Skip hire for a kitchen renovation

Units, worktops and flooring add up quickly — here's the size that actually fits.

What to expect

Recommended starting size

Builder's skip (6 yd³)

What a typical refit produces

Kitchen units, worktops, old flooring and sometimes a stripped-out appliance make kitchens one of the bulkier single-room jobs — a builder's skip is the standard recommendation.

Appliances need checking first

Fridges, freezers, and other electrical appliances fall under WEEE regulations and usually can't go in a general skip — arrange separate collection or check if your supplier offers it as an add-on.

Bigger kitchens or open-plan spaces

A large or open-plan kitchen renovation often benefits from an 8 yd³ skip instead, especially if flooring is being replaced throughout.
