Skip Hire in Newcastle
Skip hire across Newcastle and North East England, from 4-yard midi skips for small strip-outs to 40-yard roll-on/roll-off containers for volume construction waste. We arrange highway permits where the skip has to sit on the road, and everything goes to a licensed transfer station with a waste transfer note.
Newcastle site conditions we plan around
Civils and housing groundworks drive most of our North East volumes — Type 1 and 6F5 capping for platforms and haul roads, bedding stone for drainage runs, and grab muckaway for quayside and infill sites with limited storage space.
Lead times & access
Tipper and grab loads available across Tyne and Wear within 24–72 hours. Northumberland and County Durham covered on standard lead times, with timed drops for quayside and restricted-access sites.

Skip hire in Newcastle — FAQs
Do I need a permit for a skip in Newcastle?
If the skip stands on a public road or verge in Newcastle you need a highway permit from the local authority. We apply for it on your behalf — allow a few working days. On private ground or a driveway no permit is needed.
What can't go in a skip?
No asbestos, gas cylinders, tyres, batteries, liquids, paint, fridges or other hazardous items. Tell us if any are present and we'll arrange a compliant separate route.
Should I use a skip or a grab for soil and hardcore?
For soil, muck and hardcore in any quantity a grab or tipper usually moves more material per movement than skips. Skips suit mixed construction and strip-out waste.
How quickly can a skip be delivered in Newcastle?
Usually within 24–48 hours across Newcastle on private-ground drops. Add a few days where a highway permit has to be issued first.
