What Skip Size Do You Need for a House Clearance?
Estimate the volume and weight of your clearance before choosing a skip.
Make an inventory
List bulky furniture, bags and general household items; separate anything suitable for reuse.
Size and weight are different
Heavy material can reach loading limits before the container is filled. Confirm restrictions and the maximum fill line.
Delivery access
Check available space, slopes, overhead obstacles and whether a vehicle can collect safely.
When another service fits
For a few bulky objects or where you cannot load a skip, compare a suitable collection service.
Common questions
