If you have an upcoming construction project and you’re on the hunt for affordable skip hire, it can be difficult to know what’s considered a ‘good price’ in this day and age. The same is true for both domestic and commercial customers.
With prices across all services shifting constantly due to inflation and the cost of living, what was once a great skip hire deal may not be as lucrative anymore.
That’s why it’s good to know the current average skip hire cost, so you can not only focus on finding the best skip and waste disposal services for your needs but also one that won’t break the bank.
At A&R Skips, we’re experts in all things skip hire and have been delivering skips in and around Wigan for many years. So if you need quick and reliable skip hire nearby, reach out to the team today.
So, how much can you expect to pay for skip hire right now?
Average skip prices UK
According to data featured on Checkatrade, here are the average prices for skip hire per week in the UK at the moment (not incl. extended hire periods):
- 2-3 yard skip – £125
- 4-5 yard skip – £225
- 6-8 yard skip – £320
Of course, this will differ from borough to borough, and will certainly be on the upper end of the scale if you live close to a city centre, in the North or South.
But if you’re unfamiliar with skip hire prices, these figures offer a good indication of how much you could be paying, depending on where you live and the skip hire company you choose.
Thankfully, at A&R Skips, we provide skip hire at prices far more affordable than those listed above and represent excellent value for money, whatever project you’re working on.
For instance, with our skip hire company, you could hire an 8-yard builder’s skip – ideal for collecting excess bricks, mortar and debris – for as little as £270 for the week. Far below the national average!
In other words, if you live in Wigan or any of the surrounding towns, you could make a massive saving by partnering with us.

Is a cheap skip for hire always a good option?
Cheap skip hire always sounds like a welcome surprise, helping us save cash and keep a handle on excess materials. But if a price sounds too good to be true, it could be worth digging a little deeper.
At A&R Skips, we’re proud to offer competitive rates on our skip hire in Wigan, and can back up our offerings with years of positive customer interactions and reviews.
But the same can’t be said for every company in the waste and recycling industries; many of them attract attention from new customers by offering rock-bottom prices that are used to disguise the fact that the service is less than satisfactory.
When researching new skip hire, be sure to investigate the skip hire providers you find before diving straight in – check reviews for attributes like customer service, delivery timings, skip quality and more. All of these markers are good indicators of the service you can expect.
