Whether you’re renovating a home in Bath, clearing a garden in Swindon, or managing construction waste in Cardiff, reliable skip hire is essential for keeping your project clean and compliant. At Earthworks UK, we provide flexible skip hire services to domestic and commercial clients across Bristol, Newport, Gloucester, Weston-super-Mare, and beyond.
With a full range of skip sizes, same-day delivery, and responsible waste handling, we make skip hire simple, affordable, and efficient, no matter the size of your job.
Why Hire a Skip?
A skip is the most efficient way to deal with large volumes of waste. Instead of multiple trips to the local tip, you can dispose of everything in one place and let us handle the rest.
Common uses include:
- House renovations and extensions
- Garden and landscaping projects
- Office and commercial clear-outs
- Construction and building site waste
- Garage and loft decluttering
We provide skip hire to homes and businesses in Bristol, Bath, Cardiff, Swindon, Gloucester, Newport, and Weston-super-Mare.
Skip Sizes Available for Delivery
At Earthworks UK, we offer a variety of skip sizes to suit all types of waste and space constraints:
4-Yard Skip
Ideal for domestic use, small renovations, or garden waste in Bath or Weston-super-Mare.
6-Yard Skip (Builder’s Skip)
Perfect for heavier waste such as rubble, soil, or hardcore on building sites in Cardiff, Swindon, and Gloucester.
8-Yard Skip
Suitable for general construction or larger clearance projects across Newport or Bristol.
12–14 Yard Skips
High-capacity skips for bulky, light waste such as furniture, packaging, or timber. Great for commercial projects in South Wales.
If you’re unsure what size you need, our team is happy to advise based on your project and site location.
Do I Need a Skip Permit?
If your skip will be placed on a public road or pavement in areas such as Bristol, Cardiff, or Newport, you may require a skip permit from the local council. Earthworks UK can organise this for you.
- Private property or driveway: No permit needed
- Public highway: Permit required (we’ll apply on your behalf)
- Permit times and fees: Vary by local authority across South West England and South Wales
We’ll take care of the paperwork and ensure your skip hire complies with local regulations.
What Can You Put in a Skip?
Our skips can be used for most non-hazardous waste, including:
- Soil, hardcore, and rubble
- Wood, plasterboard, and bricks
- Furniture and fittings
- Green waste and hedge trimmings
- General household and building waste
However, the following are not permitted in skips without prior arrangement:
- Asbestos
- Fridges and freezers
- Paints, solvents, or liquids
- Electrical appliances
- Tyres or medical waste
Disposing of these materials improperly can result in additional fees. Contact us for advice if you’re unsure.
