Skip Hire in Reading
Skip hire across Reading and South East, 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.
Reading site conditions we plan around
Thames Valley sites are usually access-limited, so grab lorries and bulk bags do most of the work, with timed drops around town-centre restrictions.
Lead times & access
Grab, tipper and HIAB loads across Reading, Bracknell, Slough and Newbury. Timed windows for town-centre and live commercial sites; skips for fit-out and refurbishment work.

Skip hire in Reading — FAQs
Do I need a permit for a skip in Reading?
If the skip stands on a public road or verge in Reading 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 Reading?
Usually within 24–48 hours across Reading on private-ground drops. Add a few days where a highway permit has to be issued first.
