What moves the price of a skip
Size is the biggest factor. A bigger skip costs more, so it pays to judge the job honestly before you book.
The road permit is the next one. A skip on the road needs a £134 permit from West Berkshire Council. A skip on your own drive does not.
Items firms charge extra for can catch people out. Some firms add a fee for, or won’t take, mattresses, fridges, tyres, plasterboard, sofas and TVs. Ask which items are extra before you pay.

Skip costs in Newbury, answered
How much is a skip in Newbury?
It depends on the size and the firm. The comparison above shows what each firm publishes. Those prices are shown excluding VAT, so check the total before you book, and remember the permit if the skip is going on the road.
Do I need a permit for a skip?
If the skip goes on the road, yes. West Berkshire Council charges £134 for a skip permit. If it sits on your own property, you would not need one for the road.
How long does the permit last?
The permit lasts 7 days. Each extra week costs £72, so a job that drags on can cost more than you planned.
Can I put anything in a skip?
No. Firms restrict things like batteries, gas bottles, paint, asbestos and tyres, and some charge extra for mattresses and fridges. Ask the firm for its list before you start loading.
Is there a way to clear things without loading a skip?
Yes. We carry everything out from inside, so you don't lift a thing. You send photos and get a price up front before we start.
