What factors affect skip hire cost?
Several factors influence skip hire cost, including the size of the skip you choose, the length of hire, your location and distance from our depot, and whether you require a permit for placement on public land. The type and weight of waste can also play a role, as overweight skips may incur additional charges. We're always transparent about pricing and happy to discuss the most cost-effective options for your project.
Is VAT included in your skip hire costs?
Yes, all the skip hire costs we quote include VAT. The prices listed on our website—such as £160-180 for mini skips and £275 for builder's skips—are inclusive of VAT, so you won't face any unexpected additions when you book.
Does skip hire cost more in certain areas?
Skip hire cost can vary slightly depending on your location. Urban areas sometimes have higher prices due to increased demand and disposal costs, whilst delivery to more rural or outlying areas may also affect pricing due to transport distance. In general, customers within Coventry and the surrounding Warwickshire area benefit from competitive local rates.
How long is the standard skip hire period?
Our standard skip hire period is typically 1-2 weeks (up to 14 days). This gives you plenty of time to fill your skip at your own pace. If you need the skip for longer, just let us know in advance and we can arrange an extended hire period, though this may affect the overall skip hire cost.
Are there additional charges I should be aware of?
Potential additional charges include permit fees if the skip is placed on public land (£30-£80 depending on your council), overweight charges if your skip exceeds safe loading limits, and charges for any prohibited items found in the skip upon collection. Extended hire periods beyond the standard timeframe may also incur extra costs. We always aim to be upfront about charges so you can budget accurately.
Do you offer discounts for account customers?
Yes, our skip hire costs may vary for account customers. Businesses with ongoing waste management needs benefit from working with a dedicated account manager who can help organise contracts and identify the most cost-effective solutions for regular skip hire requirements. Contact our commercial team to discuss setting up an account.
What skip size offers the best value for money?
The best value comes from choosing the right size for your specific project. Our 4-yard midi skip offers a good balance between capacity and price for medium-sized projects like bathroom renovations or garden clearances, holding approximately 45-55 bin bags of waste. For larger projects, the 8-yard builder's skip provides excellent capacity for kitchen renovations and construction work. Choosing a skip that's slightly larger than you think you'll need often works out more economical than having to hire a second smaller skip.
Can I get a quote for larger skip sizes?
Absolutely. For larger skip sizes—including our 10-yard and 14-yard commercial skips and RoRo containers—please contact our team directly for a quote. Larger containers are priced individually based on your specific requirements, location, and the nature of the waste being disposed of.
How do I book a skip and confirm the price?
Booking is easy through our online booking system at booking.tomwhitewaste.co.uk, where you can select your skip size, choose your delivery date, and see the price before confirming. Alternatively, call our friendly team on 024 7666 2525 to discuss your needs and receive a quote. We offer next-day delivery if you book before 12pm.
