Understanding Skip Permits

The Skip Permit is required if you are placing a skip on a road, pavement or public thoroughfare. These skip permits are essential in regulating how many skips can be placed on the road at any given time, helping to ensure parking, access and traffic management.

Private Property: Exemption

A permit isn’t required if the skip will be placed within the boundaries of private property, this includes your driveway, or any other privately-owned land.

Permit Application & Issuance

Local councils are responsible for issuing Skip Permits and Licenses. Skip hire companies in many cases can apply for the Skip Permit on behalf of their clients. However, there are some instances when the person or entity renting out the skip must directly apply themselves. Please visit your local council website to find out more about their requirements and procedures.

Validity Period Of Skip Permits

Local councils vary when it comes to the duration for which Skip Permits remain valid as they set their own specific durations. Skip permits usually last between one and two weeks, with extensions possible upon request for additional fees. In order to avoid any penalties, you must initiate the extension within the allotted timeframe.

Skip Permit Costs

Costs associated with skip permits can vary from one region to another throughout the UK. Prices are also affected by which council or borough issues the permit. Costs can start at around £30 plus VAT. Variations may reach up to £165+ VAT. These fees are set by the local councils, and the skip hire companies have no influence on them.

How Long Does It Take To Get A Permit?

The duration of the application process for your Skip Permit varies depending on your local council, it can take anywhere from 1 to 10 days. We encourage prospective skip hirers to give themselves enough time for the acquisition of a permit.

Parking Suspensions: Additional Charges

The hirer of a skip who places it on a public road within a Controlled Parking Zone is responsible for the parking bay suspension fee. The permit cost varies across different councils. These fees are generally charged every day.

Skip Permits Can Be Subject To Certain Conditions

The council may set specific conditions for the safe use and placement the skip. To avoid fines, it is mandatory to comply with these conditions. For example, the placement of traffic cones and reflective markings at night, as well as the provision of safety lighting during the day, are all examples.

There are also other conditions which may apply, including:

• The skip’s location on the highway or public road
• The permitted skip dimensions

Skip Hire FAQs

Why put gravel on a flat roof?

Gravel and pea shingle have two primary purposes on a flat roof; they provide a 'loading coat' and they afford UV protection. As ballast, the gravel will help anchor the material underneath and lower the risk of it being blown off in high winds.

Does walking on a flat roof damage it?

Flat Roofs A flat roof is less precarious than a pitched one, but you still run the risk of damaging the felt and potentially going through the membrane. You're less likely to cause damage on a warm day, and it's generally advisable to lay boards across it to walk on.

What do roofers use on flat roofs?

The most common ones include EPDM rubber, single-ply (TPO, PVC), modified bitumen, built-up roofs (BUR), and spray polyurethane foam. Many homeowners choose either EPDM or TPO. EPDM roofs are affordable and can reach a lifespan of 30+ years.

What is the most common defect in flat roof?

Leaks. Leaks are an all-too-common occurrence in buildings with flat roofs. This is mostly because flat roofs tend to lose their ability to effectively shed water if not properly maintained. Once moisture is unable to drain from the roof, it's just a matter of time before it finds its way into the building.

Should a flat roof hold any water?

Whilst brief and occasional ponding is acceptable on a flat roof, regular or long-lasting ponding could be an indication that there is an issue with the roof that needs to be addressed.
