How Our End‑Of‑Tenancy Skip Service Works (Simple 3‑Step)

  1. Book – Tell us the address, any access notes, preferred skip size and dates. We give clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Book online via skip hire or by phone.
  2. Deliver – We arrive on time, place the skip safely, add lights if it’s kerbside, and run through safe loading. We’ll advise on permits where needed.
  3. Collect – Call when you’re finished. We often collect same‑day or next‑day across Norwich and the market towns. Waste transfer notes are available on request.

Choosing The Right Skip Size For Rentals

  • Flats and studios – 2–4 yard: ideal for bagged waste, soft furnishings and small furniture (roughly 20–40 bin bags).
  • Family homes – 6–8 yard: suits mixed clear‑out waste, doors, carpets and light DIY debris (around 50–80 bin bags).
  • Blocks and HMOs – 10–12 yard: handles volume from multiple units; step up to roll‑on/off for big moves.

Heavy waste (soil, rubble, tiles) has weight limits—use smaller sizes and never overfill. For multi‑unit or estate clearances, our roll on off skip hire keeps swaps fast and costs controlled.

Room‑By‑Room Checklist: Living Areas & Bedrooms

  • Start with smalls: bag linens, toys and loose items first.
  • Dismantle flat‑pack furniture to maximise space.
  • Keep mattresses and sofas aside; load them last and keep them dry.
  • Bag mixed waste; keep electricals separate for safe disposal.
  • Label bags by room and stage bulky items near the exit.
  • Photograph any pre‑existing damage before moving furniture.
  • Load level—no items above the skip sides.

Room‑By‑Room Checklist: Kitchens & Bathrooms

  • Empty and bag cupboard contents.
  • Stack doors, units and worktops neatly to save space.
  • Tiles and ceramics are fine, but don’t overload with heavy waste.
  • Keep plasterboard separate in bags or a tidy stack to meet site rules.
  • WEEE needs special handling—no fridges/freezers, TVs, monitors or microwaves in the skip. Tell us when booking and we’ll advise options.
  • Always cap water and isolate electrics before removing appliances.

Room‑By‑Room Checklist: Lofts, Garages & Gardens

  • Lofts/attics – Pass items down safely; avoid overreaching. Use bags for smalls; box books and decor.
  • Garages/sheds – Separate paints, oils, aerosols and chemicals—these are not allowed in skips.
  • Gardens – Green waste, fence panels and non‑contaminated soil are fine. Keep soil, hardcore and stones to smaller skips to manage weight. Stage piles before delivery for quick loading.

Mattress & Sofa Rules In Norfolk (Made Easy)

  • We accept mattresses and upholstered seating (sofas, armchairs, sofa beds). Keep them dry and separate—do not cut them up.
  • Load them on top or as directed by the driver for safe handling.
  • Due to regulations on upholstered seating, an item charge usually applies. Ask for a quote upfront. We process these at our licensed site for compliant recycling.

What Can’t Go In The Skip: Avoid Delays And Recharges

  • No fridges/freezers, TVs, laptops or other WEEE.
  • No paint, oils, solvents, aerosols or chemicals.
  • No gas bottles, asbestos or tyres.
  • Keep plasterboard separate.
  • Respect weight limits for soil, hardcore and tiles, and never load above the sides.

If you’re unsure, call us first. We’ll advise quickly so you avoid reloading, rejections or extra charges.

Access, Permits And Tight Norwich Streets

  • Allow room for the lorry to manoeuvre; check for low wires, branches and soft ground.
  • Make sure driveway space suits both the skip footprint and the vehicle’s swing.
  • If the skip sits on the road, you may need a council permit or parking suspension—book a few days ahead. Read our guide: Norfolk skip permits & parking suspensions guide.
  • Terraced access is our daily bread—tell us your street layout and we’ll suggest the best size and placement.
