Skip Hire London: Wait and Loads
Councils: you either love ‘em or hate ‘em. Skip hire London is getting trickier, now borough councils have decided to put another spanner in the works by now needing permission before a wait and load service is carried out.
A wait and load service is when there is no where to place the skip, and not enough time to apply for a permit. We pull up with the skip and help the customer fill the skip with the waste that they have acquired. The service is normally half and hour and we drive off. However, now skip hire London councils are now saying that they demand that permission should be sought before any such service takes place.
Why?
Is there ever a good reason why with councils?
However, this doesn’t stop us from doing them, so if you do need a wait and load service, or need us to obtain a skip permit for you, make sure you ring the TopSkips team on 0845 201 3040.

Skip Hire Hammersmith
Just had a call for skip hire Hammersmith for tomorrow morning. There would be no problem with this, but the customer didn’t have a driveway to plonk the skip on, and therefore would need a skip permit.
To make matters worse, the customer’s council is Hammersmith and Fulham, a council that seems to take pleasure in making the permit application process as drawn out and costly as possible.
So, in the end, we couldn’t actually do it. The customer is organising the paperwork with the council first, and then will ring us when (if?!) the permit arrives.

Celebrity Skip Hire Customer 4
Introducing our celeb skip hire customer number 4 and enfant terrible of the modern art world, Mr Damien Hirst.
He was after skip hire London and we delivered a skip to his offices in central London. I told the driver who picked the skip up to look out for any discarded masterpieces that we could flog on ebay, but the skip was just full of brickwork and plaster. Not particularly glamorous, but we’re grateful that Hirst chose Topskips for his waste disposal needs!

London Skip Hire Driver Gets a Thumbs Up
Little vid of a London skip hire driver showing good manners to a cyclist on one of Britain’s busy roads. See, skip hire drivers can be courteous (unlike the little van man that creeps up unaware).

What is a skip hire permit?
You’re asking the right people! From John O’Groats to Land’s End, we have skip hire permits just about covered.
A permit is permission off the local council to allow skips on their public highway. So if you’re a householder who needs a skip for the week but doesn’t have a piece of private land like a driveway to put the skip on, then a permit must be applied for. Most of the time, the skip company can organise the paperwork for you. However, some councils (All Scottish councils for example) demand the hirer of the skip organises the permit. And the bad news is, it costs money. If you’re lucky, your local council will just charge an administration fee around £10. However some councils, (stand up, Wandsworth council in London!) can charge over a hundred pounds.
And if you think you can get away without applying for one, think again. Council workers survey the streets on a daily basis looking for skips that haven’t been registered with a permit, and the fines that follow if they see a skip without a permit are steep, to say the least. One company in Sheffield was charged £1500 recently for this very offence!
If you need skip hire with a permit, ring Topskips on 0844 560 7710 to discuss your options.
