Kitchen renovations can be one of the most stressful and time-consuming home improvements. Not just because of the material and labour costs involved, but also finding somewhere to keep all of the excess tiles, concrete and more.
For most people, skip hire is their best bet, offering a convenient and affordable way to keep everything out from underfoot as the work is completed. But if you’ve never hired a skip for a kitchen rip-out before, you’ll be curious how much it will cost.
At A&R Skips, we’ve been providing reliable skip hire in Wigan and the surrounding areas for years – so we like to think we know a thing or two about the price of skip hire. Keep reading to learn more.
Estimating the Waste
It may be one of the most common renovations to make on your house, but it’s deceptively easy to misjudge the size of skip you’ll need for your kitchen rip-out. What looks, at first, like a simple swap-out job soon turns into a nightmare, with endless bags of waste being moved out constantly.
Then, there’s the financial risk of “undersizing” your skip – if you choose one that’s too small, you may end up forking out for a second to fill the gap. Not ideal when you’re already spending a fortune on a new kitchen and then have even more skip hire costs to cover.
Choosing the Right Size Skip
Wondering which skip size is best for kitchen jobs? Here are the choices currently available through A&R Skips – and the best option for your needs:
2-Yard Mini Skip (Cost to Hire – £130 for 4 Days): This will be far too small for a full kitchen rip-out. Though it can be ideal for smaller refresh projects, like replacing a couple of small kitchen cupboards.
4-Yard Midi Skip (Cost to Hire – £190 for 4 Days): This is the standard choice for small-to-medium size kitchens. It will fit around 40 black bin bags, giving you a lot to work with. You’ll soon run out of space once you get around to stripping the walls and floors, though.
8-Yard Builder’s Skip (Cost to Hire – £290 for 1 Week): This is the BEST VALUE in the range, offering plenty of space for all the bulky and awkwardly-shaped bits that are bound to come out of your old kitchen, without the risk of overfilling the skip.
What Factors Affect Average Skip Hire Prices?
We’re one of the most competitively priced skip hire providers in the region. But just in case you were wondering why you pay the prices you do with other local skip hire companies, here’s an easy way to look at it: the bigger the skip, the more you’ll be expected to pay. The same is true for however long you plan on holding onto the skip; the longer you’ll need it, the heftier the price tag.
At A&R Skips, we offer skip hire periods that we feel give you plenty of time to finish your project, letting us collect the skip at a time that suits you. But if you’re looking to keep hold of a skip for a little longer, get in touch with a member of the team – we’ll still be able to help!
