About SkipNow
Skip hire that works the way it should.
We built SkipNow to end the guesswork — transparent prices, EA-verified suppliers, and a booking experience that takes less than 30 seconds.
Our Why
The skip hire market was broken. We fixed it.
Hiring a skip should be one of the simplest transactions in home improvement. In practice, it rarely is. Prices are buried behind contact forms, suppliers vary wildly in quality, and many people don't realise that hiring from an unregistered waste carrier puts them at legal risk — not the supplier.
We built SkipNow because the technology to fix this existed. Every supplier on the platform is verified against the Environment Agency waste carrier register before they can list. Prices are shown upfront. Reviews are tied to completed bookings, not manually submitted. And if a supplier doesn't confirm your reservation in time, your card is never charged.
Our mission is straightforward: connect people who need a skip with suppliers who deserve the work — and make every step of that process as honest and frictionless as possible.
Our How
From postcode to skip on your drive — in minutes
We stripped back every unnecessary step and put you in control at each stage.
Search by postcode
Enter your postcode and skip size. We instantly show you available EA-verified suppliers near you with live, upfront pricing.
Compare and reserve
Browse side-by-side prices and verified reviews, then submit your reservation in under 30 seconds. Your card is only authorised — not charged.
Supplier confirms
The supplier has 24 hours to confirm your booking. If they don't respond in time, your reservation is automatically cancelled and no charge is made.
Skip delivered
Once confirmed, the supplier delivers your skip on your chosen date. Manage everything — instructions, permits, collection — from your order page.
Our Values
What we stand for
EA-verified suppliers only
Every supplier on SkipNow is checked against the Environment Agency waste carrier register before they can list. If they're not licensed, they're not on the platform.
Transparent pricing
The price you see is the price you pay. No surprise fees at delivery, no ambiguous quotes — suppliers set their prices upfront and we display them clearly.
Real customer reviews
Reviews on SkipNow are tied to completed bookings. We only show verified reviews from real customers so you can make an informed choice.
Built for both sides
We designed SkipNow with suppliers in mind too. A simple dashboard, fair credit-based pricing, and zero lock-in means great suppliers stay on the platform.
