Choosing the right skip size in Horsham
Choosing a suitable skip before work starts can make waste management simpler and help avoid having too little capacity for the project. A skip that is too small may need to be exchanged before the work is complete while a much larger container may take up more space than required.
J&J Franks offers a range of skip sizes for different types of project, including:
2-yard mini skips for smaller clearances and limited volumes of waste
6-yard builder’s skips for many domestic renovation and building projects
8-yard builder’s skips for larger renovation, landscaping and construction waste requirements
20-yard and 35-yard RoRo skips for larger commercial or construction projects where suitable
The right size depends on the waste type, the amount of material, site access and your project plans. Use our skip size calculator or speak to the team before booking if you are unsure which skip is most appropriate.
For bulky, loose or heavy materials that need loading directly from the ground, grab hire in Horsham may be a more suitable alternative. Grab hire can be considered based on site access, loading arrangements and the type of material being removed.

Do I need a skip permit in Horsham?
If a skip is placed on public land, a permit may be required. Horsham is in West Sussex, so skip licences for placement on the public highway are arranged through West Sussex County Council. J&J Franks can advise on the process, subject to local authority requirements.
Permit requirements depend on the proposed location and local authority rules. A skip placed on a private driveway or other private land will not normally require a highway permit, although access and placement should still be considered carefully.
For further general guidance, read do you need a skip permit. You can also find more local information in our guide do you need a skip permit for one day in Horsham.
What can go in a skip?
Skips are commonly used for general construction, renovation and household clearance waste. However, waste acceptance is subject to assessment and some materials may require separate handling.
Before booking, it is important to accurately identify the waste you need removed. Materials such as asbestos, chemicals, paints, solvents, batteries, electrical items, contaminated soils and other potentially hazardous waste may require specialist assessment and compliant handling.
Let the J&J Franks team know what you expect to put in the skip before arranging collection. They can explain the most suitable option based on the waste stream and project requirements.
