Skip hire in Calne

Getting a skip in Calne

In Calne, London Road, Curzon Street and Lansdowne Row have rows of small terraced houses and cottages, and Alma Terrace and Victoria Terrace are short streets of terraced cottages off North Street. If your house there has no space off the street, the skip goes on the road under a Wiltshire Council licence, which the skip company arranges. Book at least three working days ahead, because a licence with less notice costs more. A 4 yard midi suits a bathroom strip-out from a cottage and takes up less road than a bigger skip.

On Calne's west edge, the bungalows in the old Castlefield House park stand on plots open to the street. Quemerford has 1960s bungalows and houses off Wessington Avenue and along Stockley Lane. If your drive has room, the skip sits there with no licence, and an 8 yard large takes a whole bungalow clear-out. For a few bags, Lower Compton tip is a short drive out of town, but you must book a visit and it shuts on Wednesdays and Thursdays. For a full clear-out, the skip saves you the trips.

Broken Cross Road in east Calne was built up on both sides by about 1930 with houses in pairs and terraces. Shelburne Road mixes detached houses, semi-detached pairs and terraced cottages. Check for room off the street first, since a skip on your own land needs no licence. Heavy soil or rubble from a patio dig goes in a 6 yard builders. For regular hedge and lawn cuttings, the council's garden bin at £75 a year beats hiring a skip each time.
