Getting a skip in Andover
Andover's conservation area covers the High Street, London Street, Bridge Street and Marlborough Street. Marlborough Street has a terrace of Victorian cottages, and New Street's old thatched terraces open straight onto the street. Where your front door opens onto the pavement, the skip sits on the road under Hampshire's permit, and a 4 yard midi takes less of the road. On the lower High Street, traffic is limited to deliveries and disabled parking. Roads next to the centre have controlled parking zones, and the roads around the station have a residents' zone. Mention yours at the price check.
On Whynot Lane, every plot of Victorian semi-detached and detached houses has parking off the road, so a skip on your drive needs no permit. The Avenue is lined with large plots that are nearly all detached, and an 8 yard large suits a full clear-out there. For a few bags of rubble, the Scott Close tip takes it for a charge per sack above your household's DIY allowance, once you've booked a slot. For a whole patio or wall, a 6 yard builders skip is the size for heavy waste.
Andover is still growing. East Anton, made up of Augusta Park, The Chariots and Saxon Heights, is being built out to 2,850 homes, and Picket Twenty has outline permission for 1,200. If you're settling into a new home there, a 2 yard mini or 4 yard midi takes the packaging and a first garden tidy. For a sofa and up to three other large items, Test Valley's bulky collection at £70 is the simpler choice. A full clear-out of a bigger house still suits a 12 yard maxi.

Questions
- Do I need a permit for a skip in Andover?
- Only if it goes on the road or pavement. Hampshire County Council issues the permit at £78.80 for 7 days, and the skip company applies for it. A skip on your own drive, such as on Whynot Lane, needs none.
- Can a skip be delivered to the lower High Street in Andover?
- Access there is tight. The lower High Street only allows vehicles for deliveries and disabled parking, and it sits in Andover's conservation area. Tell the skip company your exact address when you book so it can check whether a skip can go there under the county permit.
- Is the Scott Close tip better than a skip for SP10 rubble?
- For a few sacks, usually. The Andover tip on Scott Close charges per 50-litre rubble sack above your household's DIY allowance, and you book a slot first. Once it's a whole patio or more, a 6 yard builders skip at £365 saves the trips.
- What does Test Valley charge to collect a sofa from Andover?
- Test Valley's bulky collection costs £70 for up to four items. That's the simpler choice for a sofa and a few pieces of furniture. If you're clearing a whole room as well, a 4 yard midi at £270 takes the furniture and the rest together.
