Skip hire in Chester, from a yard ten minutes away
Our skips leave Bankfield Farm at Mickle Trafford and are on Chester drives before the kettle's boiled. All-in prices, pay on delivery.
Search for skip hire in Chester and you will find plenty of firms claiming to be local, with yards in Bretton, Nantwich, Sandbach, or a hundred miles further. Ours is at Mickle Trafford, just off the A56 on the city's doorstep, which is exactly why we can quote one honest all-in price and hit delivery slots across every CH postcode.
We cover the lot: the city centre and Handbridge, Hoole, Upton, Blacon, Boughton, Vicars Cross, Saltney over the border, and the villages out towards Tarvin and Tattenhall. Tight terrace streets around Hoole and Garden Quarter are bread and butter, and if access looks awkward, say so in the booking notes and the driver will ring you before setting off.
Most Chester jobs we see are kitchen and bathroom refits, garden clear-outs and house clearances, which is why the 4-yard midi is our most booked skip in the city. If you are between sizes, the size guide compares them in bin bags, or just ring and describe the job.
For Chester trades running back-to-back jobs, being ten minutes out changes the maths. We can collect a full skip and drop a fresh one in the same trip, so a refit in Hoole does not stall waiting for a lorry coming from three towns away. Ring us with the job list for the week and we will plan the swaps around it.
Skip permits in Chester
Skips on a public road in Chester need a permit from Cheshire West and Chester Council, and the council only accepts the application from the skip company, so we handle it and add the council's fee at cost. On your own driveway or land, no permit is needed. Terraced streets without driveways, common in Hoole and Garden Quarter, usually mean a permit, so build about a week into your plan.
Full permits guide by council →Chester questions, answered
How quickly can you deliver a skip in Chester?
Usually next working day, and same-day is sometimes possible if you ring before mid-morning. Being ten minutes from the city means Chester slots are the easiest on our run sheet.
Do I need a permit for a skip in Chester?
Only if the skip sits on a public road. That permit comes from Cheshire West and Chester Council, and because the council only deals with the skip company, we apply for it and add the council's fee to your booking at cost. On a driveway, no permit is needed and you can book straight away.
What does skip hire cost in Chester?
The same as everywhere we deliver: 1t bag £120, 2-yard £180, 4-yard £250, 6-yard £290, all-in with no VAT added. Delivery, five-day hire and collection are included.
Can you get a skip into a tight Chester street?
Usually, yes. Our drivers handle Hoole and Garden Quarter terraces every week. Tell us about access in the booking notes and the driver will call before delivery if anything needs checking.
Can I keep the skip longer than five days?
Yes, just ring before the collection date and we will extend it. Being local means the round is flexible, and we would rather move a collection than have you rush a job or overfill the skip.
