Who we are, how this site is funded, and how to reach us.
SkipHireCalculator.com is an independent guide to skip hire in the UK — sizing, pricing, permits and rules. We're not a skip hire company ourselves; we built this to make the actual decision-making part (what size, what it costs, what the rules are) easier to work through before you contact a supplier.
The 'Search for local skip hire' buttons currently link to a general search for local suppliers — they aren't monetised yet. We earn nothing from them at present. This site is currently funded only by Google AdSense. Once a genuine affiliate partnership is in place, we'll update this page and the button wording to say so clearly.
Prices, permit costs and rules are general UK guidance based on typical figures and change over time and by council. Always confirm current details directly with your local council and chosen supplier before booking. See our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use for the full details.
Guides are written and reviewed by the Skip Hire Calculator team, not outsourced to freelance content mills. Where a claim depends on a specific regulation or fact that changes over time — permit rules, landfill tax, WEEE and plasterboard disposal rules — we cite the official government or industry source directly rather than just asserting it. Pages carry a “last reviewed” date so you can see how current the information is, and we correct errors as soon as we find them rather than leaving them to be spotted by readers.
