Number 1 for Skip Hire on the Fylde Coast
Road Permit Information
Skip Hire Permits
If your skip cannot be placed on private land (such as a driveway or garden), it will need to be positioned on the public highway. In this case, a skip permit is required.
How do I obtain a skip permit?
We arrange the permit on your behalf. When booking your skip (online or by phone), simply let us know it will be going on the road and we will take care of the application with your local council.
How much does a skip permit cost?
Skip permits are charged at £60 and typically cover up to 7 days from the delivery date. This cost includes the council permit fee, administration, VAT, and safety equipment such as lights and cones.
Additional weeks may be chargeable if the skip remains on the public highway.
How does the process work?
Once your order is placed, we will apply for the permit with your local council. You do not need to do anything.
If the council requires any additional information or has specific conditions, we will contact you.
What if a permit cannot be issued?
In some cases, the council may refuse a permit due to location or access restrictions.
If this happens, we offer a wait and load service, where the driver will stay on site while you load the skip (typically up to 30 minutes), before removing it straight away.
If you have any further questions on permits, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Road Permit Information
If your skip isn’t able to go on private land (driveway, garden etc), then it will likely need to go on a public highway. Please see the below information about road permits:
The charge for a skip permit is £60, and these permits last for the 7 days after your skip has been delivered. This covers the administration costs of obtaining the permit, as well as the equipment provided to make the skip safe, such as cones and lights.
Once you have placed your skip order, we will apply to your local council for a permit on your behalf – you do not need to do anything. Should the council have any concerns or questions, we may ask you for more information about where the skip is being sited.
On rare occasions, it’s possible that your local council will refuse to issue a skip hire permit. Perhaps your premises have limited access and a skip may cause problems for other street users.
All is not lost, as we provide a Wait and Load Skips service for these situations. Our driver will arrive with the skip and allow you up to 30 minutes to fill the skip, before taking it straight away for you.
If you have any further questions on permits, please do not hesitate to contact us.
