Your Renovation Project Determines The Size Of Skip You Need
Hiring a skip is expensive; you want to do it right the first time without wasting money or unnecessary frustration. Some are veteran skip hirers and know the ropes, but often you don’t have an idea about cubic sizing, weight distribution, what can and cannot go into a skip and just how to go about making an informed decision.
Skips are measured in cubic yardage and it’s no use to know that 6 cubic yards is roughly the size of a small motor vehicle and on top of that the larger skips cannot be filled to capacity as it would be impossible to lift it then. Too big is wasting money, but too small and you end up paying double.
The Perfect Skip
The following is a quick guide to help when you place that important call to order a skip. For those small household or garden clean-up jobs a 2 cubic yard mini skip will be ideal, but if you are going to do a refit of the kitchen, bathroom or bedroom, you will need the slightly larger 4 cubic yard midi skip.
When you know your project will result in bulky waste such as generated by general renovations, the 8 cubic yards builders skip will be perfect for heavy cement, clay or soil disposal. When you plan a large job such as a general house clearing or adding a room, you will have to look into hiring a 10 cubic yard maxi skip for the larger quantity of waste.
There is the 12 cubic yard maxi skip that is the largest domestic size available. This is the one you go for when you are doing business premises renovations or clearing out a very large house or two small houses simultaneously.
