Skip hire in Surrey and south London
A skip suits a DIY job where you'll load it yourself. For a full property it is often dearer and far more work than a cleared-for-you clearance — here's how to tell.
When a skip makes sense
A skip is right when you are doing the work yourself — a renovation, a garden overhaul, or a garage you're steadily emptying — and you just need somewhere to put the waste. You hire it, you fill it, it's taken away. Sizes run from a 2-yard mini to an 8-yard builder's skip; a permit is needed if it sits on a public road rather than your drive.
When a clearance is the better call
The moment the job means carrying everything out of the house, up and down stairs, and sorting what's charity, recycling or waste, a skip stops being the cheap option — you're paying for the skip AND doing all the labour. A full clearance is priced with the team included, and the usable items are donated rather than crushed. For a whole property, that's usually less money and none of the graft.

Skip hire — questions
Do I need a permit for a skip?
Only if it sits on a public road; on your own drive, no. Permit rules and cost vary by council across Surrey and south London.
