Whatever your reason for hiring a skip, selecting the correct size is important. Our team can help you determine which option is appropriate based on the scale of your project and the waste you expect to generate.

What Skip Size Do I Need?
If you are comparing skip hire sizes, it can be difficult to know how much capacity you actually need.
The right skip depends on the amount of waste generated and the type of project you are completing. Smaller household jobs may only require a compact skip, while larger clearances, renovations and construction work can require significantly more capacity.
Choosing too small a skip could mean arranging another one later. Choosing one that is unnecessarily large may mean paying for capacity you do not use.
J Hearnden offers a range of options for skip hire in Kent.
4 Yard Skip Hire
4 yard skip hire can be suitable for smaller projects and clearances where relatively limited amounts of waste will be generated.
This could include smaller DIY projects, garden work and household clearances.
6 Yard Skip Hire
For projects requiring more capacity, 6 yard skip hire can be a practical choice.
It may suit household renovations, larger clearances and home improvement projects where a smaller skip is unlikely to provide enough space.
8 Yard Skip Hire
8 yard skip hire provides greater capacity for larger domestic and building projects.
It can be considered for property refurbishments, substantial household clearances and suitable construction waste.
12 Yard Skip Hire
For projects generating larger quantities of suitable waste, 12 yard skip hire provides additional capacity.
This can be useful for larger clearances, commercial projects and certain building jobs.
Larger Skip Hire Options
Some projects require considerably more capacity. Depending on your requirements and the type of waste involved, larger options may include 14 yard skip hire, 15 yard skip hire, 20 yard skip hire, 30 yard skip hire and 40 yard skip hire.
For larger commercial and construction projects, speak to J Hearnden before booking so we can help identify the most appropriate option.

Mini Skip Hire and Small Skip Hire Kent
Not every project needs a large skip.
For smaller home improvements and clearances, mini skip hire or small skip hire can provide a more appropriate solution.
A smaller skip may be suitable if you are:
- Clearing a single room
- Completing smaller DIY work
- Removing garden waste
- Clearing a shed
- Completing minor renovations
- Removing a relatively small quantity of household waste
If you are uncertain whether a smaller skip will provide enough capacity, contact our team before booking.
Domestic Skip Hire Kent
Our domestic skip hire in Kent is suitable for homeowners, tenants and landlords who need to dispose of waste from household projects.
Hiring a skip can be particularly useful when renovating or clearing a property because it gives you one designated place for suitable waste throughout the job.
Common reasons for arranging domestic skip hire include:
- Moving home
- House clearances
- Loft clearances
- Garage clearances
- Garden projects
- Kitchen renovations
- Bathroom renovations
- Property refurbishments
- Larger DIY projects
Rather than making repeated trips to dispose of waste yourself, you can arrange delivery to your property and collection once your project is complete.


Commercial Skip Hire Kent
J Hearnden also provides commercial skip hire in Kent for businesses requiring an effective way to manage suitable project waste.
Commercial skip hire may be required during:
- Office clearances
- Retail refurbishments
- Commercial property renovations
- Site clearances
- Property maintenance
- Construction projects
Commercial projects can vary significantly in scale, so it is important to select a skip based on the actual waste requirements rather than simply choosing a standard size.
Contact our team to discuss the type and quantity of waste you expect your project to generate.
Builder and Trade Skip Hire Kent
Builders and tradespeople often need a dependable waste solution throughout a project.
Our builder skip hire and trade skip hire options can support suitable renovation, refurbishment and construction projects across our Kent service area.
Having a skip on site provides a designated place for waste as work progresses, helping to prevent unwanted materials from accumulating around the project.
For larger or longer-term work, it is particularly important to consider expected waste volumes before choosing a skip.
Where one skip is unlikely to be sufficient, speak to us about your collection and exchange requirements.
Roll On Roll Off Skip Hire
For projects generating significantly larger quantities of waste, standard skips may not provide enough capacity.
Roll on roll off skip hire, also known as RORO skip hire, can provide an alternative for certain larger commercial, industrial and construction requirements.
These larger containers are intended for projects where substantial volumes of suitable waste need to be managed.
If you are considering a larger skip or RORO option, contact J Hearnden to discuss your project and determine what is appropriate.
Skip Delivery and Collection in Kent
J Hearnden provides skip delivery and collection across our service area.
Once you have selected the right skip, delivery can be arranged to a suitable location at your property or project site.
Before arranging delivery, consider:
- Access for the delivery vehicle
- The space available for the skip
- Whether it will be positioned on private land
- Whether highway permission may be necessary
- How easily the skip can be accessed during your project
Once you have finished, contact us to arrange skip collection.
For projects that continue after the first skip has been filled, you can also discuss a skip exchange service with our team.

Skip Hire Permits in Kent
Whether you need a permit will generally depend on where your skip needs to be positioned.
If your skip can be placed entirely on suitable private land, such as a driveway or private project site, a highway permit may not be necessary.
If the skip needs to be positioned on a public road or highway, permission may be required.
Permit requirements can depend on the specific location, so it is important to establish what applies to your booking rather than assuming the same requirements apply throughout Kent.
If you have questions about skip hire permits in Kent, speak to our team when arranging your skip.

How Much Does Skip Hire in Kent Cost?
There is no single price for skip hire in Kent, as the cost depends on your individual requirements.
Factors affecting skip hire pricing can include:
- Skip size
- Type of waste
- Delivery location
- Collection requirements
- Skip placement
- Additional requirements associated with the hire
When comparing skip hire prices in Kent, it is also important to consider whether the skip provides enough capacity for your project.
Choosing the smallest or cheapest option is not necessarily the most economical choice if you then need another skip.
Providing us with information about your project allows us to recommend an appropriate option and give you a more relevant quote.
