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Digging foundations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>General landscaping<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Removing an old driveway<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wall replacement or removal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kitchen or bathroom refits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bathroom upgrades<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bedroom redesigns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conservatory removal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Office and retail clearouts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skiphirenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/office-closure-resized.png\" alt=\"office closure\" class=\"wp-image-999\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"contents\">What can I put into a builder\u2019s skip?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Builder\u2019s skips can be used for almost any type of waste, as long as it\u2019s legal to dispose of in a skip.

Whether or not you\u2019ll need a skip hire permit will depend on where you\u2019re planning to put your skip. In short, if you\u2019ve got room for it on your own private land \u2013 such as your front garden or driveway \u2013 then you won\u2019t need a skip hire permit. On the other hand, if you need to put it on council land such as a public road or a parking suspension zone, you\u2019ll need to contact your local council for a permit.
