Do You Need a Permit?
Whether or not you have to obtain a skip hire permit in London is determined by where the skip will be placed. If your skip will be placed on your own land like a driveway, a permit is not necessary. However, if it needs to be located on public land, such as a street, or parking bay, you will have to obtain a permit from your city authority.
Permits usually need up to a week to process, so it’s important to plan ahead. The fee and validity of the permit can differ depending on the council’s requirements. If you’re uncertain about the process, don’t worry—we can help with the application to ensure everything is in place for a smooth skip hire experience.
