Why we quote by phone in Taunton
We are based in Dorset. In Taunton we work with local skip hire partners rather than sending a lorry from the coast, which is why the right partner and price depend on your postcode and the type of waste. We are not a third-party comparison site: we take the booking, agree the price with you before anything is delivered, and stay your single point of contact.
Rather than show a table that could be wrong for your street, we give you the price that applies to you. It takes a couple of minutes.
Choosing a skip size
- 4 yard: a garden clear-out, a bathroom refit or a patio.
- 6 yard: a kitchen refit, a loft clearance or a small extension.
- 8 yard: a whole-house clearance or a larger build. Our usual recommendation for a house clearance.
- 12 yard: larger renovations and big clear-outs. It cannot take soil or rubble, which is too heavy.
If you are between sizes, go up one. A part-empty skip is cheaper than a second one. There are no 2 yard mini skips available in Taunton.
Soil, rubble and plasterboard
Heavy inert waste such as soil, bricks, concrete and tiles is best kept in its own skip, which can be priced lower than general waste, and goes in 4, 6 and 8 yard skips. Plasterboard must be kept separate by law. Tell us what you are clearing when you book. Our guide to what can and cannot go in a skip explains the rules.
Asbestos is separate
Cement sheet roofs and garages are common in Taunton and across Somerset, and asbestos can never go in a standard skip. We arrange safe, licensed disposal, from a van collection for a few sheets to an asbestos skip for a larger job. See asbestos disposal in Taunton.
Where we cover
TA1, TA2, TA3 and TA4, including Taunton town centre, Norton Fitzwarren, Bishops Lydeard, Monkton Heathfield, Staplegrove, Creech St Michael, Trull and Milverton. For other areas, call and we will confirm. More on our Taunton area page.
Do I need a permit?
Only if the skip goes on a public road or pavement. On a drive or private land you do not need one. On the highway, the permit comes from Somerset Council. We can arrange it, but allow 3 to 5 working days.
Bigger jobs
For a big clear-out or a building site, a roll-on roll-off container can be better value than several skips. See roll-on roll-off hire, or ask us to price both.
Frequently asked questions
How much does skip hire cost in Taunton?
It depends on your postcode, skip size and the type of waste. Call 0800 652 0160 and we will give you one price before you commit.
What size skip do I need for a house clearance?
Usually an 8 yard. For a larger property, a 12 yard.
How long can I keep the skip?
The standard hire is 14 days. Extra weeks are charged at £30 a week.
Do I need a permit for a skip on a Taunton road?
Yes, if it is on the public road or pavement. Somerset Council issues it, we can arrange it, and it takes 3 to 5 working days.
Can I put soil and rubble in the skip?
Yes, in 4, 6 and 8 yard skips, and ideally in a dedicated inert skip, which is priced lower. Not in a 12 yard.
When will the skip be delivered?
We confirm your delivery date when you book, and we will tell you straight away if your preferred date is not available.
