Choosing the right skip size in West Horsley
Choosing the right skip size helps keep your project organised from the outset. A smaller skip may suit a modest household clearance while a larger option may be more appropriate for building work, landscaping or ongoing waste from a renovation.
J&J Franks provides a choice of skip sizes for different requirements, including:
2-yard mini skips for smaller clearances and limited amounts of waste
6-yard builder’s skips for many household renovation and trade projects
8-yard builder’s skips for larger property improvements, landscaping and building waste
20-yard and 35-yard RoRo skips for higher-volume commercial and construction work where suitable
There is no single skip size that suits every project. The right choice will depend on the material, volume, access and the space available at the property or site. Use our skip size calculator to determine the right size skip.
If you are unsure which option is most appropriate, speak to J&J Franks before booking. The team can help you consider the practical requirements.

Where can a skip be placed in West Horsley?
Many customers place a skip on a private driveway, forecourt or other suitable land within the property boundary. This can be a practical option where there is enough room for safe delivery, collection and use during the project.
Before arranging delivery, it is useful to consider:
• Whether there is enough space for the skip
• Whether delivery vehicles can access the location
• Whether the skip may affect vehicle movements
• Whether gates, overhead obstructions or narrow access could affect delivery
• How long the skip is likely to be needed
If a skip is placed on public land, a permit may be required. J&J Franks can advise on the process, subject to local authority requirements. Permit requirements depend on the proposed placement and local rules, so it is important to discuss this before booking.
What can I put in a skip?
Skips are commonly used for suitable household, renovation, construction and clearance waste. However, waste acceptance is subject to assessment. It is important to identify the waste correctly before collection or disposal so the right service is arranged.
Suitable materials include general household clearance waste, timber, packaging, bricks, rubble and certain non-hazardous building materials. The correct option depends on the materials involved and whether they are mixed with other waste.
Some materials require separate handling, including:
•Asbestos
• Chemicals, paints and solvents
• Batteries
• Electrical and electronic equipment
• Gas bottles
• Contaminated soils
• Other potentially hazardous materials
Do not assume these materials can be placed in a skip. Specialist assessment and compliant handling may be required. Speak with J&J Franks to confirm the most suitable option before booking.
